jyu Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Did he have a growth spurt or something? I remember he was 5'10 or 5'11 when I was reading his profile in his draft year, or am I remembering it wrong? Taller than I thought and has a projectable frame. Could work out pretty well for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL surely did a great job eliminating hits from the game. I like the speed and skill but that's my one complaint about the current NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hope they send him straight to Abby. Good things could happen there. Play him with Podz and see what happens. Better to win in Abby than what is going to happen in Van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I’m reading that he has a strong defensive game, can anyone with more insight confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanuck94 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 If he develops well, Canucks have the opportunity to have both of their top 2 centers be really good two-way players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igorwasgreat Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Abbotsford bound is music to my ears , should be a Paul Brandt song. As others have said and I reiterate , so great to see us developing in the minors. The process is slow , but the process is there, Finally. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen of him and what I've read, he's a solid 200ft 2-way centre with a scoring touch. TBH, wouldn't surprise me one bit if he becomes a 50 to 60 point, 2-way 2C. Sound familiar? 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I see it. He has all the tools (even does well on faceoffs >50% in the NHL so far). Just needs to adapt to North America. Remember, the kid was 19 years old as recent as November. He's very young still. Edited January 31, 2023 by HKSR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having our two top centres playing 200 foot hockey, while putting up 160 or so points would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nave Posted January 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2023 Stoked we got Raty. He played really well for Jukerit in the Liiga after being drafted. Proved that he shouldn't have dropped in the draft. Glad he's going to play in Abbotsford. Really psyched to see who he plays with, and if he helps us in the playoffs. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a lot bigger than I thought. Growth spurt? He could be an absolute steal. Big, skilled, smart, 200 foot centre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I am definitely excited about this kid. Big, good skater, great hands, wicked shot, and has a good all around game. I really think he'll be a great middle 6 center for us. Confidence is key though, if we can get him believing in himself we just got ourselves a massive win. He has all the tools to dominate. Should fit in with Tocchet's system as well. Sounds like he's a two way kind of guy. Giggity. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
