You can twist your reality to fit what you want however you like. I won't judge. edit: and we're not just looking at point potentials, we're looking at their production thus far in their careers. Rathbone is a year younger and doing better in underlying analytical metrics The graphs you showed state it's a projection of point potential. And like I said, I'm not going to bother pitting one against the other. I'm glad we have both. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how even on Rathbones own Thread it's like pulling teeth to even talk about the possibility that he might be better than Ollie.

You said he was sheltered, you have not proven that. Either back up what you allege, or admit you were wrong, and move on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't feel there's a need to praise Rathbone by knocking Juolevi. I've praised Rathbone plenty without doing so. I'm very excited to see Rathbone's future here hopefully along with Juolevi. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing sheltered games let alone ice-time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask Rafferty how life changing being an AHL all star was Rafferty is like 27 so you cant compare him to Rathbone, who's 1 of only 10 players in the last decade to score a point a game in college. edit: ok so he's 25. still too old to compare though.

I hope Juolevi becomes a great player. Edited March 7, 2021 by Pure961089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since JB took over, something changed in our drafting. This sort of thing has never happened for the Canucks. Our backend will have a lot of puck movers: Hughes, Rathbone, Schmidt, Juolevi, Myers. Would be great if we can bolster our RHD with elite defensive abilities. Maybe this is the draft we get luck like Dallas in 2017, Winnipeg in 2016, NYR in 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that OJ is good in the long run but Rathbone is more dynamic and gives us a great 2nd pp quarterback to Hughes on the first. So I'm gonna hope Rathbone turns out better than OJ who can be a very solid 3LD for us for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 5 minutes ago, Sbriggs said: OJ > Rathbone Probably. I think the team will have room for both of them though. Jack is off to a great start down in Utica. Next training camp I expect a lot of battles for spots both on the D and forward. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
