Weird time to be a Canucks fan 2024
D-Pete having his best game so far. Very encouraging for the future.

Agree. Bains got deployed over his head in his call-up stints last season. At some point, he needs to get a chance just to be a safe, reliable 4th-line guy. He doesn't make many big mistakes and is intelligent in his defensive play.
Sherwood really looks like a solid addition.

Kudryavtsev is oddly very stocky and strong. He looks like he has a Martin St Louis build out there

Yeah, it's a bit sad to see. Tracking to be a less physically-gifted Puljujarvi.
Dan Boyle, if we're going to reference that team.

I feel like the vision, playmaking, and skill part of his game really dried up in the KHL. I was really impressed with those qualities in the WJC but how he was developed to be just a skate skate skate full-send checking wrecking ball never inspired much confidence
A lot of kids have shown well despite what happens in the end.
EP2 - makes strides every game but is slow to read where the play is going and gets caught. Some AHL seasoning is in order but he’s had a fine camp.
Lekk - he needs AHL seasoning but I honestly think for him this is a matter of learning the smaller ice surface. I don’t think he’s that far off tbh
Aman - he sure is written on the lineup card. Yep sure is. (Same can be said for Podz on the other side)
Raty - definitely worked on his skating. He should stick.
Hogs - still defensive issues but his motor remains one of the best. But he desperately needs to clean that part of his game up.
Juulsen - well the couple dozen decent game he provided last season are a distant memory. He’s back to AHL fodder Juulsen.
Sasson - safety in case Aman gets claimed and likely one of the first call ups
KK - really nice game. Kid has some nice tools. Excited to see how he develops over the next 18-24 months.
EP2, KK, Willander…nice to see some d-men with legitimate futures in the organization

I remember seeing Martin St Louis in person and immediately noticing how ridiculously massive his legs were.
In before @SopelFanThe3rd turns this post into an innuendo.
