If he's more that a tweener on your team, you likely don't make the playoffs.

 

[doulos]

Sure. It's a thing.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Depth is never a bad thing. IIRC we tried to claim him on waivers last year as well so clearly he has some fans in management.

 

[NedPlimpton]

yeah. No problem with this for what it is. Not much else to say.

 

[McDNicks17]

Worth a shot.

 

[Homesick]

Beck replacement for Bakersfield

 

[Cerebral]

I scored a penalty shot goal on Rattie (who was playing goalie) at the Play On ball hockey tournament here in Calgary a few years ago.

At this point, Rattie seems like one of those tweeters who can't quite translate his offence to the NHL level. I think this is a good signing assuming he starts in Bakersfield.

Meh. I guess worth a shot as AHL depth. Maybe he can bounce back and play in our top 6 down there.

He didn't have any offense in the AHL last year either. Put up 5 points in 22 games.

He's an AHL reclamation project. Unlikely to be an NHL one.

This signing

Wouldn't have Pitlick been a better signing for close to the same money?

Got 3 year term from Dallas likely a better option for him.

Pitlick is NHL calibre, just can't stay healthy at all

 

[Paralyzer008]

A very Bob Green signing.

Guy loves his Bantam stars.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Decent depth.

 

[KneeOnKnee]

Oh good I was hoping the Oilers would make a splash

 

[Pointteen]

That's a decent depth option.

 

[rboomercat90]

Not trying to be a jerk here but who's Ty Rattie?

 

[duul]

Similar style player to Pitlick. Less physical, bit worse of a shot. Hasn't been able to get things going in the NHL. Doubt he pans out, but players like this are who you need to be taking gambles on. Need a player to pan out a la Sheary/Rust.

 

[McDNicks17]

Not trying to be a jerk here but who's Ty Rattie?

Alberta Bantam and WHL star.

Was a decent AHLer. Fell off a cliff last season.

Kind of in the Eberle mold of smallish, skilled and not great skating.

 

[nabob]

He was a UFA, he can sign where he chooses.

 

[TheRebuild]

Yeah, but in everyone's eyes here, when a player doesn't sign (or resign) here it's because management didn't make them an offer, and has nothing to do with the fact that the player maybe wanted to move on.

 

[misfit]

I don't even know why this team has pro scouts. Every player they bring in is done so based on their draft position or junior careers.

With that said, I think he can be good in Bakersfield and as a 4RW. Not expecting much more than that.

Hahahaha true. I still have nightmares of the Oil Change scene where they were talking about Colton Tuebert's scouting profile in his draft year
