I have no interest at all in a "ranking system" that gives the Canucks credit for picking Juolevi but does *not* give teams credit for picking vastly superior (so far) players like Tkachuk or McAvoy.

I thought about opening a "pre-game" thread, but I'll just point out here that, as SC notes above, KHL hockey starts tomorrow. I know that many won't be interested in any of the Russians other than Podkolzin, but I'll enjoy tracking all four.
Manukyan averaged about ten minutes of ice-time per game last season. We'll get a sign as soon as tomorrow as to whether he's moved up in the team hierarchy.
Wasn't in the lineup or listed as a substitute. Most likely still injured from preseason injury.
Looked like a shoulder or arm injry. Was checked into the boards 2 weeks ago. Got up and went to the bench hunched over, holding arm in tight to his body. I don't think it's super serious.That's disappointing. Do you know anything about the injury?

Lol saying we have a bottom 10 prospect pool is just hyperbole and frankly not true.I look at our prospect depth and see a team that ranks in the bottom ten in terms of quality.
The scarcity of even AHL-level talent astounds me, especially considering where we've landed in the standings the past few years.
Yet again, there are people who project players solely on their junior numbers and the facts are many of these players hit a wall once they move into professional hockey against men and teams that are there to win.
You'd think as a supposed scouting savant that Jim Benning would acquire more picks to unearth more gems like Gaudette or Tryamkin, but the guy has shown a propensity to play to his weaknesses rather than his strengths.
Not going to start the whole IQ debate again but sometimes you begin to wonder.
41 seconds of ice-time for Podkolzin in his season opener.
Zhukenov didn't play, as far as I could tell.
Tryamkin was pointless and +1 in 18:44. He was tied for third in ice-time among the D, but, oddly, led in shifts with 35.
Confirmation that Palmu will play in Finland again this upcoming season.

Or it means palmu doesn’t want to try dicking around in Utica again. He knows he is no where near nhl ready and would rather have the full year to play in Finland. If he produces well and shows development, he could just as easily come back next September trying to earn a nhl spot with the knowledge that if he doesn’t at least he’s older/more proven so he should get more rope in the AThat pretty much means he's finished with the team and will play in Europe until his contract runs out and he's released.
Should have drafted Cody GlassPalmu tryamkin and apparently Goldobin said he would go to KHL etc
Start drafting more North Americans.

Not sure what this means.....Palmu was a flyer the Canucks took in the sixth round and therefore a longshot the day he was drafted; Goldy was a Sharks first rounder the Canucks traded for; and Tryamkin was drafted in the third round, and likely would be in the lineup today if Willie hadn't screwed up his development.Palmu tryamkin and apparently Goldobin said he would go to KHL etc

And Pettersson,Hoglander, Podkolzin, Jasek and even the much maligned Juolevi, are good prospects from Europe.
It means others leagues have stepped up now. It’s like in MMA, Bellator is an alternative to the UFC now. So players can go play in Europe and get playing time and make money. Way more reasons for euros to bolt.
Palmu isn't here because of Europe, he isn't here because he sucks.
Also Goldobin has shown a ton of sticktoitiveness to still be here.
