PPG in college is impressive for any player. It seems to be a pretty good bar for determining if a prospect is NHL caliber (depending on their play style of course) so to have a defenseman scoring at that rate in his 2nd year (3rd year age wise) is definitely promising. Plus, good character and plays a solid 200ft game as has been well discussed here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regionals (if they make it)are as follows: Regionals | March March 27 - 29, 2020Regionals for the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Championship will be held March 27 - 29 at 4 locations. At each site, 4 teams will compete in single-elimination Regional Semifinal competition. The 2 winning teams will then compete against each other in single-elimination Regional Final competition at the same site. The winning team from each of the 4 Regionals will advance to the Frozen Four in Detroit, Mich. Then the Frozen Four is April 9th - 11th. As of this week, Harvard is ranked 20th in the nation so they may, or may not, make the Regionals. The Regional participants will be announced as follows: Selection Show | March 22, 2020The NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Championship bracket will be announced Sunday, March 22, time and network to be announced. So, I would say we would not know if Rathbone will be available to us this year until at least March 22nd.

I think Adam Fox is an interesting comparable, as they were teammates at Harvard last season. Adam Fox is playing for the Rangers this season and is doing very well as an NHL rookie. In his 3rd and final year at Harvard, Fox had 48 points in 33 games and was a plus 23. Fox currently has 31 points in 60 games with the Rangers, while being plus 14. Rathbone is a year younger than Fox, but played an extra year in college prep., so this current year for Rathbone (year 2) is comparable to Fox’s 3rd year at Harvard. The difference being that Fox had 3 years of playing against college students, while Rathbone has had 2 years of playing against college students.

He delayed going to college to remain close to his family. It’s just while he’s in his 2nd year like the players you’ve mentioned he’s a year older and in some cases 2 years older than some of the players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I know some have been high on Rathbone for some time. I personally haven't been keeping tabs on him, but man - he is in some very good company at this stage in his career. At one point I was rather worried about our only high end defensive prospect being OJ as I somehow am not that confident Woo will be a strong NHL player, but with Rafferty making waves and now Rathbone doing so well, I don't really see our defensive prospect pool as a problem anymore. Truly, guys... I've watched Canucks hockey for 3 decades now, and I have never seen our team draft and sign anywhere remotely close to the level we are seeing over JB's tenure. While I understand and agree with Benning's use of picks to bring in Miller and TT, it sure would have been interesting to see what other gems he and Brackett could have found. Thats OK - we picked up two great players who are as good (if not likely better) than what the draft would bring, without the required development time, no less. Sure hope we find a way to re-sign TT. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is also scoring at a higher rate than some of these players did in their 3rd year of college. He was only older than Werenski by 2 years and 7most he is less than a year older For example, he is 7 months older than Makar was in his 2nd year Edited February 23, 2020 by Rick Blight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to point out that Rathbones 2nd year should be compared to his peers 3rd years. By doing that it has them closer in age by him waiting another year to go to college. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope we find a way to re-sign TT. Its a very good time to be a canuck fan. Gone were the days were CDCers were attached to guys like Alex Mallet, Alex Grenier, Matt Beatie, Dane Fox, etc. pencilling them in the roster. Now its a pick'em since we have so many high end prospects, seems like theres a new guy making it to the team. Benning and Co. one thing they do is draft extremely well. Even if we don't have 1st and 2nd picks, I have no doubt they'll come away with some talent in this years draft. Doesn't matter where they were drafted, as long as they have a legit shot at making it to the bigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Fox also played for Harvard. In his second year he had 27 points in 28 games. In his third year, he had 48 points in 33 games. Rathbone also plays for Harvard and is his second year. This year, Fox is 31 points in 61 games for the Rangers. Fox is 5’11 180, Rathbone is 5’11 190. Rathbone has a rep of being better defensively than Fox. Since they played on the same team last year, meaningful comparison is possible. But, will Rathbone develop at the same rate as Fox, will his game translate to the NHL - will he get the opportunity that Fox did? Who knows, it’s beyond me, but it would be interesting to see. Hopefully, he will be at the Young Stars in Penticton in September - a great time to get a read on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
