But I wouldn’t rule out Rathbone from being an impact player for the Canucks. He showed well in the 16 games he played in last season. I expect some good things from him this upcoming season. Woo on the other hand, I’d love for him to make the team, but I just don’t see it. I think he needs another season of seasoning in the AHL with Abby. Oh definitely, Fox is already an elite #1 d-man. I'd be happy with Rathbone being a solid second pairing guy. Anything more is gravy. Fox had no issues transitioning from College Hockey to the NHL so I'm hoping the same for Rathbone to improve our backend strength next season. Didn't look out of place the games he played imo.

Actually did a lights out job. nothing suggests rathbone wouldn't have the same success fox is having his first year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone is awesome, but he’s not going to get the Cherry minutes that Fox gets, so he won’t put up big points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathbones first nhl goal against edmonton was a beauty. He 'll just have to work harder which isnt a problem for this kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd be willing to bet that Green was shielding him as well. Maybe I'm wrong. Can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like Juolevi is more of a defensively defenseman and Rathbone is more an offensives defenseman. Your right. Two different styles of play. Both are very much needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, he also got some PP1 mins alongside Quinn, which I never expected to happen at all the next decade barring injury. Kid's gonna be a beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying it will happen, but a trade with the rangers Rathbone for Braden Schneider would not surprise me I would not like it, but it would not surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jim's pretty high on Rathbone and I'm not sure he moves him for someone that hasn't proven they can play in the NHL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope you are right Jimmy I love Rathbone, and can't wait until he get's a whole season in IMO, he reminds me of a Doug Lidster all around type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a little healthier tho. I don't think we need to worry, Jim's not going to move Rathbone for something that wouldn't make you happy. But I hope we keep him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Fred, Please read the Army article. OJ lost 10 to 15 lbs with Covid 19. He was wrecked. It is a respiratory disease primarily and OJ is lucky not to have permanent organ damage if he got any worse just based off that description, think of OJ’s health, conditioning, nutrition and healthcare access. To still get legitimately ill with all of what the Canucks good bring to protect his long term health, no wonder he wasn’t on the ice much post the Covid outbreak, his lungs were banged up pretty bad. Salo has passed the torch. Watch out for snakes and Rats OJ, also protect those nuts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been an inspirational player during his history of Pro hockey, always a minus player, I hope he is a stand out in camp but I wouldn't bet my house on it. He just hasn't shown enough to make him an odds on bet. The two question are :- Q1 what does he get in his new contract, he's an RFA . what you pay him?? And Q2 what would he garner as a draft pick today ?? Edited July 4, 2021 by Fred65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Benning stated OJ was amongst or the sickest player from covid… a respiratory disease, which primarily affects the lungs, in ways we do not fully understand yet. Ask Green about his coaching duties and assignments. IDK what, ‘waht does he get in hisne contract, he’s an RFA .’ I would pay him as little as possible and retain his services, which is what GM’s are supposed to do, or trade him. Is OJ holding out for ‘hisne’, whatever that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Added to above. Pre draft I wanted Chychurn, not OJ and never Tkachuk and due to Serge’s Russian status, pre Podz, i didn’t think it likely JB take him. OJ was alright, but I was really after PLD more than anyone.
