Players are measured on their own merits. Rattie is a scorer who does his best work in close to the net. The question scouts will ask is will his skill set translate to the NHL? If a team believes that those skills translate they will invest in him. If they don't, they will stay away from him. I personally don't think his skills translate to the NHL. Just my opinion. Would I take Rattie on and hope I was wrong? Only if that cost was extremely low. As a principle in a trade for Bouwmeester, not a chance. As a swap for another iffy prospect, maybe. I see Rattie in the same light I see Ryan Howse. I'd wait and see how Rattie does in the minors for a couple of seasons before making a final judgement on him.
