What do you think Vantel? Should this player be back on fans radar? I admit, I wrote him off but his interest in NA hockey seems like quite the coincidence.

It adds some drama to camp next season at the very least. I think it's going to be the most exciting camp possibly ever next season. Going to be so much young competition. Even if only a couple of the rookies make it, it's going to be a lot to talk about.

This summers group of picks, Peterssen, Gaudette, Demko, OJ, Dahlen, Lind, Gado, Jasek, Palmu, and some others... The summer prospect series should be pretty damn decisive for the Canucks.

looks like quite the group of prospects with excellent promise
not expecting much from palmu though

might want to consider lockwood in there as well

Palmu actually had a great season in Finland, i believe he was 2nd to only Vesalainan in 20&U scoring- id say you might wanna reconsider Lockwood actually, two major surgeries, the current one expected to miss 6-9 months...he's 19 and was only having a mediocre season to begin with. thats a long time to be away from the game at that age, huge setback in development.

That's why Gaunce replaced him in the 2020 cup winning line up.

The cockiness of the Jet's caught up with them. Minnesota is a smart team.

I've got 6-2 for the Jet's tonight.

Might be for the Wild.

Ya! Wpg just caught hot dogging thinking they can do whatever.

Liking him a lot. Wonder when we see him with the Comets.

Home ice woke the Wild up.

Jets not playing as rough - or maybe Minny isn't as intimidated

+ everything is going in

Good question. I don't know. An influx of forwards to Utica over the past two years might allow him another season playing against men in Finland.

if they didn't have that stupid (frank)ing bronze medal game???? - OJ and Palmu would've been in Utica a week ago

Jet's at the start were playing extra rough. Minny was smart and was just letting it happen. A couple bad penalties by Wpg and Minny capitalized. Take bad penalties in the playoffs and you are going to lose.

Maybe Palmu turns into Cam Atkinson.

We had a hell of a year we drafted a guy somewhere between Zuccurello and Atkins

Traded for a guy who is the next Foresberg

We drafted the best Swede ever

This is going to be one hell of a team

Maybe Palmu turns into Cam Atkinson.
- manvanfan

haha i don't know about that

he actually had similar numbers as Joel Armia (in his 20yr season in Lilga)- who's not having a bad year as a 3rd liner, hopefully we'll see Palmu in Utica next year

Salo said he's got a lot of work to do defensively to become an nhler but he's a skilled young guy obviously. Potentially a great pick for Benning.

I know some of us have unrealistic expectations but I'm just looking forward to a group of our prospects together in Utica working on building chemistry

I'd compare him to Armia but he's at least a foot shorter.

A lot of these prospects are lucky Canucks are a horrible team and their competition is easy to beat. Most normal years one or two players making the NHL is considered a good draft

Salo is just being unrealistic. that is all.

Lefty is his biggest fan

I don't know what just happened but a linesman just went down and seems to have a knee injury. 48 seconds left in the period in CLB WSH game.

He just slightly caught a players skater with his and down he went hard.
