Jägermeister Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Ty Rattie isn't that great. He is too weak and doesn't skate well enough to be able to be an offensive threat. And if he isn't scoring he isn't worth playing. I wouldn't be opposed to picking him up, who knows maybe a change of scenery could help him turn his career around a bit, but he is not really any better of a prospect than Nicklas Jensen is at this point.

Quantum Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If Rattie drops to us, claim him. He's the type of project player the Canucks need. Young, cheap, RFA, former teammate of Baertschi. I'd take him and waive Megna. Slot Rattie on third line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Rattie is worth a gamble especially if it pushes Virtanen to improve with competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 You gotta put in a claim for Rattie. Even if he is struggling right now, I'd still take potential over Megna/Chaput. If he doesn't work out by the time Hansen is back, then all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think it's an obvious claim, but Megna and chaput are loved by the coaching staff and benning so they'll pass who else has gone 3 straight games with the sedin twins and pp time without getting a point? Only one man has gotten that kinda love....linden vey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 An article by CanucksArmy on why the Canucks should claim Ty Rattie: Quote Another day, and another player that should be claimed by the Canucks is on waivers. This time, it's former second round pick Ty Rattie who was placed on waivers by the St Louis Blues this morning. The feature image is intentional - Ty Rattie played for the Portland Winterhawks from 2009 - 2013, where he posted 348 points in 269 regular season games. Portland is where current Canucks winger Sven Baertschi played his WHL days, and the two of them were absolutely dominant together. The above picture is during the 2011-12 season, where Rattie and Baertschi led the Winterhawks in scoring. Baertschi turned pro the following summer, while Rattie returned to Portland and put up another 110 points. He followed that season up with 36 points in 21 WHL playoff games and then 12 points in 5 Memorial Cup games.

He has appeared in 30 NHL contests over the past three seasons, where he has 8 points. Not remarkable production, but his point totals last season of 4 goals and 2 assist in 13 NHL contests is encouraging. Unfortunately, due to his limited NHL action, we don't have in-depth information on his underlying numbers. The obvious connection to Sven Baerstchi is a one good reason to place a claim on Rattie. If you think they can recapture their previous chemistry and translate that to the NHL, then Rattie may be able to build up some confidence and use it as a leaping off point. At this moment, the Canucks have 45 contracts on the books for this season, and Rattie is a pending RFA that is making $650,000. If the Canucks were to claim Rattie, they would be responsible for a $350,278 cap hit for the remainder of the season. They have enough room to take on that salary, and would have the roster space available by placing forward Jannik Hansen on IR. (Derek Dorsett, Erik Gudbranson, and Philip Larsen are currently on IR). We've spoken about this many times, but the Canucks are in a position that making minor improvements in their lineup everywhere is a worthwhile venture. If you can add a player like Ty Rattie for no cost, it is worth looking at. At the very least, it improves the overall depth of the organization going forward. Given that he is a pending RFA, if you feel that after seeing him in some games with the club that he isn't a good long term option, then you would just not tender him a qualifying offer and let him walk as an RFA. But if he can get things going, and based on his WHL and AHL production, that isn't a crazy thought process, then it's worth the gamble. Right now - the Canucks are currently 9th in waiver priority. Colorado, Arizona, Buffalo, New York Islanders, Winnipeg, New Jersey, Detroit and Nashville would have to pass on the young winger for the Canucks to have a chance at adding him. Rattie is 23 years old, cost controlled, contract controlled and has produced at every level when given a chance. For the Canucks, a team who has admitted to wanting to compete for the playoffs every year while keeping an eye on the future, adding Rattie seems like a no brainer. http://canucksarmy.com/2017/1/3/canucks-should-claim-ty-rattie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
