CAN
The latter half of Ratzlaff’s WHL career has been a departure from the first half. His first two seasons saw him post lines of 17-2-1 and 25-8-0, with goals against averages of 2.48 and 2.15, extremely respectable numbers. Over the last two seasons, he has sported averages of 3.16 (2024-2025) and 3.33 (2023-2024), with a combined 44-45-5 record. In fairness to Ratzlaff, the team in front of him has taken a big step back since they hoisted the Chynoweth Cup in 2023-2024. Thankfully for Ratzlaff, he can expect to move to the professional ranks and have the opportunity to backstop a stronger squad, showcasing his capabilities.

Development

Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.
Scouting Feed
The Buffalo Sabres signed Ratzlaff to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Ratzlaff returned to Seattle for his third WHL campaign in 2023-2024. His role was broadened with the team due to Thomas Milic’s departure. He consequently logged 52 games played during the regular season. Much of the 2023 Memorial Cup-contending team had departed in the off-season, leaving him to backstop a less fortified, less-experienced group. He logged a save percentage of .905 and a goals-against average of 3.33.
Ratzlaff was selected 141st overall by the Sabres.
Despite sharing the net with top WHL goaltender Thomas Milic, Ratzlaff has made a name for himself this season. In 34 games with the powerhouse Seattle Thunderbirds, Ratzlaff posted a .918 save percentage and 2.15 goals-against average.
