GeorgeLeafer will take care of thatNonsense! I’m off to start the Raty vs. Matthews - who will have the better career poll on the main boards.

Sir , we all know that this was the best , one of the most tremendous , maybe even the greatest second round pick of all time. So I think we need to crank this hype into overdrive.Calm your horses on the hype gentlemen, but i do agree this was a very good 2nd round pick, time will tell just how good.
Bust, can’t believe he missed that penalty shotEmpty netter from Rääty. 4 goals and a missed penalty shot. He is a man on a mission
And furthermore he said it was a lesson learned that will benefit him knowing this once he potentially gets to the NHL. Sounded very mature.He gave a lot right answers. I liked that he just admitted that there were better players than him and it was tough to play against men.
Thanks for all your insights, appreciate it!He kept the truth in him very well, I'm sure he was tempted to say more. It's true the team has money and they had more proven and probably better centers ahead, but that's only part of the truth.
If he'd been in some other teams he'd been at least 2C from the beginning and that could've set a very different tone to the season. In Kärpät he was placed to the 4th line with wingers of lower quality than we're used to seeing in our team. What's even worse they kept rotating the wingers around him and kept his TOI low. After a great game where he managed to score 2 goals they dropped him to the popcorn section.
I didn't follow the 2nd half of the season too closely, saw he was promoted to the 3rd line but felt the damage was already done. The FEL is tough league in which very few young prospects of his age do great unless they are placed along with two great forwards and given PP time.
i would love to see him say it.Butchie Goring will never be able to say this kids name .
Cool. Thanks for the response! We are all this kid's number one fan now as he joins the organization. Not a bad night either on the scoresheet!!This is more in line with Jesse Joensuu then those 2(ie a highly rated guy who fell to the 2nd round). Ho Sang and Kabanov were guys who had "character" issues
I must of missed that. I was listening when they made the pick and they spoke briefly about his fall and went right onto the next pick. I love XM NHL radio. I have it on in the car and stream it at work.NHL radio on Sirius XM spoke about him at length and explained why he wasn’t a top prospect anymore. At some point results matter and his results have been poor. His size and physical attributes got him to the top but his results got him out of the first round.
I like that we took a swing with him, but let’s temper our enthusiasm a little. Let’s see him get coached up a little. If that happens, then we have a steal. Right now he’s a lottery ticke.
Didn’t know he had COVID so that definitely could have affected his game. Zajac had Covid and it took him a while before he felt right again. Most athletes recover but some take longer then others to recover. I’m in my mid 40s I’m good health and got covid. Took me about a week to feel fine again.One aspect of the kids bad past year hasn't been emphasized enough I think: he had Covid and not the easiest one either. Took him quite a few months to recover. As an anecdotal evidence: I went through it as well, healthy and dare I say sporty 40+ man, and now after 8 months since my recovery, I'm starting to get my full breath and stamina back. The virus aint no joke..
Räty is still so young that he can develop his skating. It's mostly his posture, which isn't hard to train right. Would really better his edgework that way.
Will be a "steal".
Butchie Goring will never be able to say this kids name .
