Looking pretty good so far. I'll see him live during Christmas holidays. Will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Palmu for Andrew Peeke from Columbus? Right Handed D. 6'3" 205 lbs. 11 points in 17 games in the AHL. Carrying on the tradition of US College hockey players, and salvaging our 2016 draft pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Columbus was willing to make that trade then absolutely. But, I think we'd need to add a pick or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe-max Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Update: Palmu currently sits at 21 points in 19 matches, 8 goals, 3 game winners, +16, averages over 17 minutes a game. His team JYP is in third place and looks like a lock to make the playoffs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Palmu is one of our best performing prospects at the moment. Is AHL next season out of the question? Would be nice to see him prove himself in Utica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as his season wraps up in Finland, I believe the intention is to have him back there. I think he was sent to Finland due to overcrowding in Utica. I think they felt his development would be better served over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't initially snapped up at the beginning of this season by any club. He ...HE … did find a home himself. I hope he does get an invite to return but I'm not sure we should hold our breath.

HockeyHarry Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Glad our Finish Fire hydrant is putting up points and getting ice time.....I always have liked Palmu. Hope he keeps developing. im guilty of bashing Utica but I wasn’t there and it makes sense that Palmu needs ice time that the Finish league is providing. Alls good I wouldn’t think any bridges are burnt....I don’t think Canucks have a Babcock type mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe-max Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 After playing three games with the national team (1 assist) Palmu is back in Liiga action. In his first game he had an assist, today saw 1st place Kärpät (featuring Jesse Puljujärvi and Jussi Jokinen) play 3rd place JYP (with Palmu and Julius Honka). Good game, JYP won 5:2. Palmu scored a nice goal, added an assist and set up three more grade A chances. Looked really strong on and off the puck, quick on his feet and very dangerous. Played on the 2nd line, 2nd PP unit and also 2nd shorthanded unit. Went for the open net and missed it for an icing call, otherwise a strong game. Puljujärvi was disappointing. His strenghth and skill are visible, but he is playing too fancy and doesn't defend hard (was -2 in this game). He also got 2+10 for elbowing. Palmu looked more like a player who is trying to force his way back into North America. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I thought Dahlen got regular 1st unit PP time. BTW, I have no bone to pick with you about Dahlen. He seems happy playing back in Timra lighting it up. I wish things had worked out better for him and the Canucks. But, I don't get why you're here ceaselessly pumping the tires of every swedish player in the organization, while relentlessly ripping the team. It's not as if the Canucks have a spotty track record when it comes Swedish players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a balanced opinion and it hasn't been that with Dahlen and Loui. Like here with Palmu, or Tryamkin if you like, they left the otganisation due to reasons we don't know much about. Dahlen gets traded and hunted down. Why didn't Benning just put Dahlen on hold in Timrå til he matured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have muddled & squandered every opportunity he could. I mean, Palmu never demanded a trade either. For that matter, neither did Tryamkin. While I have issues with the way Tryamkin left, he never actually demanded to be traded from the organization, and he could still theoretically play for us some time down the line. And Palmu never got meaningful ice time in Utica, so he made the decision to go to Finland and get some meaningful minutes, which is understandable. And again, never asked for a trade and still has every indication of wanting to make the Canucks down the line. Dahlen, by contrast, demanded a trade, despite getting meaningful minutes in Utica, because he thought he was too good for the AHL, and when he got his trade and San Jose also didn't feel he was NHL ready, he packed his $&!# and left. Slightly different situations. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you find somewhere that Dahlen himself say that? The things I read it talks about more of an agreement with Benning and the agent. 7 hours ago, Nuxfanabroad said: Maybe the kid's dumb as a farm animal?

But, I just compared situations with Palmu as they are similar. If you want to talk about Dahlen only he got his alumnithread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for Dahlen playing in a second tier league was a step back and didn’t try to stick it out in North America. He had some promising qualities but didn’t seem to want to put his head down and go to work, instead he wanted to fast track himself and fell flat on his face and went back to a place where he was worshipped.
