dpn1 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 After watching Palmu last year it seemed to me he was not fast enough and not strong enough. I wish him all the best in Utica but he is a long shot to play 100 games in the AHL let alone 100 games in the NHL. He is a good prospect and I hope he proves me wrong but that will have to wait so we can see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a team interested or a contract back in EU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was his plan to return to the AHL after the Google translate, but I guess not yet. He's under contract here. I think he has no choice but to come here unless we loan him. He could mutually terminate his contract and play elsewhere of his choice, but then he's giving up NHL contract money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would say, that NHL camp a then they decide. However, my feeling is, that second departure to Europe wouldn't be seen too positively by Canucks.. Had a good summer, without any injuries and he has been imporving quickness and speed. Canucks loaned him out. Palmu may have requested it, but it was ultimately the Canucks' decision to let him go. If they didn't like the idea, they could've requested that he mutually agree to terminate the contract so he could choose where he would want to play and save ourselves a contract spot. I highly doubt there are any bad feelings here and was simply a developmental choice. Hope to see him back and ready to compete. Him and Gadj need to rekindle that friendship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 He really should have stayed there last year. If he's ever going to be an NHL player (which was always a long shot), he was always going to need a few years of development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just mutually agree to terminate the contract though? I think he's still signed for another year too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either Palmu doesn't want to give up that sweet ELC money or perhaps the Canucks actually view this as a development plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UticaHockey Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 If Palmu wore out his welcome in Finland now can we still blame Cull? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is quite the dilemma as he appeared to be doing well in Finland. I think he’s a prospect worth keeping for another 1-2 years but maybe he comes back to NA.

Why would Utica want him back? (Just to clarify this is SARCASM) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
