Hoping it is just a quick look as the Abby Canucks really need him in the lineup if they want to challenge for the Calder Cup.

 

It’ll almost certainly be a quick look, since Rathbone is just here covering for Hughes (illness).

 

IIRC, emergency recalls can only stay up for the length of the “emergency.” Emergency conditions exist when, due to incapacitating injury or illness, an NHL team goes under their roster minimums (12F 6D 2G).
 

As soon as Hughes is over his stomach bug and able to play, the CBA requires the “prompt return” (to the AHL) of the emergency recall player.

Rathbone is important for Abby. However, Abby is already qualify for payoff, and the payoff is not yet started. It will be okay to call him up for emergency.

Well aware that they have already qualified but would really like to see them overtake Bakersfield and get home ice advantage. 1st round is best of three and team higher in the rankings gets all 3 games on home ice.

His offense has been insane in Abbotsford. Really hoping Quinn can show him what decent defense at the NHL looks like for a small defenseman.

What, is Hughes going to show Rathbone some old videos of how Pat Stapleton played?

Showcasing Rathbone as potential trade bait this summer?  

Potentially, but probably not the case. In any event, if the Canucks were looking to showcase Rathbone, then I would prefer that they did it over most/all of a full NHL season.

They likely wanna reward him and show him they do have him in their plans. Good to get him around the team for his actual recall later in the season.

 

The fact that it’s under emergency conditions means he has to be sent right back down if Hughes is good to go.

Of course 'their plans' could be to move him as part of a deal in the offseason.

Well, yeah, but if Hunt sits then who gets slotted into the whipping boy position?

because rushing our youth works so well

Lol, the kid lives and plays down the road and is having a great season, he's leading all Abby dmen in scoring,  he's watched numerous teammates get called up and can now be rewarded himself with his own callup, and you think he's being rushed. It's not like he got put on the roster when he was 18.

This qualifies as an 'emergency' callup situation.

Jack has quietly had a great season - this is recognition of that.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with 'rushing our youth' - that's a false narrative that doesn't apply here.

Potentially. This is likely just a precaution though.

 

Doubt he sees a game.

 

I agree. Likely Burroughs and Hunt are in first and Rathbone doesn't play.

 

Not that I am good with that..

 

Every nux fan would like to see Jack get another look this year after 9 games in the Green debacle.  Let's see what he can bring right?

 

Also wanted to say Dickinson and Poolman both had lousy games their first games back from long layoffs.  Burroughs has been off for a long time.  Rathbone has been playing well every game for the last couple weeks in Abby.

 

Another reason to put him in.
