Just trying to gauge how often it happens throughout the league to see if it played a factor in why he went in the 7th round. I figured if most teams don't really pay attention to overagers at the draft, Benning might have just waited knowing he could get him later despite maybe having him ranked above some of our earlier draft picks. From everything I've read on our picks round 3-7, this guy seems to have the most promise. Don't sleep on Candella and Lockwood. But I agree Stukel just looks the most promising.

wshdrvvn Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Stukel may have the highest ceiling other than Juolevi. and I'd say Candella is most likely to find an NHL role of some capacity other than OJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavrohorvat53 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Wow. He skates like the wind. He's so fast on the transition, and seems to only have one speed once he gets the puck and that's full speed ahead. It must be a nightmare defending against him. He has a sweet pair of mitts too, which allows him to use his 2nd best attribute, his vision to read the play and exploit passing lanes and get open in the soft spots on the ice. Jakob has an all around package of tools. He has the separating skill which is his skating and speed and his hands don't let him down at high speeds either. He reads and reacts well to and can make plays quickly in order to exploit gaps. He has very quick first three strides and hits high speeds in 5 or 6 strides and only continues to get faster after that. His pivoting and edge work seems solid as well, and his wider skating stance makes it harder for defenders to knock him down. It wouldn't be far fetched to say that Stukel has high end hockey sense and with his all around set of tools with the right development and refinement of his all around game he could be a very impactful top 6 forward. Baring anymore injuries Stukel has the chance of becoming an elite and potent scorer for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Pleasant surprise for me after watching the YS games, which were very entertaining. Kid has wheels. When does he turn 20, will we have a chance to see him in Utica this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad for us, but it is probably best that he get some time in the O anyway as I guess he has had some injury problems. Might be one of those guys that makes Benning look smart.

wshdrvvn Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Looking forward to his season. Clearly is a guy that just needs to stay healthy and get his fitness level up. The skill and speed is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camel Toe Drag Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I find it hilarious and amazing that almost every goal Stukel scores Is A lights out deke in front of the net at full speed ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Watched some of goals he's scored with the links y'all have sent and I must say he's going be one hell of a player for our franchise. He might need the first season to adjust to NA play in Utica but if he does well he might've worked himself into a bottom 6 spot if not top 6. Promising player alongside Lockwood and Boeser.

Not sure he needs to adjust to NA as he's a BC boy from Surrey and he's played Jr with the Giants and currently the Calgary Hitmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
