Fred65 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Frankly I would have been shocked had he not made the all rookie team. He has skills that seperate him from the "rest" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has skills that seperate him from the "rest" He should be on the All-AHL team as well, whether it be 1st or 2nd team. Kid had a heck of a season.

MrCanuck94 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Did Rafferty kill penalties with the Comets? I tried searching this topic but couldn't find an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard and read here, seems like his more of a PP specialist and offensive force. Meanwhile OJ plays in all situations including the PK.

I'd be curious to see how far off he was in the ROY vote that Norris won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafferty rarely killed penalties at the beginning of the year, but more so toward the end. I can’t prove that with stats (the AHL does not produce that stat) just my observation of the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost a guarantee then that Tanev stays to be part of the RHD on the PK with Myers next season unless we bring in someone through free agency. There's no way we run with Stecher on the second unit if Rafferty can't share the load. Even if he can, I doubt we take a chance on that while trying to compete.

Fred65 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Rafferty is the chnace to bring in a lower Cap hit and the team certainly knows that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I may be wrong but doesn't Rafferty have a one year, one way contract for next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to check out Cap Friendly to see: https://www.capfriendly.com/players/brogan-rafferty If he isn't quite ready the Canucks won't balk at paying him his full salary in the AHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisebois rarely makes a wrong step defensively, at least in the AHL, and he got better all through the year. Rafferty is by far the best in Utica offensively and still brings the second best +/- (+17) on the team after Brisebois (+21). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Canucks would like to keep Tanev, if they can, he is the best defensive D man on the team, and a very good pairing with Hughes. The question is fragility, but he missed little time this season. Whether that is because of being paired with Hughes, as one person suggested, or because the training staff changed his gear as suggested on a tv interview, or just dumb luck is up to the Canucks to wager on.

Rafferty is a rightee' and Breezer is a leftee' I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
