Defenceman Jack Rathbone has only played two games in the National Hockey League, but he’s quickly showing signs that he could become a fan favourite on the Vancouver Canucks.
A blueliner with offensive capabilities is something that always catches the eye of the viewer, and with Rathbone, it’s no different. He’s got an up-tempo style to his game that excites the average fan, he brings a ton of energy and he mixes it in with excellent skating abilities — very similar to how Quinn Hughes plays the game.
