They had 2 seasons with Rattie and he didn't seem to get a lot of traction on top of the time he was up and down with the Blues. I am not saying it's a bad idea but wouldn't you just rather try someone else?
|
Sure, but will someone else at that price point be better? Possibly, maybe not. Could also end up signing another Rieder at more money and get less production. Not saying sign him today, it really just depends what else is out there. Maybe agree to circle back 2nd week of July or something.

I would have qualified Rattie and if it was a choice between them, not qualified Patrick Russell. I'm not saying Rattie is The Answer, but the Oilers signed all of Gambardella, Currie, Malone, and Russell, all guys about the same age and price. I think Rattie is the best of that group, has the ability to move up and down a lineup, and has proven the most of that group. If you are looking for a depth forward who can be in the press box, play anywhere in the lineup in the short-term, or move between AHL and NHL, I think Rattie is the best option. So in that sense, it's a little disappointing that decision.
