Popular Post Mathew Barzal Posted March 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2019 Benning needs to make a big play here IMO. Show a commitment to Rathbone and send Fox weekly love letters to gain his favour. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Ironman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I wonder if Calgary knew this was his intention..... if the 'speculation' is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Can't do anything before 15 August next season unless they receive prior approval from the Hurricanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they absolutely did. There were rumors back when he was traded that the Flames knew they weren't going to be able to sign him and so that's why they parted with him in the deal that got them Hanifin/Lindholm. Hurricanes stood a "better" chance but it's clear he's got his eyes on some team. I suspect he'll land in either Boston or on the Rangers. The Harvard guys tend to be the ones who test this NCAA loophole. Vesey, Kerfoot, and now Fox have all gone this route. But it's hard to talk these guys out of such a move... by staying at Harvard for 4 years -- they get a Harvard degree + they get to go where they want to in the NHL... it's hard to persuade them to change their mind once a decision has been made. With that said, I'm not concerned about Rathbone getting to this point. Rathbone seems like a pretty standup kid and he's already attended 2 Prospect Development camps. I bet he'll come for a third. Since he's an NCAA, he's paying for his trip out of his own pocket. My guess is Rathbone signs with the Canucks at the end of next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlastPast Posted March 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2019 Oh great, now we're going to have bi-weekly Adam Fox threads for the next 16 months and if Benning doesn't land him some will be calling for his head. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised if New Jersey would be a real contender to land him. Rangers is clear favourite. It would be quite "fun" to see him go somewhere more non traditional, Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Huh. Could be interesting. Obviously, Jim would be dumb to not offer a contract. It is very unlikely he lands in Vancouver though. It seems like he doesn't want to play in Carolina. 48 pts this season, has really nothing left to prove a the collegiate level. Wouldn't be surprised if he did end up on one of the New York teams.

Popular Post oldnews Posted March 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2019 Real potential to be the worst deal in Canes history if this turns out to be the case. Lindholm and Hanifin for Hamilton, a year rental of Ferland, and a prospect that walks. Didn't look good from the get-go imo - but just gets worse and worse as Lindholm breaks out and Hanifin outperforms Dougeeee. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Not too surprised. Carolina has a lot of depth on defense still, and is in a small market with a bad owner/team. Similar to Calgary, who has a loaded defense and plays in an absolute cesspool of a city. Why not finish up school and get to choose a good fit in his position?

5Fivehole0 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I don't understand how that's a good thing for college hockey. It's going to make teams more weary of taking those guys early. Though I do understand not wanting to sign with the Canes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a risk but that's why you interview the players before the draft and get an idea of who they are as people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told them he was keen on signing and then bounced on them. People can pretend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned Vesey had attended all camps and I believe Fox had attended all of Calgary's camps up to him being traded. So it's hard to say just by attending camps that they are set. Rathbone seems like a good character guy which is an important criteria for Benning when drafting. Hopefully Rathbone gets Fox to sign here rather than Fox putting ideas into Rathbone's head to join him or simply to go to UFA and pick your own destination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
