Has anybody else seen Jakob Stukel's highlight reel? I'm shocked he isn't getting more talk around here. The kid looks electric.

I think some people would temper their excitement for a recently drafted 19 year old, but it would be great if he were something of a late bloomer with the drive to make the NHL.
I like JB, and I like how our farm team and the potential for our future, but I wouldn't say we have near the league's best prospect pools. It's somewhere around the middle, but at least it's trending upwards. At the moment, 4 and 5 are a longshot to have an impact on an NHL roster, not something I'd say about some other teams 4/5 ranked prospects.
Not being pessimistic, just cautious. I'm not typically one to place too much in the way of expectations on young players who've yet to play an NHL game yet.
Realistically, if 4 of the players named on this page make the Canucks, and contribute, I'd call it a success. 5 + would be gravy.
