Re: Canucks Young Guns
There are lots of options for line combinations, but if Pod is not sophomore slumping and starts next season like he ended last, I’d like to see what he could do with Petey and Brock. That could be the top line if Miller is centring another line or is traded?

I always took you as a rear entrance type, no?
Re: Canucks Young Guns
19yr old Danila Klimovich, is an intriguing prospect, 6'2" 205lbs , right shot center, might form the Russian line in the next year or so with Podkolzin and Kuzmenko.
technically Klimovich is Belarusian, but 70.2% of em speak Russian.
Jett Woo and Klimovich need some NHL games under their belt asap.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
According to Faber, Klimovich needs at least another year of seasoning in the AHL to work on his defensive game.
Woo needs to take a step before he is even considered for a call up.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Do you think the new coach will have more emphasis on developing the players? Now I assume we have a new coach but then I’m on a vacation and after water whisky is the second most liquid I have consumed.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 10:35 am According to Faber, Klimovich needs at least another year of seasoning in the AHL to work on his defensive game.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
That's a fair point, but I think he could also be a Bo Horvat type role on the third line - potting 30 goals in a defensive role playing with ok linemates.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 8:01 am
I think he took faceoffs. The guy is an absolute bull on the wall. I’m sure he has the smarts and might be able to play the middle. But I also think he could be a 60-70 point winger that does it all. There’s no reason to shoehorn him into an Artem Chubarov type role on the third line
Re: Canucks Young Guns
No doubt about Klimovich needing another year of seasoning, but I wouldn't be surprised if injuries occur later in the 2022/23 season if he gets a few pro games. Hoping Woo can step up his game, he played with Bones.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 10:35 am According to Faber, Klimovich needs at least another year of seasoning in the AHL to work on his defensive game.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Good news for Jurmo!
19yrs Jurmo, 6'4, 200lbs LHD.Dave Hall, Dobber Prospects:
It looks like Joni Jurmo (#Canucks) has officially made Team Finland for August's WJC.
He looked confident and one of the team's better defenders through the matches I watched.
Jurmo's projectable 6-foot-4 frame and smooth-skating lend itself to covering large swaths of ice and carrying the puck from one zone to the next sometimes effortlessly. His speed makes him one of the best puck-rushers in the Finnish U20 league. He accelerates well when he's already in motion and is a deceptive skater in the neutral zone with crossovers and changes of pace. -EliteProspects

Re: Canucks Young Guns
That's great news. Truscott is part of the U.S. camp, too.
The Canucks need to get Zlodeyev over here, his development is going nowhere, and he still has some upside.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Truscott did make the U.S. WJC team. So a few guys to watch with Truscott, Lekkerimaki, and Jurmo each making it.

I don’t think the 80’s Oilers even had 30 goal scorers playing 3rd line minutes.
