Passive defending aside, it still does take offensive talent to take advantage of the double screen by the Austrians, plus one of his guys in front. Alternatively, if Miller somehow gets moved (I hope he does) we could use a right-handed shot patrolling the left wall so that he can shoot on his forehand. Hopefully Lekkerimaki could realize his potential and become the team's PP QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a chance, but even if I would admit that some fans (like myself) are maybe too slow to acknowledge when a player won't turn out, he's just 18, and even the most pessimistic of fans would admit that it's too early to completely write him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we'll bring him over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think how he rebounds the rest of year and how he starts next year after a full healthy off season will be when we have a better read on things its best to be optimistic though rn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should probably at least prove he can hang in Sweden's second tier before we plunk him in the NHL 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 5 hours ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: nice to see that NHL caliber shot on display. He still has a lot of work and personal growth to do before playing in the NHL but its clear why we drafted him. There is no guarantee with this prospect but if he puts it all together the payoff could be huge considering where he was drafted. Hope this tournament helps his confidence and overall experience and he is able to translate more success in the SEL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't hang there then. Maybe a swedish Ringette league? Edited December 27, 2022 by hammertime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many prospects have the Canucks rushed into the NHL and ruined their development? To many to count. The fact that Hogs-Podz and Klim are down in Abby suggests that this management group wants to actually develop their players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yup, time to throw in the towel... Kid had some great looks but didn't register a point. We can be certain at this point in time that he will be a bust! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 if he can dominate in the SEL then he will be ready to bring over and get some games in Abbotsford to condition him for NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
