I'm sure a few of them are still feeling the results of having the virus. He said, “It took a long time for me to start feeling back to normal again… My body was achy and sore for a few weeks after, but I’m starting to feel more like myself.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Slegr Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) He reminds me of Dave Andreychuk in front of the net. I like how greasy he is, and not afraid to drop the mitts. He’s just what we need. Edited May 9, 2021 by Slegr 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleysteamersmyl Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Could have five NHL players from the 2017 draft. Benning and the scouts are very good. The Vancouver Canucks made eight selections in the 2017 NHL Draft. ... Round 1, 5th overall: C Elias Pettersson. ... Round 2, 33rd overall: RW Kole Lind. ... Round 2, 55th overall: LW Jonah Gadjovich. ... Round 3, 64th overall: G Michael DiPietro. ... Round 4, 95th overall: D Jack Rathbone. ... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) The 2017 draft is shaping up to be one of the best ever for the Canucks. Gadjovich would be icing on the cake if he pans out. Lots of talk of him being a 4th line grinder. I’m thinking he’s gonna be more than that. His game will translate well to the NHL and we could see him on Petey’s wing getting the dirty goals in front of the net and also protecting our star player.

I see him as a bottom six guy who can contribute on the 2nd unit PP. If anything, we need more depth on the PP and he'll be welcomed for that regard. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works so hard, gets in front of the net and he can score. Hornqvist earns his paycheck. Imagine Loui having the drive of Hornqvist. Gadjovic is meaner and will fight. This man earns his paycheck. Gadjovich was a man among boys in Junior Hockey. Will he be leader of men in the NHL? Todd B. light? We will find out in the next 2-3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Rathbone looks great. Lind is playing and not looking bad, but needs to adjust a bit to the higher level of the NHL. It will be interesting to see how Gadjovich works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, Lockwood is joining the team, is in Vancouver now, quarantining. Is supposed to join the team in Vancouver on Saturday when they return. It was pretty crazy listening to broadcasters talking about how empty the Canucks prospect pool is a few games ago. It's not that the pool is empty, it's that they are all in Utica and not easy to access them without them going through quarantine. Looking forward to seeing some more of them play to close out the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more that we're running low on top flight, blue chip guys (they've mostly graduated) and the media/some fans are now translating it to 'crappy prospect pool'. But we're chock a block full of support/depth guys like Gadjovich, Lockwood, Lind, Focht, Karlsson, Costmar, McDonagh etc. And it looks like we should get another decent guy or two this draft. This is what happens when you draft well and the blue chip guys all graduate though... Lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo is having a great season for a AHL rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
