[Nucker42]

Believe he’s a top prospect and should have his own thread. Likely to make an impact as early as next year.

Is the speculation that he will sign? If so awesome. Let's get ahead of the news and have a thread before he signs.

Or is there something I'm missing regarding a trade?

Is this really thread worthy?

Dont we have a prospects thread for lesser known guys signing?

 

[Forge]

I was really hoping he wouldn't sign and would want to go east. Another trade that makes sense with the Devils.

On the other hand, it would make me feel better about Harvard products actually signing with the team that drafted them given that we have Reilly Walsh going back to school for his final year.

Boom, best d prospect in college hockey. Canucks left side set for next 10 years.

Happy for the nuck fans, he didn't go somewhere else.

great news for the Canucks

Probably the Canuck's top defensive prospect. Uber talented.

Canuck's probably got lucky that the IVY LEAGUE hockey season got cancelled which otherwise Rathbone might have stayed in the NCAA and then sign as a UFA next season to whatever team he wants. Harvard has a history of players not signing with their drafted teams, Fox, Marino, Kerfoot, Vessey etc...

Rathbone has the talent and skills to legitimately make the team next season.

All the best to Rathbone !

Yes it is.

 

[Didalee Hed]

Yes it is.

He’s one of the true superstars from that abortion of a Calder thread. This was going to happen.

Even here pierce ?

[Canucks LB]

Very big signing for our future D

 

[NoRaise4Brackett]

Excellent news! Very underated prospect, legit top 4 potential. Glad we can move past the worry of him not signing. Might have the biggest point shot among dmen in the entire organization.

Is this some sort of inside joke?

Nice to see some teams benefit from this COVID thing

Well they have a superstar LD in Hughes and now a really good prospect with legit top 4 potential. Hard to hold it against them for being excited. Vancouver hasn’t exactly had a deep list of young star D in their history.

I'm not trying to rain on anyones parade, just wondering if that guy was serious with the "best D prospect in college hockey"?

I thought he came over with brackett

Oh for sure that’s York or Miller.

This is huge for the Canucks. So stoked to get him on board. I know he isn't as highly touted as some of today's signings, but he is a legit high end D prospect who has played far above where he is drafted. I could see him getting NHL time as early as next season.
