Rathbone is going to be a fabulous player, much like Dennis Potvin.  He’s got elite skating and skills, plus he has a mean streak.  Juiolevi will be a quietly efficient player, much like Guy Lapoint.  And then we have Quinn Hughes playing like Bobby Orr.  These three on D, with Depietro in goal, Bo/Pettersson/Jake/Brock and Jack Hughes up front, it’s obvious JB is building a dynasty like those old Islander, Habs, and Bruins.

According to this ranking system, Rathbone's point totals for this season are more impressive than Juolevi's based on age and league. It is not in any way saying that Rathbone projects to be a better than Juolevi. If Rathbone continues to be ranked highly by this system, then it would reasonable to suggest that he could turn into a better point producer than Juolevi. 

 

Stats and ranking systems such as these are useful if one can use them without jumping to conclusions that aren't actually made by said stat/ranking system.

That may be true and I suspect you're correct, but like judging opponents or players you can only play the game or look at the stats provided for what they are

Core

Pettersson

Horvat 

Boesser

virtanen

gaudette

 

Stetcher

Hughes

juolevi

 

Demko

 

fingers crossed for 

rathbone, woo, Lind, Gadjo, Dahlen, Jasek, Palmu, Brisebois DiPietro, Chsttefield 

 

good transitional core

 

edler, Tanev, Hutton, Guddy

sutter, Roussel, Beagle, Granlund

 

guys who should prob be moved in next year if they do not cement a spot:

 

hutton, Baertschi, Goldy

JB needs to trade Edler then re sign him - this would be a huge move for the franchise. He is still our best d man sadly.

 

Overall future looks bright.

three Canucks in the top PNHLe scores for defensive prospects... Woo, Rathbone, and of course Hughes (who is tied for #2).

Actually 4 Canucks....Oli is ranked to low though....

Rathbone slotted in between SAndin and Boqvist ....that is a bit surprising, but I can see a more complete player than Boqvist....

Also I can see Quinn reeling in Fox by the end of the season....his game is trending up big time...!

Important to note that Fox has two extra years of development on Hughes.

PNHLe scores adjust for age, league, position etc. It’s a way to put all prospects on equal footing. 

 

However, Fox has been having an unprecedented season and was up to over 2.5 ppg at the NCAA level at one point, but since has regressed to just under 2 ppg. 

 

hughes meanwhile started out quite slow offensively (relatively speaking) but after a handful of games he remembered he’s found his scoring touch and now he and fox are tied for first in NCAA defense scoring (fox in 11 games played and Hughes in 20). 

 

As the season rolls along, fox will likely regress a bit more and probably hughes to an extent as well, but they’re much more equal than the scores would suggest. Sample size and all that

Fox 2016 draft, hughes 2018 draft. 

Yeah, but when it comes to development Hughes is a 2nd year NCAA player and Fox is a 3rd year player. I guess two years apart in the draft could suggest two extra years of development but I am not sure I buy that in this case since they are only a year apart at the NCAA level and only a year apart when they played in the USHL as well.

Anyways, that explains the two years......

yeah its more to do with NHL eligibility than college eligibility. since Fox is a February 1998 birthday and Hughes is a October 1999 birthday, Fox is considered 2 years ahead. for example, Hughes and Makar are both sophomores, but Makar is over 11 months older than hughes. mMkar was eligible for the NHL one year before Hughes was.

 

Also, because Makar is older is PNHLe score is lower than Hughes's, even though he has a higher Points per game

I feel that Quinn Hughes is the 3rd best player in the Canucks organization right now, behing Bo and EP, ahead of Brock and Virt.  He is going to change the entire look of this team when he signs.  Can't believe we have him.  We haven't ever had a defenseman that has the gamebreaking skill and skating ability he does.

He could be, but he needs to play a few games first!  To be honest, not many teams have ever had a d man that can skate like Hughes.  They are some of the rarest of players.  Coffee, Leetch and Housley come to mind.  All shifty guys that are more like 4th forwards than d men.  That was also the knock against them too.

I get really high on about one less covered prospect of ours every year.  Last year it was Gaudette, this year it is Rathbone.  The kid has seriously impressed me with what he is able to do.  I think he's gonna be a bonafide top 4 one day and he might even be top two with Hughes.
