Abbotsford Canucks Thread | Prospects Starting to Heat Up

[Jerry the great]

Kudryavstev - my favorite player on this team. So smart all the time and so consistent all the time. Is very good at reading the play and seeing what to do. Skill level is very high. Has good shot but if it ever gets that to the next level could be a good offensive player at any level. Has great stick around the net defensively. Size the only question but he plays like a vet.

How does he look playing his off side?

 

[Grub]

I hope we don't trade Kudryavstev for forward help. His development has been phenomenal.

agree i doubt we get value considering his draft position. He's on a nice trajectory and looked fantastic at camp. The Orlov vibes are real don't sell cheap

 

[Knight53]

Lekkerimaki with a beautiful top shelf snipe. Kid is ridiculously talented.

 

[Lindgren]

DPetey didn't dress! (Joe Arntsen (?) in his place)

Tolopilo is in net. One goal on four shots so far.

Call up Young.

Arntsen noted in Junior for scrapping - think that's about it.

 

[Lindgren]

Joe Arntsen:

21, 6'3". 215 lbs.
He's a call-up from Kalamazoo. Undrafted lefty D. Former captain of the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

ECHL stats in his first pro season:

43: 5/11/16 +5

Perhaps the +5 looks good, what with Kalamazoo being a bad team. His 16 points leads all K-Wings defensemen, but he was never a point producer in the WHL.

Playing on his left side so really can't say much.

 

[Lindgren]

2-1 San Diego mid-way through the second. Tolopilo has faced seven shots.

 

[orcatown]

Arnsten caught badly up ice on that one. Tolo gives up lots of net.

 

[Knight53]

 

[Scumbag Frank]

Thought Arnsten didn't even look like he belonged at the prospects tournament

How the hell is he in the lineup over:
Pettersson
Felton
Brisebois
Hirose
Ahac

 

[Bobby9]

Is Klimovich done?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Is kilmavich done?

If he won't play in the corners, yes. Otherwise, I actually like him as a call-up for Petey in the "so crazy it might just work" ilk.

 

[Lindgren]

Shots in the second: 18-3 for Abbotsford.
Goals: 1-0 for San Diego.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

That second highlight is very impressive. The way he was able to gather speed in neutral zone and have the confidence to try to make that play is a great sign.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

DOC-Petey-Lekk spiritual suck-censored to the HBK line pleaseeeee

 

[VanJack]

Abby Canucks with a lackluster 4-1 loss against the worst team in the Pacific, San Diego.

Some of the guys like Di Guiseppe, Aman and Mancini who were sent down during the Four Nations break, look like they should have been sent out on holidays.

Reasonably strong games from Lekkerimaki Karlsson and Raty at times. And Kudryavtsev continues to impress on the blueline. But that's about it. A slow night for the fans who showed up at the ACC.
