    Let's make a deal for an old (not so old) buddy of Rathbone. Played together in Utica some.

    Reilly Walsh / right shot defense / Cap hit $925,000. / New Jersey. What would it take?

     

    That Harvard defence in Rathbone's first year consists (top 4 anyways) of Fox, Marino, Walsh and Rathbone. Not bad.

    BTW, Walsh did not play together with him last year in Utica. (JR in Abby)

    The problem any offense oriented LHD is going to have for the next decade in Vancouver is that their numbers won't be very high without PP points.   There isn't much they can do with the tag end of the 2 minutes after Huggy Bear has absorbed 1:45 to 1:50 minutes each time.  Just remember how good OEL looked in the couple of games QH missed.

     

    Unless Bruce (or whoever) manages down Hughes' PP minutes, Bones would always have better numbers in a different sweater.  Hard to do, though as pretty much anyone devalues the powerplay if they replace Hughes.

    Eventually add Rathbone to PP1 -  Rathbone with his shot replacing EP40, who will replace Miller, who'll be traded.

    I knew that he was playing good enough away from the puck to be called up. His overall skill and skating is just to high. He needed time to understand the timing of playing different angles to slowdown players on the attack. He is short, but not light at 190 pounds. There are many NHL defensemen whom are 6 feet and only 185 to 190. 

    I say if Torey Krug can make it, so can Rathbone. Krug was similar size at the start of his career, now he's 205 lbs and imo, Rathbone can be better than Krug.

    Sid, you must have watched a fair bit of Reilly Walsh, as he was the RD player.  He looks like

    he's close to making the jump to the Devils; maybe next season.  He is the same age as Jack

    and believe there were top pairing in Uni.  What did you think of Walsh's game?

    Then that Harvard D had Fox, Rathbone, Marino and Walsh that year. (I just noticed that Marino never played in the AHL)

    Rathbone blasts one  in unassisted - maybe we could use that shot on our pp - Hughes is as good as any forward as a playmaker - have a two D PP with Rathbone as the shooter, Hughes as the QB.

    Didn't they do this last year for a bit?

    darn. Canucks should be encouraging them to play him at center because the Canucks can always convert him to a winger if needed in the future. if those stats were acurate 53% faceoffs is not tooo bad but I know theres more to playing center than just faceoffs. 

    I believe someone was saying the 53% FO guy is another Linus Karlsson.
