Popular Post flickyoursedin Posted September 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2021 I hated when the team kept Virtanen up just to let him play 6 minutes on the 4th line every 3rd game. These kids that we want to develop need to be playing 17+ minutes a night on a top 6 and top PP. Klim isn’t getting that here so send him to the AHL I’d almost say if he can’t get that there then send him to the Q. Might be an unpopular opinion but I’d rather he be a superstar in that league really building up his offensive confidence and being tired from being leaned on to be the guy in every situation. Rather this kid get loads of playing time than having him play 10 or less minutes a night at 18 years old. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Jake’s character, or obvious lack there of, it wouldn’t matter where he played. He would still be a dough head. Klim will develop wherever he plays. He’s of high character. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just as excited about Klim’s potential as the next guy but sometimes coaches like to stick with their vets. It’s what they know and who has played in the league before in these situations. If there’s a chance he isn’t in the top 6 which I would think there could be a scenario. A coach might put him behind other wingers like Petan, Gadjovich, Lockwood, Di Guiseppe and maybe even Chiasson if we sign him to a 2way deal.

Couldn't hurt Klim to learn to play without the puck in a structured middle six role in Abbotsford. He's going to develop because he has high character.

Hairy Kneel Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 If he lights it up in Abby then we can bring him up for the playoffs. Keep his rookie status for next year. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see people saying have him stick with the NHL for a stint and scratch my head. That’s essentially saying waive Gadjovich and or MaCEwen just to give Klim a sheltered look then hope your guy didn’t get claimed and call him back up.

Captain Canuck #12 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 This is the same Craig Button who didn't include Podkolzin in his list of the top 50 NHL prospects just a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PinskCanuck Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 Hi guys, new to forum here. I am from Danila home town and my English not so good. I don't think Danila play in Quebec. Belarus hockey federation don't want young players in junior league in Canada/America. They want back in Belarus (KHL or Belarus league). They refuse transfer ticket if player assigned to junior league in North America. I think Danila stay in AHL. 2 3 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I like Button, but having seen Dan with my own eyes in training camp I think he should be in the AHL. Close to Van and it’s coaches, his buddies Podz and Hogs, and he will be in a much better environment to learn English. Plus, he’s already shown he can play against men no problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd like to see him in a position where he can really really suceed IMO. He ain't going to get a lot of English in Northern Quebec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ain't going to get a lot of English in Northern Quebec Apparently the town he would be playing in has close to the lowest percentage of English speakers in all of Quebec. Nope, keep the kid here. I’m telling you this..if one had watched training camp in person, and you didn’t know who Podkolzin or Klimovich was you probably would have thought that Klimovich was a #10 overall pick. He probably had a stronger camp overall than Podz did, especially considering his young age and draft position. He opened a lot of eyes. I’m prepared to be wrong, but I don’t think the AHL will be too much for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) There was posted somewhere that Klimovich had minor injury. Will try to find the source. Edited October 5, 2021 by Stierlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they have had enough of a chance to see what he can do due to him having a minor injury and not in any games lately. TG mentioned that during one of the questions asked iirc.
