2004
Rathje (back) managed just one assist through 18 games in a forgettable, injury-plagued season with the Flyers in 2006-07. Rathje might be back in the NHL in 2007-08. He is no longer really worth fantasy consideration at this point of his career.
Rathje is a good solid defenseman, but he doesn't put up a lot of points. There is no need for him to be drafted in your league.
Huge presence on the Flyers' blueline, but not on your fantasy team. Expect less than 25 points.
