Recalled/Assigned: Canucks recall D Jack Rathbone (Apr 16)

[bandwagonesque]

Yeah pretty ridiculous, we went from:

>Brackett coached Rathbone when he was younger, I'm worried that firing Brackett might have an impact on Rathbone's decision to sign here?

>BRACKETT NEVER COACHED RATHBONE. SOURCE?! LOL IDIOT

>Provides quote from Rathbone confirming that he was coached by Brackett.

>...

>LOL @ the conspiracy theory of Brackett and Rathbone having a tight relationship.

-

Moronic.

Your misrepresentations of each of these sentiments range from slight to so egregious they have almost nothing to do with what was actually said.

 

[VancouverJagger]

WOW!!! THIS IS SUCH AWESOME NEWS!!!! Totally stoked on this!!!

This is HUGE FOR US!! Whoooo HOOOOOO!!!

 

[VancouverJagger]

He clearly values his relationship with Chris and Ryan more than with Judd...
Sorry but I can’t help myself remembering the “Brackett and Rathbone has tight relationship” conspiracy theory

Yeah the Brackett thing was total BS - of course he's gonna say nice things about anyone in the organization. Just like he did with Brackett it's now Chris and Ryan.............

Either way stoked for his signing.

Hahah nailed it. It really does seem to be always about taking innocuous opinions and exaggerating them to ridiculous heights. I guess we should all reel that in.

Great news today either way!

Anyone know what # he may wear ?

 

[Diamonddog01]

Desperately.

If you think Rathbone is the real deal, and with Edler looking like he has another 2-3 good years in him, at least, it looks like the left side could be set for years to come.

The organizational strength is good at every position, save right defense. Management is in a great position now to address the last area of weakness.

I actually don’t think Edler has that many years left as a top 4 defenceman. In fact as early as next year he may be better suited to a bottom pairing role.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Honestly this is one of the few prospects we have I don't know much about. Anyone wanna give a quick projection?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Logically, how does a head of amateur scouting help to get you onto an NHL roster? Was Brackett going to convince Green to give him a roster spot?

Judd went from a quality head scout to god of fate after leaving the Canucks

He'll be Steve Tambellini to Quinn Hughes's Paul Coffey.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I was very entertained by people who were panicking about him not signing the past few days yet
somehow they are the calm voice of reason now the he signed
Oh HFboard, never change

 

[StreetHawk]

Judd went from a quality head scout to god of fate after leaving the Canucks

Seems that way. I mean Vey having played for Willie D, that helps a player make a roster when the coach knows you.

Your misrepresentations of each of these sentiments range from slight to so egregious they have almost nothing to do with what was actually said.

The main takeaways are there, but I could see how you have a difficult time reconciling them. That one poster got lambasted for saying Rathbone was coached by Brackett; the Benning Bros showed up and declared it as bullshit, but it was true. Go look for yourself.

Yes he was coached by Brackett
But the speculation by a few posters was that Rathbone would not sign because he had a close relationship with Brackett.
A pure speculation that somehow spiked multiple pages of pointless discussion, only on this board

 

[Zombotron]

He'll be Steve Tambellini to Quinn Hughes's Paul Coffey.

He'll be the Jim Benning to our Paul Reinhart

 

[Breakers]

Honestly this is one of the few prospects we have I don't know much about. Anyone wanna give a quick projection?

Strong Skating, Strong Transition Game, shoot first aggressive, rover type of D-man

Not comparing him to hughes, just saying he is comfortable with having opponents on his hip which is always a nice skill.
He's gonna turn it over, and you have to deal with that, but he'll also probably be the hardest backchecker when that happens.

Harvard was pretty dependent on the PP, and Rathbone was one of the primary puck carriers tasked with zone entries, and he got free reign to kind of go wherever on the PP

 

[krutovsdonut]

something happened and it is excellent news.

can we now kill the previous thread with fire.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Wonderful news. Congrats to Canucks for getting this done.

Welcome aboard, Jack!

 

[Zombotron]

It's already been killed

 

[LordBacon]

It’s official ladies and gents. We got the boner.

 

[Hoghandler]

I actually don’t think Edler has that many years left as a top 4 defenceman. In fact as early as next year he may be better suited to a bottom pairing role.

I think Edlers days as a good PP option have passed, but he looks like he still has the chops to be a 1st unit penalty killer and solid 5 on 5 option. Based on his showing this year, I think you get multiple years out of Eddie as a steady, reliable 2nd pairing dman.

 

[M2Beezy]

Quite good

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Very pleased. Think he was our top D prospect. Still need some more young guys to pan out but this is a great first step. Hoping he makes the team out of camp for the 2020-2021 season.

Never mind

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Finally some good news...

See. I think this is the issue. One poster said, and I quote “it wasn’t positive” and people took that to him/her saying “he would not sign because of a close relationship”. Everyone keeps amping up minor thoughts to extreme arguments.

 

[HockeyNightInAsia]

Welcome Jack! It's exciting times that Canucks fans should embrace!
