His name doesn't come up on hockeydb

 

[Frank Drebin]

another dart for the goalie dartboard I guess

 

[Garbageyuk]

Hughes and co just throwing darts blindfolded now. Actually, the blindfold is probably too much effort; they’re probably just throwing no-lookers at the board. They were so impressed with themselves after the first round they just mailed it in

 

[Seb]

Bienvenue à Montréal, Mikus!

 

[bleuetbio]

Ehkahnkas!

There's our dark, unknown pick. Didn't feel like a Habs draft until now

 

[Nicko999]

Why a goalie? Weren't the 3 goalies last year not enough?

If you throwing darts might as well throw one for a forward or D not a goalie.

Not surprising, hockeydb is pretty useless for Euros, especially those outside the SHL, Liiga and KHL.

Always use Elite Prospects for Euros.

I don't disagree, but if Riendeau see something there, I trust him.

Plus, he won't be here for a while as we have 4 years to sign him.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He was excellent at the recent u18s. Big with quick feet and really competitive. He didn't give up on plays. He kind of reminded me of a bigger Halak. Like Halak, he needs to work on his rebound control.

He's Euro, so we have his rights for 4 years. We'll know where we're at with Primeau (probably gone), Dobes, Fowler and even Montembeault by the time we need to sign this guy.

Why do Latvians have the weirdest bloody names?

They should be drafting one goalie every draft.

 

[Nicko999]

They should be drafting one goalie every draft.

Well the 3 goalies drafted last year means we are good for the next 3 years lol

 

[Whitesnake]

Let's wait 4 years.

Goalies are such a crap shoot that you take as many in the draft as you can and hope you find magic in one, maybe two. None of the young goalies in our system have established themselves yet so until we have that confidence in them, we need to keep farming them threw the draft.

[le_sean]

Hopefully he can eventually get an offer from a team in a better league

Zemgus Girgensons

 

[Treal]

Juraj Mikus Memorial pick.

Seriously tho, more goalies is a good thing

 

[PavelBrendl]

6'3" and 159 lbs according to EP. Kid makes Bobrovsky look thick.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Who the f*** is Tingus Pingus!?

 

[WeThreeKings]

I always have time for the goalies this regime picks.

Lapointe said in the post-draft that Vecvanags will play in Blainville.

Do we know if he still gets european rights status vs. CHL rights? That's a big deal. 4 years vs 2 to make a decision on a goalie.
