Popular Post Gaudette Celly Posted April 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2018 Canucks have clearly been very impressed. Would have thought they'd prefer to keep him over there the full two years, but perhaps there are other things at play such as ELC status viz-a-viz his age. He would likely start in Utica regardless, so roster considerations there have to be a factor, considering minimally Gadjovich and Lind are coming in, although maybe they have Dahlen in heavy-lead pencil as making the Canucks out of camp. He's physically mature, so maybe they feel he's accustomed well enough to the pro game that he'd be better-off here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his being smaller is more of an advantage on the smaller ice, than on the bigger Euro sheets. He's a tough little nut too. He's going to be in Utica next season, and he will do really well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCanuck Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Just another reason to follow Utica even more closely next year. Be fun to see what he can do on a smaller ice surface.

Talks have started to get Palmu out of his contract with TPS in Finland to sign with the #Canucks. I’d imagine the talks are fairly straightforward. Palmu would seem to be in the same situation as Jašek (signed the current deal with an IIHF member league after he was drafted by an NHL team). So if he signs an NHL ELC, the TPS contract is likely automatically terminated per the transfer agreement. Maybe more complicated if they want him on an AHL only deal, but sounds like this will be an NHL ELC, which should be as simple as a predetermined transfer fee (either $240K or $325K).

Thought they'd have him develop another year in Finland and then bring him over but this sure would make Utica deeper next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 It looks like he's ready for the AHL in my opinion. Had a good year in Finland learning the pro game, and getting good opportunity. Now he can come back to NA and help the Comets dominate. Be nice to see him and Gadjovich reunited on a line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Palmu nominated for Rookie of the Year in Liiga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Juolevi might have made the top-3 nominees if Palmu hadn't been there? OJ was the second leading rookie D scorer in the regular season and the top scoring rookie (all skaters) in the playoffs. Have to imagine he'd have gotten some consideration. But pretty rare to nominate two rookies from the same team (let alone two that Canucks draft picks). EDIT: And of course, congrats to Palmu. Well deserved nomination and hopefully he wins.

This kids got all the talent in the world and could be something really special here. It would be really good for his development to get him back onto the smaller ice surface against pros in the "A". Could see him panning out as a left winger on Horvat's line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
