Why are so many against trading for Rattie?

I realize he's not a blue chip prospect, but he'd probably be the 3rd best prospect in our organization.

It's not about junior chemistry, it's that he's a pretty good player. Back to back 110+ point seasons in the WHL. He has a very good shot, and would be the only RW prospect this organization has.

I don't see the Blues giving up Schwartz, but Rattie likely won't get a look in the NHL for a long time with them. He is expendable. He is acquirable.

1st + Rattie isn't a terrible starting point for Bouwmeester. Plus I like the Airdrie connection.
