Prospect Info: The 2024-2025 Prospect Thread: Part 1: Skate or Die!

[ManVanFan]

Different post draft this year as juniors are in full swing and the Canucks had 3 picks in the top 90 previous year vs none in this past draft. Willander, Brzustewicz and Mynio all started pretty strong. Some excitement was building.

Fernstrom in tough in the SHL (at least he's getting regular time there)
Patterson hasn't found his feet yet after his early 2 game suspension.
Romani's injury.
Alcos and the Swiss kid I'm not gonna be able to spell his name for a while. Have the long road again. San son nens I think I can remember that.

Hopefully someone starts to break out.

Willander just ripped one late in the game!

Guy has had an outstanding game.

the big 10 is a much better conference than hockey east. hockey east is bu, bc and then i guess mass and maine have been okay in living memory

Hockey East currently has the two top ranked teams in the country and seven of the top twenty*. It is decidedly not weak.

* rankings as of 7:50 p.m. Pacific time Oct 18/24 at DI Men's Ice Hockey Rankings - PairWise | NCAA.com

Wish they drafted someone going to UND. Such a good program and a fun team. NHL production, top class fans, better facilities than some NHL teams.

Canucks Army giving D-Petey solid marks for his work in Abbotsford so far. He's still only 20, but starting to get some important minutes in Abbotsford.

Coaches seem to be trusting him in all situations. A year or two in Abby, and I could see this guy making it as an everyday d-man on the Vancouver blueline.
