2023 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Jack Rathbone in 2023. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a two-year, one-way, $1.7 million contract with the Canucks in July of 2022.
Acquired via trade
DPittsburgh Penguins  Minors
October 17, 2023
Rathbone was brought in by the Penguins on Tuesday, along with Karel Plasek, from Vancouver in exchange for Mark Friedman and Ty Glover.
ANALYSIS
Rathbone's acquisition will do little to alter the 23-man roster for Pittsburgh as he likely sits very far down the depth chart even among the players suiting up for the Baby Pens in the AHL. The Boston native has 28 games of NHL experience in his career but almost certainly won't be adding to that total this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Decision should be made on future
DVancouver Canucks  Minors
December 21, 2022
The Canucks should come to a decision on how Rathbone fits into their plans, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
ANALYSIS
Rathbone has an assist in six games with Vancouver while averaging 15:25 of ice time. He hasn't been in the Canucks' lineup since Nov. 9 though, and was reassigned to the AHL on Nov. 28. He's recorded three assists in seven AHL contests in 2022-23. If Rathbone doesn't have a place on Vancouver's defense, then perhaps there's another team that's willing to give him a shot. The Canucks probably wouldn't get much of a return for the 23-year-old on the trade market though.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Last year was a train wreck for the Canucks, but Rathbone was one of the few bright spots. The Harvard product got into eight games late in the year, picking up a goal and three points. A former fourth-round pick in 2017 (95th overall), Rathbone appears to be NHL ready. The question now is where does he fit into the Vancouver lineup moving forward? Rathbone is an offensive defenseman, but the Canucks already have Quinn Hughes to quarterback their power-play, in addition to having acquired Oliver Ekman-Larsson in a trade with Arizona this offseason. Rathbone deserves a full-time spot, but it's hard to see him receiving the ice time needed to make a fantasy impact in 2021-22.
Rathbone finished his Harvard career after two years with 53 points in 61 outings at the collegiate level. He's ready to make the leap to professional hockey, although it remains to be seen if he'll begin with the Canucks or in the minors. Rathbone could have an uphill battle to make the Opening Night roster, as the Canucks are significantly deeper on the left side of their defense, which is Rathbone's preferred side. The fourth-round pick would need to beat Jordie Benn for a job in 2020-21 -- failing that, the 21-year-old could get a year or two of experience with AHL Utica before making an impact at the NHL level.
