Says he applies himself on-ice, & with his studies. Clarkie gets a true student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Always a good idea to pick up a goalie in the player rounds. Keeps a franchise from becoming a goalie graveyard like we were for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70seven Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) This is a Clarke scout…. Can’t say he’s given me any reason to doubt his opinion. Also average development time for goalies is 5 years… which is when Demmer expires. Now is the right time to draft goalies.

Popular Post Mackcanuck Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Fantastic interview with Goalie whisperer Ian Clark on what he thinks of Aku Koskenvuo Do yourself a favour and read this full article! ‘We can teach technique in a weekend’: Ian Clark on why the Canucks are so high on prospect Aku Koskenvuo https://canucksarmy.com/2021/07/25/teach-technique-weekend-ian-clark-canucks-high-aku-koskenvuo/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter “My philosophy when it comes to a goalie’s order of assets is eyes are number one, feet are number two, and hands are number three,” said Clark. “Those are your top three assets. But for me, there are all kinds of things that I think Aku can add to his game structurally, and those are all things that we excel in from the standpoint of mentorship, and he will get all those things.” The fact that the on-ice results haven’t been there for Koskenvuo yet doesn’t deter Clark. In fact, it actually entices him even more. “I actually like goalies that have structural imperfections because it forces them at a young age to develop the instinctive side of the game. If a goalie is very highly programmed, early on in their career, they almost are limited in their exposure to instinctive moments.” “I characterize these goalies that have maybe some structural things that they need to improve as wild horses,” added Clark. “They have all these incredible intangible assets that are geared to the goaltending position if you’re looking at natural athletic ability. I’m not talking about his trained athletic ability, I’m talking about his natural athletic abilities. He is a 10 out of 10. Whether that’s his anatomical size, whether that’s his ability to lengthen — his elasticity — all of this stuff is a 10 out of 10, dimensional.” Edited July 25, 2021 by Mackcanuck 6 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Chris Faber’s prospects update: Quote Aku Koskenvuo, 2021 5th Round Pick It will be another year of U20 hockey for goaltending prospect Aku Koskenvuo, who can’t play pro hockey because of the NCAA’s eligibility rules. He told CanucksArmy that his team has been training for about two weeks now. Koskenvuo will be the first Finnish player to play for Harvard when he begins his 2022-23 season. For now, he will be back with his U20 team for another year and will get a bunch of starts once his season begins in the coming months. https://canucksarmy.com/2021/08/10/what-hearing-canucks-prospects-fabers-august-update/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
