Prospect Info: [2024 - 134th] Mikus Vecvanags (G) - Acadie-Bathurst Titans (QMJHL) - Committed to Maine (NCAA) in 2026



Very good news. After seeing a bunch of BCHL players leave to join the CHL teams that drafted them, I was hoping to see Vecvanags join the Titan. Now that playing in the CHL no longer blocks your NCAA eligibility, I wanted him to play in the QMJHL.

He's committed to play in Maine next year.

I guess Martin Lapointe was right after all 🤣

Right and wrong. Right that he ended up in the Q. Wrong as to the team that would select him in the Import Draft.

AB took them ahead of the team Lapointe said was going to take him. Lapointe shouldn't have said anything. Then he went to the BCHL and started like 4 games. Hopefully now he'll get to develop.
 
Weird that he had to take a 4 month detour to get there, but I'm happy he's in a better developmental league now. I have no idea what the goalie situation looks like in his new team, but I hope he'll get to see a lot more action.
 
Vecvanags looks like a big miss, but if Thorpe can get 30 goals this year, I'd be very happy with that development.

Dreaming of Thorpe with Florian. Imagine trying to handle those boys on a 4th line.
The returns on Vecvanags haven't been wonderful as of yet, but he's still got quite a bit of runway. Let's see how the next 16 months go.

Sure but going to the BCHL, being a back-up there, and then going to the Q to be a back-up there and struggle. Not the best early returns. Didn't even get a look for Latvia.
