Abbotsford Canucks Thread | Prospects Starting to Heat Up

[WTG]

I need to keep better eyes on when the games are, I totally missed they were playing today.

The AHL is not a skill league like the SHL or NHL, so he doesnt have the right C to set him up properly. Lekk will always look better in those leagues.

The AHL has a much skill as the SHL, How many AHLers go over there and lead the league in scoring?

Kudryavtsev is the best defenceman of this group.

Should I be worried for Brisebois, missing two games in a row, given his concussion problems last season? He was getting back into form in his most recent few games.


Vincent took a shot at Kudryavtsev after a whistle for no good reason. He seemed to be looking for trouble.

Glad to see you've become a Kudryavtsev truther.

I've been keen on him right from the first preseason game. In the last 10 days he's been the best defenceman except for perhaps Friedman.

He can't just wait for someone to set him up. He needs to get more involved in a variety of ways. His recent games have not been good enough.

Also - weird how McWard is the guy who gets to QB PP1 and with the goalie pulled when the team has Kudryavtsev and Wolanin on the bench.
Doesn't have the puck poise to be that guy and handed SJ a shorthanded 2 on 1 almost leading to a goal against

Was McWard a primary PP specialist/contributer in college? I honestly don't remember his tool bag concentrating on that aspect of his game.

Nucks' mgmt seems to oddly profile college undrafted guys over their picks a lot without any obvious traits fans can use to relate to why they have such high expectations?

Interesting observation. They really do seem have a jones for Americans and college guys for some unknown reason. McWard has clearly inferior offensive skills to Wolanin, Kudryavtsev and Friedman but they just keep throwing him out there. They clearly love him.
