I really want to see Grabner in a Nucks' uniform in a couple of years

i wanna see him in one now.

Wait until the end of his season and we could very likely see him in one.

really :shock: cool. I just wanted him to bulk up a bit before entering the league

Well we can call him up for the playoffs once his season is done since he is under contract.

nuck yeah!

Hockeys Future: Top Russian Prospects

5. Kirill Koltsov, D (Vancouver Canucks)

Widely recognized as the most offensively gifted blue liner in Russian hockey, Koltsov has continued to play very well in the Super League. A quick skater with great puckhandling skills and a very dangerous wrist shot, Koltsov has been a serious scoring threat against any team. With that said, however, he also has had a number of his defensive lapses. In the Super League the young defenseman has been more effective and these lapses have been rarer, despite his constant involvement on offense. On the national team, however, Koltsov's periodic over involvement on the offensive end of the ice have cost the Russian team dearly at the LG Sweden Games. Overall, Koltsov has continued to develop well and has actually become more effective at both ends of the ice. He is an NHL-caliber blue liner, but will have to learn to play his position or play with forwards who will effectively compensate for him.

we got a good future

That's what I wanted to hear. The rest of the analysis has been said many times before. I'd hate to see him come over and struggle.

1. The Jannik Hansen interview will not be available to anyone, if you want it you can read Part 1 on CDC, ill post the full typed out interview later

Meaning the audio will not be available? I'm assuming this isn't a case of you not being willing to share but rather restrictions put upon by CDC?

Not by CDC, but in respect towards the interviewer

Edmonton's Grebeshkov got #2. He has 1/3 of the points, but I guess he's more polished defensively.

Shirokov got honorable mention.

Schiender, Bourdon and Grabner can all play for the Moose in 2007-2008, correct?

That would be cool to see!

correct...Grabner and Bourdon can join the Moose/Canucks when their playoffs are over this season though.

Next years moose will feature a fair number of Canucks prospects,

Grabner
Bourdon
Rahimi
Raymond
Simek
Shirokov(pending contract)
Jaffary(pending contract)
Ellis-Plante

and possibly Schnieder if he decides to turn pro

Raymond, Simek and Schnieder don't have contracts at the moment.

They are guaranteed to get contracts though, I wrote down Shirokov and Jaffary as pending contracts because Shirokov may not make the jump to NA and Jaffary is on the moose but was never drafted by the Canucks.

Everyone else is basically a shoe-in for contracts since they are Canucks premier prospects, however, Schnieder may not sign and take the free agency route because of Luongo so it will be interesting to see how that unfolds.

Schneider will be offered a contract, but that doesn't mean Schneider will accept it. If Nonis doesn't sign him after a certain deadline date in 2008, he'll be a UFA. He definately can't "low ball" him.
