I agree. I think the AHL would be the best for him now. He seems too advanced for the Q and why burden him with learning the French Canadian culture and language as well? Moreover, all being equal, I would want prospects on our AHL team being in the lower mainland.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 12:01 pm ^See, this is a good post by Mick. An opinion that can spur others to post their thoughts on Klimovich about where they think he should play.
That's what it should be like outside of this thread. Throw in some humour and personality and it's all good.
From the small sample size I've seen, he obviously has a lot to work on, but I think going back to Europe or juniors especially the QHL might be a wasted year for him. It looks like he is already physically mature enough to handle pro hockey at the AHL level.

that the Canucks and CAA made progress this morning in Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes talks.
Don’t call it a breakthrough (yet), but there’s optimism that Vancouver and their two cornerstone players are inching toward a resolution at last.

Bah, I don't believe this. I won't until I get some validation in the form of a Tom Cook tweet.

Sportsnet's official announcement; Hughes and Pettersson;
https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ca ... nn-hughes/
https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ca ... nn-hughes/
The Vancouver Canucks agreed to new contracts with the team's two most important players on Friday: Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes.
Pettersson's new contract is for three years with a $7.35 million average annual value. Hughes agreed to a six-year deal and a $7.85 million AAV.
Pettersson, 22, is a dynamic offensive talent and the face of the Canucks as the team's No. 1 centre. The 2019 Calder Trophy winner began his career with back-to-back 66-point campaigns before a wrist injury limited him to only 21 points in 26 games last season.
A fixture on the Canucks' power play ever since his debut season, Hughes holds the Canucks' all-time rookie record for points scored on the man-advantage -- a presence he figures to continue having for the club moving forward now that a new deal for his services is in place.

Craig Button on Donnie & Dhali:
- Starts around 2:30 mark
- Button likes Rathbone, dynamic player and difference maker.
- Thinks Olaf is a depth player/6-7th D-man, dime a dozen guy.
- Likes Podz and Lockwood, good depth up front.
- Thinks Klimovich should just go to junior, let him dominate there.

Even positive reaction from "the other " side of the nation.
On the successful signings of Pettersson and Hughes whilst on a limited budget.

There's an airport hanger south of you with a 69 something in it to take up some of your time...
