Some interesting quotes from Doug Armstrong seem to conflict with Rattie's time with the NHL club.
Ty Rattie is not a poor hockey player when given a chance. He played 13 games with the Blues this year, netting four goals and two assists, and sporting a shiny (but probably unsustainable over a larger sample size of games played) shooting percentage of 25%. With the Wolves, he had 46 points in 62 games played (17G, 29A).
It's been a common assumption of many Blues fans - and many around these parts in particular - that Rattie will absolutely not get regular playing time with the Blues as long as Ken Hitchcock coaches them.
