Popular Post Tomato Pajamas Posted June 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) RW/LW | 5'7" | 179 lbs Shoots | Left Born | 1998-05-05 Draft | 2017 Round 6 #181 Overall by Vancouver Canucks Canucks 6th round draft pick, and possibly one of the smallest players we've ever drafted. Kid's 5'7", a winger, and weighs in at 179 pounds. A Fin who played in the OHL and put up stellar numbers. As of the 2017-2018 season, Petrus Palmu was chosen as the Liiga rookie of the year! Congrats to Palmers, I've heard he's Utica bound next season but no real source as of yet. Edited May 3, 2018 by Tomato Pajamas 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 He's going to have to play look Guadreau to succeed. Good news is there's potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotJaredMcCann Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Love this pick! He's got a pic of Marty St. Louis in his twitter banner. That shows he believes he can make because its been done before. Welcome Petrus! Edited June 24, 2017 by NotJaredMcCann 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 5'6 to 5'7? Man that's sort. Pulling for him though. How does he compare to Kailer Yamamoto? Especially when they were the same age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Love the pick. People who know me here know I have a weird fascination with Finland, so having more Finns in the prospect pool is always a plus for me. Don't know the kid, but sounds like he has high end offensive potential. I see no reason not to take a flyer in the 6th round on potential, seems like a typical boom or bust late rounder. almost 100 points this year in the OHL, pretty impressive. Welcome aboard Petrus! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely the year to take some flyers in the later rounds. It falls off so sharply after round 3. Definitely excited to see. He might be small but it looks like he's got some crazy skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
