Unlisted (^) prospect Artyom Manukyan's Avangard was shut out 3-0 today in the second game of the KHL finals, so, of course, Manukyan had no points (in 8:10 TOI).

Avangard is down 2-0 in the series.

So Brassards season is done, he was told we would NOT sign him, he had a good playoffs but probably not enough for Canucks to change their minds

You can add Brassard to the list of d-men the Canucks have taken a flyer on in later rounds and then basically walked away from....guys like Olson, Neill, Gunnarson. Candella...etc.

I suppose the only saving grace is that the Canucks have scooped up free agent d-men like Chatfield, Sautner, Eliot, Teves and Rafferty via the free agent route. And for the most part, they look like depth pieces for Utica at least.

But for once instead of wasting later round picks on slow-developing d-men, they should start loading up on smaller, skilled forwards. Seems to me if the basic talent level is there, somebody has to work out.

They've been drafting D-men too late in the draft, just not enough 2/3/4's used on talented D prospects.

Woo is hopefully the start of things to come. Briesy i guess too but not seen as hugely talented, more defensive guy

Actually, since 2014 the Canucks have drafted defensemen in the 2nd/3rd/4th round at a proportionally far higher rate than any other player position. They've used 4 of 11 picks in that time on defensemen. Even if Benning had been smarter and retained all his picks in those rounds the proportion of defensemen drafted would be relatively high.

So our draft "genius" is actually not so good after all.....I am shocked!!!!!

In this case, other draft picks and roster moves excepted, he and his scouting staff appear to have made good decisions. Of those 4 players two (Woo and Rathbone) are still prospects and generally considered to be progressing very well and the other two have played NHL games. In any case, I was responding to the assertion that the team hasn't drafted talented defensemen in the 2nd/3rd/4th rounds, which upon investigation doesn't appear to be true.

Avangard was shut out again today, 2-0. They're down 3-0 in the KHL finals (the Gagarin Cup). Manukyan had 7:00 TOI.

Bloody shame, I had Manukyan and Palmu pencilled into the 2020 playoff roster

Uutta: Pelicans menettää Liigan sensaatiotykin Oliwer Kasken NHL:ään

Sounds like a player that would be a good fit here.

Would be a perfect fit but I have a feeling it will be Dallas Stars that he signs with. They badly need RH defence man and have a good group of Finnish players.

Artyom Manukyan and Avangard are done, as they lost in overtime today, 3-2, making it a sweep in the Gagarin Cup.

Manukyan had no points. Ice times haven't been posted, that I can see.

It'll be interesting to see if Coach Hartley makes his way back to the NHL after taking Avangard to the finals. I'm guessing Manukyan plays another season in the K before there's a chance he tries North America.

Thanks for catching that Billy. Fixed!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Pretty insane run of play for DiPietro, here.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Looks like all the hand wringing about his NHL stint hurting his confidence and de-railing his development turned out to be hogwash. Good for Mikey. Love that kid. He’s gonna be a BEAST for us.
