I'm also sure they had Rice mention a twisted version of Stryker's statement when he explained his plan to Logan as well. I think it was something like "I don't hate mutants, I think they're something to be cured"

And since Rice's father was killed by Logan in Weapon X, there's a possibility that Rice had met Stryker himself.

As for the line from The Wolverine, I'd say this is in many ways a companion piece, if not a direct continuation, of what Mangold established in that movie. Not only is the Yashida sword in Logan's room, but Yukio's prediction about him may have actually been true, at least in a symbolic sense.
