I was a huge critic of the trade from Carolina's perspective when it happened. But they are looking as if they will score their first play off year in many. And will keep Hamilton. They will also retain the money they don't spend on Ferland. To sign on someone else. Which considering reports of his sense of self worth, will be better than keeping him. Its just Fox they will lose. Which was always the risk. I'll give them a pass if they make the play off's. Its worth something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. And as much as he will miss out on some millions by not going an year earlier to the NHL, depending on his degree he can probably make much more than that post retirement.

timberz21 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I shouldn't say this, but I hope he gets injured his senior year (nothing career or life threatening though). Just enough to make him miss his senior season and mess up his leverage in free agency. Might deter some future college players to not sign with the team drafting them.

There could be 'compensation' involved. Signing team must hand over a 3rd round pick, or better, for a player drafted in the 3rd round etc.. Would not be surprised to see Carolina trade his 'negotiation rights' for a late pick. Probably could get a very mild bidding war going between the NY state teams ! Maybe a 3 -> 6th rd round pick ?

Mr.53 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Yooooo, He would be the perfect addition. We add Adam Fox and maybe one more RHD prospect and we're set. That would be awesome. Big time play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra pick in the 2nd round I think. ( Blake Wheeler did this I believe ). Not nearly enough and yes, something has to change (....well, should change ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that making a full entry level offer should be considered a qualifying offer making that player a RFA until age 27. Its the same for a junior player that develops in the AHL, why not one that develops in the NCAA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 He's the same height as Stecher and Hughes. Can't see the nux very likely going with 3 starting defensemen at 5'10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show a commitment to Rathbone and send Fox weekly love letters to gain his favour. speculation, the sky is blue and water is wet all kidding aside, he obviously has a destination in mind. I expect JB will kick the tires, but little to no chance anything comes of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
