Prospect Info: [2024 - 134th] Mikus Vecvanags (G) - HS Riga (LAT)

[Treb]

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.

I believe we get the 4 years, but don't quote me on that.

Maybe it's longer than 2 years post draft. See Sobolev

In Sobolev case, it's because he signed in Russia.

Vecvanags would not get this treatment if he went back to HS Riga after junior.

Confirmed to be 4 years by @Whitesnake

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

Not sure Blainville is happy with Lapointe comments

He’s obviously gonna be pick in the euro draft by L’Armada Wednesday

sad day for them

 

[Halakitlikethat]

I think it’s smart to take a goalie every draft

 

[WeThreeKings]

What happen with Trunev ?

Habs had an arrangement with a certain Q team to draft him in the import draft, then another team who had a coach who coached him in this youth tournament drafted him first thinking they could convince him, and then he never came over.

Don’t think it will happen though, most of the teams already have agreement with other players

you never miss with 4 years. Said that to my wife too when she asked me when I was going to do my part in the house....let's wait 4 years I said....to myself...

 

[Whitesnake]

Guy is quite small no?

 

[Seachd]

Why do Latvians have the weirdest bloody names?

If you’re looking for nicknames, it means “old hawk”.

Weird leak by him pre draft. Other Q teams could easily mess with them now.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Blainville have the 22nd pick in the Import Draft. It takes place next Wednesday.

It would be good to see this guy here.

 

[Adam Michaels]

The CHL Import Draft will be @ 11AM this morning. As Martin Lapointe spoiled, the expectation is Vecvanags will be Blainville's pick. Also key to this year's Import Draft, Russian and Belarussian players are eligible again.

[Whitesnake]

Acadie picked up Vecvanags. You can thank Lapointe for that....idiot....

 

[Adam Michaels]

We were expecting him to be taken by Blainville. He is actually taken by Acadie-Bathurst.

 

[Whitesnake]

I could have seen Vec live. Most of the games. Pissed off.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Martin Lapointe really screwed Blainville-Boisbriand when he announced to the world that he would play there next season... Bathurst takes him 3 spots before the Armada's pick.

 

[Whitesnake]

Asked for a f***ing trade.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Asked for a f***ing trade.

He can't be trade until midseason.

 

[Vachon23]

BLB is piss about Lapointe for sure

 

[WeThreeKings]

Lapointe gonna have to apologize to the Armada now, oof.
