Nice goal but has anyone been watching him play? Would like to hear how his development is coming along beyond the stats.

This was Canuck on Canuck crime.

1 Nuck giveth
1 Nuck taketh

Brutal turnover by Hunter, nice execution by Kirril.

Future D pair partners?

Both are long shots to play any NHL games.

I love the highlites but would really appreciate a scouting report or some other narrative about this player and his development.

Anyone see enough of him to comment?

Was following him and Hunter B all season as they are/were Canuck prospects.

KK is an all situations Dman. He has a lethal outlet pass and skates well. His offence is average however and i wouldnt expect him to be a point producer in the NHL. He has the smarts and tools to be an effective 2-way all situation defender. I compared him all season to someone like Dan Hamhuis.

Measured at 5'11.5" and 203 lbs in the Milstein's camp.

Weird player.

My impression of him when I've watched him is that he's a very vanilla depth prospect - slightly undersized, average skater, reasonably smart with the puck but few dynamic skills - but then he constantly pops up highly on coach rankings for underrated players and defensive defenders. I'm guessing he's a player you appreciate more with more consistent, regular viewings. But I'm still not sold on how his tools will project moving up to the AHL next year.

Probably the most pleasant surprise of Canucks' training camp and preseason. He's got a legitimate chance to become a regular in the NHL. Nice 7th-round pick.

He was never a flashy player in junior, but man, he was rock solid, always in the right position, never got rattled.
