More like the better version of Petteri Noelkalainen for the Islanders hopefully

Isles always take the player who drops, there is a reason why all the GMs passed on a player who was at one time, top 10 talent, some GMs twice.

Oh yeah? Go look at their draft from last year and see if you see any "drops" in that draft class.
 
He really needs to improve his skating and balance.
When you are slow, have bad balance and tunnel vision, it's not a little thing.
I wouldn't get my hopes up, but hopefully he gets better

Skating is the most teachable thing in hockey. This is great news.

And yet so many players suffer because of it. Like, hey, you're good enough to be drafted, maybe work on skating through your teen years. I just never understood how these players get all the way to the draft and you hear how skating is a major weakness.

I actually thought Montreal was going to take him with their 1st round pick...better character then Maillhoux...better chance at turning pro...imo Raty is what Montreal needs...instead Montreal went out of their way to have a terrible draft

Tavares rookie season he was a horrendous skater. No balance and was constantly falling down. He worked his ass off with Dawn Braide and by year three he was a decent skater. It’s not impossible all.

I think with Raty it's more than just skating. It's the skating and lack of hockey sense combination that dropped him.

Whether his tunnel vision and lack of hockey sense is truly an issue or just a set of bad habits that he needs to grow out of remains to be seen.

It seems like his role with Karpat did not put him in a position to succeed. His tunnel vision could be a result of trying to do to much out there in his limited minutes. I’m sure this coming season when he’s used to his strengths we’ll see a completely different player.
 
Lou Lam with the steal of the draft. Fully expect Raty to on the Isles in 2023, and helping them win even more. Genius GM.

It's not just last year with Karpat, go back a couple of years to his U20s and U18s. Scouts look at more than just a single season or event to formulate an opinion on a player.

thats fair. Tavares was a really elite thinker on the ice. Raty is going to need to work on some things. Hopefully we can help him in those areas and develop him into a player.

He will be a solid power forward. Probably 2C/3C. He can be 1C too in the best(unlikely) case.

Both of Räty brothers probably had covid last fall. It took too long for Aatu to recover. That's why he was not chosen for wjc and that's also one of the reasons he fell so much on rankings.

NYI got him so cheap, and yesterdays match against sweden showed to me that he will probably be the steal of this draft.
