His edgework is already the best in the NHL along with Barzal, Skinner, McDavid, etc. There’s a reason some scouts are saying he’s the best skater they’ve seen. I don’t see his shot being much of a problem once he fills out and matures. Never going to have a great shot, but it should be good enough in a few years when he’s much stronger. I’m sure EP can give him some pointers. I don't know if theres a comparable, but in IMO, I know its a different sport, but he's hockeys version of Allan Iverson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you rate their hockey IQs? The same? Would you say Rathbone is just as good as Q Hughes? no all I said was what the scouts have pointed out. listen to JBand I forget the other guy's name, were raving about his shot right before they drafted him. as for his skating. That was brought up several times at prospect camp and from diff sources out there His edgework may not be as good as Quinns.but his overall skating has been directly compared to Quinn by Quinn. People forget if Jack took the traditional route he was projected as a top 5 pick at one point. Not sure why people would argue this. We should behappy a 3rd round pick is playing the most mins on his team, averaging clolse to appoint game, and is bif with a cannon of a shot. If you doubt what I'm saying ask Sid or watch him play.Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya honestly it's hard to say, i like him but certainly not top 5 haha. Even if he jumped right into NCAA in d+1, I guarantee he wouldn't of even gone first round.

Fred65 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Rathbone was ranked by FC Hockey (Future Considerations) at # 80 https://futureconsiderations.ca/top-rankings-2017/ and described as following "Rathbone is a raw, confident puck-moving blueliner. He has impressive vision, smart and solid playmaking ability. He is a smooth and powerful skater. Excellent footwork and all-direction mobility allow him to be elusive while skating the puck up ice. He can make up mistakes with his impressive skating and getting back to break up plays defensively. Sees where he is limited and factors risk before making a play. Not a big player but physically withstands hits and the forecheck, fighting tooth and nail to retain the puck. Handles himself well under pressure. His game is based off intelligence, and utilizing his mobility to be efficient. He stays on the hesitant side when rushing the puck and is more of the pass-first type. He slings the puck with authority and can facilitate accurate long range breakouts. Has a cannon of a shot and lets his one-timer go with good timing. A real weapon from the point on the powerplay as both a passer and triggerman. He is great at walking the blue line with his head up and getting shots through. Not physical and can be caught overusing his stick as his primary defensive tool. He knows where he needs to be to defend and push opponents away from his crease but shows mixed results. Room to grow in his defensive game. Also, needs to add considerable strength to his frame. Not going to jump to the NHL very quickly, but a nice project pick who has good puck-moving upside. He is an offensive threat and extremely good first pass from the back end." Vcr took him at #95 Edited January 27, 2019 by Fred65 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post canuckledraggin Posted January 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2019 I caught some of the game tonight. It's hard to watch a game when you only get to see the player you're looking for is on the ice for a third of the game. What poise from this kid. He almost never makes a mistake. He's always on the right side of the puck. He makes every pass on the tape and some of the stretch passes he made lead directly to scoring chances. The last time I referred to his game I used the adjective Smooth. Watching him tonight the word effortless comes to mind. 1 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podzilla Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I can see him turning pro next season. I think he’ll be pushing for a spot after 1 year in the AHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
