Mackcanuck Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 "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)." "Right now - the Canucks are currently 6th in waiver priority(due to point percentage). Colorado, Arizona (who has 50 contracts), Buffalo, Winnipeg and New Jersey, 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 ARZ just claimed Burmistrov so if I am not mistaken they go to the end of the line in picking now.

ECKO Canuck Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Interesting that the Canucks past over Rattie and claimed Boucher. Both are good young players though I just dont see a spot for another LW like Boucher but he could be really good if he can play in our top 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd just repost the obvious - that a rookie playing the kind of minutes he is - with 23.1% offensive zone starts (and great possession numbers) - isn't judged on productionalone, particularly when he's also been playing with the NHL's youngest blueline for long stretches. You don't judge players with this kind of deployment (ie did you judge Malhotra on production) on the "score sheet." If he is sent down it's simply because the team doesn't want to lose any assets to waivers and is dealing with a handful of lost forwards. "invisible" is a compliment for a player in that role - and tbh, if you haven't noticed him, that may just be your own perception - and what you look for. 18 hours ago, oldnews said: Scoring goals isn't necessarily the role or expectation of Gaunce (or Chaput) at this point though. Would be nice, but at the same time, a rookie with the lowest ozone starts and one of the best shot attempt differentials - suggest that the fourth line is doing their job - limiting chances/goals against, generating territory and whenever possible, spending time in the attacking zone. It's a pretty good ground for a future shutdown or middle six two way forward imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they given up on him as a scorer? I suppose I was filtering my view of him for more offence, given where he was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, for a young player / rookie - the fact he is not sheltered at all - is a compliment and shows that they trust him in harder minutes than rookies typically play. I think it indicates what I said before - that they're cutting his teeth for a middle six shutdown / hard minutes / two way role - and in the shorter term, I doubt they care much about "the scoresheet." That can't be expected in context. It is what it is - not what it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Hockey Place Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Still need more right shooting forwards. Look at NHL top scores. Higher % of RW than LW. More unexpected names on that right side too. Suggest more wild card opps. from that side. Yes players can play both wings. But it comes down to shooting angles. Canucks right shooting forwards - Sutter, Hansen, Dorsett, Skille, Megna, Virtanen, Grenier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
