At 19, Utunen is going to return to Tappara for probably the last time. If all goes well and he has a good season there along with a solid 2020 World Junior Championship, then he will likely come over to North America and the Canucks might have a tough decision to make at that time. Whether or not to place him in the AHL with Utica to start or to see if he’s ready to make the team out of camp. The good thing for Utunen is there will be an opportunity at the position if he is ready
Between Podkozlin, Hoglander, Focht and Silovs fuck did Benning dial it at the draft once again, there’s no stopping him. Everyone world wide is was raving about Podkozlin and Hoglanders play at the 4 Nations
“Tyler Myers is my guy... I was taking to Scotty Bowman last night and he was bringing up his name, and saying he’s a big guy and big guy need big minutes to play, he is playing great for ya… and I agree with him… He’s been exceptional” - Bruce Boudreau

The Canucks have another restricted free agent that gets much less publicity, but still could be an important piece. Nikolay Goldobin hasn’t been able to find his way in the NHL just yet, but Dhaliwal reports that there has been “positive dialogue” towards a new contract. The 23-year old Goldobin had 27 points in 63 games last season and showed flashes of the offensive ability that made him the 27th overall pick in 2014, but he needs to find more consistency in order to really be an impact player for the Canucks moving forward.
Speaking of high draft picks that haven’t quite found their way, the Canucks still have high hopes for defenseman Olli Juolevi as he continues to rehab a knee injury. Juolevi may not participate much in the upcoming prospects camp according to Ben Kuzma of The Province, who spoke with Canucks GM Jim Benning. Benning explained that the team wouldn’t “throw [Juolevi] into the fire” as they try to avoid any setbacks and have him ready for the start of the season. Juolevi underwent knee surgery last December and still has not made his NHL debut despite being the fifth overall pick in 2016.
Damn that'll be something to look forward to later this season
