He's had ups?

playing in the AHL as an 18 year old is almost unheard of.  

 

Look up other 18 year olds in the AHL and their production.  Very short list.

It's unheard of because most players are ineligible. Not because it's some great feat that he's accomplished.

 

Look up the careers of those struggling 18 year olds. I'll gamble that they're very short lived.

Nylander - 32 in 37

Alex Nylander 28 in 65

Puljujarvi 28 in 39

Chytil 31 in 46

 

 

Klimovich 18 in 62

Girgensons 17 in 61

:picard:. Just, just...... :picard:

 

Will Nylander played his 18 year old season in Sweden. Came over for 19 D+2, but that's neither here nor there.

 

More importantly, to me at least, is this:

William Nylander - #8OA

Alex Nylander - #8OA

Jesse Puljujarvi - #4OA

Filip Chytil - #21OA

Zemgus Girgensons- #14OA

And the 9 players younger than Klimovich in the AHL this season:

Fabian Lysell - #21OA

Simon Edvinsson - #6OA

Isak Rosen - #14OA

Chaz Lucius - #18OA

David Jiricek - #6OA

Brad Lambert - #30OA

Filip Mesar - #26OA

Simon Nemec - #2OA

Jiri Kulich - #28OA

 

And that's not even including:

Brandt Clarke - #8OA

Or Shane Wright - #4OA

Because they technically arent AHL eligible and have only played there on "conditioning stints"

 

Are you seriously trying to compare his progress to a group consisting ENTIRELY of 1st round picks, including 5 top 10? The average draft postion of that entire group is 14th OA, that's almost a full 30 picks higher than Klim.

 

Gee, I wonder why they aren't all progressing at the same rate?

If Klimovich becomes a middle six winger would that not be a big win for a second rounder.  Most of the players you have listed are high first rounders pegged to be first line players.

He's on track to be a middle six winger in the AHL one day. Like Alex Nylander. And no. A big win for a second round player is Demko. 

 

This is why this franchise is ass. We don't draft worth shit.

Find me one single player with similar production and age that became an asset.

I'd argue and agree

 

Agree our drafting has been subpar as our last crop of truly good talent came at the exact same time from 2004/2006

Argue that our development has ben a bigger issue as our last truly good developed players came at the exact same time from 2004/2006

 

Since then we've failed to develop any actual players worth mentioning and that's absolutely terrible.

Now do the 1st round picks who completely flamed out too.

 

Draft pedigree and placement goes out the window the second the draft is over.  See any number of redraft threads for reference

Jim Benning and his team went off the board by selecting Klimovich at 41th overall in the second round of the NHL draft 2021. Just searched for the consensus draft rankings for 2021 and found that Klimovich was ranked at 65. Klimovich's six goals in 5 games in the WJC under 18 certainly played a role in selecting him with the 2nd round pick. Not sure if Canucks had a pro or amateur scout in Belarus to watch Klimovich playing.

I find it strange that Canucks come up with a development plan after Klimovich played  a whole season in the AHL. I would have expected that they hand him a development plan  over at his start in north america more than 1 year ago.

Well, drafting him at 41 was a stretch and i am curious how he is going to deal with the adversity he is facing right now.

Well he did play for the Sharks last year and put up okay numbers..

he came out of the gate storming but couldn't preserve that kind of play over a full season. I remember vaguely that he scored consistently in the first 20 games of the season and then completely disappeared.

I don't recognize or see any names in the NHL for the majority of this list. He has the tools and skills but maybe not the in game IQ / awareness yet. Give the kid some time to develop.
