Dixon Ward Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Toni scored today for the Pelicans and was listed as playing in the starting pair. Also on the ice to start the game and scoring was Lukas Jasek. Good day for Canucks prospects! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Utunen is #21 on Nucks Misconduct’s top 25 under 25: https://www.nucksmisconduct.com/2021/9/9/22664483/2021-vancouver-canucks-top-25-under-25-21-toni-utunen Of note, this preseason has seen Utunen shift to the right side, which can only help his odds, if he can prove himself a capable RHD option, given the organization being thinner on that side.

Googlie Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I guess for many of our young European prospects, our camp comes at an inconvenient time as their seasons have already started. If they are not signed, with a chance to play in Abbotsford if not making the big team, it's a huge chunk of time out of their schedules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green doesn’t seem to care for using D on their offside, I think because of difficulty getting up the boards on your backhand. This is the best list of NHLers I could find that mostly play opposite side. Courtesy of DoctorBreakfast:1. Nate Schmidt2. Niklas Hjalmarsson3. Ivan Provorov4. Mikhail Sergachev5. Erik Gustafsson6. T.J. Brodie7. Jordie Benn8. Alec Martinez9. Trevor Daley10. Kris Russell It doesn’t compare too well with the list that could be presented of D playing on their natural side.

Googlie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 And now, ofc, we have a dearth of left hand defencemen. We sure could use Fantenberg right about now. ... was a mistake not keeping him - he's thriving in the KHL.... +19 last season and +5 this. Wonder if Utunen will come to camp next year?

Could be someone that we could use down on the farm at least. Hope this kid still has a shot with us in the organization or just another mid-late pick that never materialized. We need young blood on the farm. Maybe Toni can still be an effective defensive defenceman. Or maybe I’m just starving for someone anyone in the pipeline to rise up and be a part of our D corps be it eventually on the big club or depth on the farm.

Hunt is (always has been) a far superior player. Little D who bring no offence have no chance here. They are pretty much a wasted pick. A guy like Rathbone has huge offence. Hughes is a phenom with the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw Hughes was great at the PK. Persson in Kamloops is a bigger guy (6’2 and 200 pounds) and he’s very good defensively. I see him doing really well in Abbotsford next year.
