I already stated for the record that I doubt PP would ever make it to the NHL but as a Canuck fan I rather see our prospects play and hopefully overcome their struggles than to have some 30yo with zero chance at the big leagues eat up their spots. You cant have prospects in the press box no matter what the league is. If they moved the Utica team to BC they might have been able to get Dave Lowry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hence my “he wasn’t even 19 when we drafted him” comment. Undersized, over aged when we drafted him. Not exactly a premier prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year in Finland will only do him good. He's likely just a victim of a bunch of kids being in Utica. Same with Dahlen. They gotta "pay their dues" while also battling other kids for ice time cause we can't have more than 2 on the ice at any given time I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlutch98 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Palmu is the most underrated prospect in the NHL. This guy has so much skill and I'm sure he'll be an impact player especially the way the game has changed. All about young fast and skilled players and that's what palmu is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokes Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It's good to see Petrus doing well in Finland. I'm glad to see that he can get more minutes in games there. At the end of the day, it's what shows in training camp that really matters, I have a feeling he will end up in the NHL somehow, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question that needs to be answered is does he wish to throw his chnaces in with Utica/Vcr. The kid needs to look after himself and career. Maybe the SEL/KHL might see him get a better chnace as a stepping stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenAlien Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 At this point it may be better to leave Palmu in Europe and hold onto his rights like we did with Rodin. If he has a dominant season we can bring him back for another look; but if he can’t be a top scoring player in Europe he’ll never make it in the NHL. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a nice story if he made it but people need to remind themselves that Palmu is a 5'6" sixth round draft choice. He beat the odds by even getting a NHL contract. The odds of him making the NHL have always been very slim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but........it's completely the fault of the Comets and Canucks staff that he's not in the AHL developing into a top 3 fwd for next season right? Just like we'll probably find out with JD (though he's got a shot) in the next year or two, they were probably never going to be NHL players, let alone impact players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenAlien Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 HPK knocked Palmu's (and Kakko's) TPS out of the first round in five games. Final stats for Palmu: Regular season: 29GP - 4G - 18pts Playoffs: 4GP - 0G - 0pts His rookie year with TPS: Regular season: 59GP - 17G - 36pts Playoffs: 11GP - 4G - 6pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
