I wonder if this might have unintended consequences regarding Russian pro players?Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2026 10:09 pm Carney has banned Russian and Belarusian players from playing in Canada at the Juniors this year, against the IICH ruling.

There are 3 or 4 golden tickets in the top of the draft class but they carry Russian passports

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Yeah, it's a Russian heavy draft upcoming. Hopefully we can land in the top two for a change and avoid this problem by nabbing DuPont or Zhilkin.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2026 10:36 amWhat about the selection of one with say...a top 3 pick?Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2026 10:16 amI wonder if this might have unintended consequences regarding Russian pro players?Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2026 10:09 pm Carney has banned Russian and Belarusian players from playing in Canada at the Juniors this year, against the IICH ruling.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Am I the only one excited by what this kid can bring? Long way away from seeing if he can play the NHL game but sure is nice to have some exciting prospects.
I thought I could handle a rebuild, but I can't. So I am hanging on to hope.
