2024 Projections
Headed back to juniors
Ratzlaff will return to WHL Seattle for the upcoming season, the team announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ratzlaff got to see some shots in the preseason, stopping all 20 he faced in Saturday's 6-3 defeat to Columbus. There was little hope the 19-year-old backstop would even sniff NHL action, especially with James Reimer and Devon Levi already competing for the No. 2 job, but at least Ratzlaff was able to test the NHL waters. Barring a rough junior campaign, the Alberta native will likely be offered an entry-level deal at some point this season and could be in contention for a spot with AHL Rochester ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moving toward entry-level contract?
Ratzlaff might be moving in the direction of signing an entry-level contract after joining the Sabres' AHL affiliate in Rochester on Wednesday via an amateur tryout agreement.
ANALYSIS
Ratzlaff was selected by Buffalo with the 141st overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. The 19-year-old posted a 3.33 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 52 contests with WHL Seattle this season. Although Ratzlaff is likely a long way from playing in the NHL, getting some experience in Rochester would be beneficial for his development.
