Quick little bump and a look at Utunen's new arena for next season, looks breathtaking!

Nice! I can totally see a Nubian Royal Starship coming in for a landing! :)

 

So. Had to comment on this , but wanted to bump Utinen's thread for the purpose of discussion.

 

Seems to me he's not talked about much in here. I got high on him after seeing him in the WJC's. Does anyone in CDC have thoughts of this kid?

I like what I saw. He captained Team Finland and that's gotta mean something. I know he's not big. But in todays NHL, that seems not to be an issue.

do you guys think he'll make the bigs with us?

He's a Canuck killer....there's got to be value in that.

Are you suggesting anything negative about Louie?!? Because I wasn’t!
Better not be bad mouthing our defensive specialist ;) 

Shut up! Louie is one of the six million dollar defenders: Eddie, Schmidt, and Myers. & Louie. You have to bring D to get six mil with the Canucks.

Such a pity that Utonen isn't a righty.  We have such a glut of LHDs.  He is turning out to be Tanev-like in his focus on defense with the odd attacking foray

Have to wonder if some of this left D depth is used to obtain the righty D we hopefully are targeting because of the expansion draft...

Come on, Jim.  Get him signed and he can hone his skills in Abbotsford for a season or two.

I don't know if I would use a roster spot on him to be honest.  

 

If we are trying to ice a competitive team in Abby, then yes I'd keep him.  However if we are looking for future NHL prospects, then I think we can do a bit better even getting free agents out of NCAA.
