Nope , just been following him closer since the Erie Otters drafted him 3rd overall in the OHL draftNo shade, but are you related to Lockhart by any chance?

Lockhart needs to be signed this offseason or we lose his rights.Lekkerimaki with four primary assists in the same period in the Allsvenskan playoffs; and Lockhart with a hat-trick in an elimination game in the OHL playoffs.
A couple of scoring wingers, albeit a little undersized, but lighting it up in the post-season. Doubt either guy gets signed before the end of next season, though.
I really love Yultron's man crush on Lockhart. Seems like such a random and unexpected prospect to Stan over, but I'm here for it.
I’m hoping he survives June 1 when Lockhart goes unsigned and the team loses his rights.
Going to go the other direction and say NB in 6.Let the Lockhart vs Bloom commence . This is going to be a lot of fun and I cannot believe it’s actually a reality
Bloom finishes off the series with a disappointing 1 point in 7 games
I’m predicting The Petes in 6 and become the eastern conference champions
Raty becoming as good of a player as Bo would be a very big longshot at this point.This question could probably warrant it's own thread eventually but I think it's a little early yet.
What are the odds that Raty ends up having at least equivalent NHL impact as Horvat?
Some parts of Raty's game are very enticing (shot, defensive awareness, size/strength) while some need a lot of work (skating). I remember a time when it was more hope than a guarantee that Horvat would be more than a bottom 6 centre in the NHL.
It's not a great comparison because Raty may end up having lower point totals but being a better all around centre, kinda what a 3rd line centre should be.
Nevertheless, I am just curious to watch what relative impact Raty will have in the NHL compared to Horvat. If favourable, it will change that trade from decent to a huge win.
It’s pretty funny as he probably has less than a 1% chance of playing a game for the Canucks but a little positivity is good once in awhile !I really love Yultron's man crush on Lockhart. Seems like such a random and unexpected prospect to Stan over, but I'm here for it.
I think this is exactly what we should be projecting for him. I'm not ruling out that he could become as prolific as Horvat but, yeah, unlikely. The fact that he's still very young, and is as strong as he is, gives me some hope that he could exceed these expectations.Raty becoming as good of a player as Bo would be a very big longshot at this point.
Bo improved his skating a lot to become the player he ended up being.
It is very rare for a player to be able to improve their skating that much. Possible, but not likely.
But, even if he can only improve his skating a little, his smarts might still allow him to be an effective 3rd line center.

Maybe in jest but probably pretty close
He might turn into the guy Bo was supposed to be… a defensively solid 3C who can step up to 2C when necessary.This question could probably warrant it's own thread eventually but I think it's a little early yet.

It's interesting, Horvat's skating had people slotting him in at the 3C position. There wasn't really anything at the junior level that would project to be solid defensively at the pro level.He might turn into the guy Bo was supposed to be… a defensively solid 3C who can step up to 2C when necessary.
But that skating will have to improve if he’s going to be an NHL’er at all.
Horvat was a better NHL player at age 19 than Raty is an AHL player at age 20.
It was only half a joke as it's probably the odds I would give it. Horvat was/is a high-end 2C for a long time and it's incredibly unlikely Raty ends up there.. even though I'm a big Raty fan.
