Abbotsford Canucks Thread | Prospects Starting to Heat Up

[Nuckles]

Lekkerimaki is back

 

[Lindgren]

No Mancini.

 

[Jerry the great]

No Mancini.

Was just sent down today and they’re on the road.

Great persistence from Bains for his 2nd of the night

Also wow, that hug from Raty

Raty gave Bains the kind of hug you would give to your grandparents

Lmao noticed that Hug too, true love

I think the guy truly loves the team and being in the organization. He’s constantly liking all the Canucks posts on Instagram.

Silovs and Tolopilo have both fallen under .900 again, after a bad outing each. I'm fed up with them.

The Canucks have a guy in Kalamazoo. Call up Ty Young.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

So, Lekk was back last night? How did he look?

In all fairness to Tolopilo and Silovs, this Abbotsford Canuck blueline is really starting to 'wobble' without Brannstrom, Friedman and now Elias Pettersson II.

In the highlight package last night from Colorado, the Canucks were surrendering a bushel-full of 10-bell chances in every period. They really need to be getting more from AHL-vets like Woo and Wolanin.

Young is having a great year down there based on his stats. 926 sv%, winning record on a last place team. Then again, the echl really sucks so who knows. It'd be nice to see him get a game or 2 for excelling at that level.

Abbotsford plays five times over the Four Nations break. I hope that means five games for Mancini, so we can get a chance to see what the Canucks have there, and it'd be great if Young got another shot at the AHL too.

(The games are on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday.)

I'm surprised by Young. Didn't know what management was thinking signing him so early but I guess there might be something there.

Got better as he went along in his call-ups to Abbotsford. Went from looking shaky initially to not looking bad. His numbers in the ECHL are good, similar to Silovs in his D+3 and Young is six months younger as well. Doing okay for a 5th-round goalie who's only five months beyond his 20th birthday. I left him at #12 again in my prospect rankings but I was quite tempted to jump him ahead of some of the age 23/24 guys that I've placed immediately above him.

Yeah, I'm surprised too.

I didn't really see anything from him in the WHL or the development camps that would indicate he would have any real success hitting pro this year.

it makes sense to hedge your bets and control contract slots if you can, but i think they do it with guys they think might get distracted or drift away from hockey without the carrot and the guidance.

 

[VanJack]

Abbotsford Canucks hosting the San Diego Gulls at the AEC tonight......hopefully the debut of Victor Mancini....will be interested to see what he brings to the lineup.....a lot of size and truculence is my hope.

I don't think that's much of an issue though. There are always European and college UFA options. Plus for the purpose of goaltending depth you can always sign guys like Martin and Patera. There are only so many starts to go around. If things don't work out we can be stuck with an ECHL goalie for 3 years.

maybe they were concerned with this particular kid. it's not a meat market.

Concerned? Not sure what you mean here. It's a seafood market. Lots of fish...
