As much as one can glean from glorified pond hockey anyway. I'm curious, how do we judge him next season. He will be in his D+2 year, but only his freshman year in collage. In contrast, We'll be looking at Tkachuck in his D+1 year as a sophomore. So do we judge based on his Draft year or his status in the NCAA? These situations always frustrate me.

Comparing a 20 year old Rathbone to an 18 year old Hughes wouldn't be fair. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty high on Rathbone. I'm just curious as to how people will judge his abilities based on his unique status. Why do you assume the worst when I made no negative statement? Edit: Apparently you were being sarcastic. I apologize if that was the case. Edited June 15, 2018 by Bigturk8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As much as people like to use averages, 'normals' etc to analyze things, generally speaking they tell you more about groups than individuals. Judge individual players more so on their ability and forward progress. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dixon Ward 2,172 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Juolevi, Tryamkin, and 7th overall along with 1 or 2 of Rathbone, Brassard, Brisebois, Sautner, Mceneny, Pouliot. It actually looks pretty good. I think we could actually have a pretty strong, young defence pretty soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
