Everybody likes to talk about Hughes, but the most important player on the Canucks is Tyler Myers
I love your enthusiasm but the last part really to a guy in his last junior season having this stat line?Make that 2 goals on the evening for Vilmer Alriksson !!! Is there anything this kid can’t do

Canuck blueline prospects both score goals in pre-tournament action leading up to the World Jr. Hockey Championships which start on Boxing Day.
Tom Wilander with a goal in an 11-1 beatdown of Germany. Meanwhile, Basile Sansonnens scored in Switzerland's 5-1 win over Latvia.
Like I said I like your enthusiasm but this line was over the top for a guy who probably won't even make the NHL in any meaningful way.Alriksson has taken enormous strides and has progressed in so many ways from skating , physicality , point production , vision , hockey sense etc
Especially from a kid who only had 21 points in 43 games in Swedish jr and it looked like him having any chance at the pros would be considered a long shot .
His ceiling is and has always been Alex Toropchenko and he is well on his way to having a shot at that potential

Sure it would be great if he was the exception to the rule but the rule stills applies.
Agreed. He impressed me when I saw his highlights after he was drafted. He passed the eye test when he was showcased. And he got rave reviews from Tocchet.You gotta have fun , us Canucks fans have suffered for a long time , and a lot of other commenters commented and went along with it and made some pretty funny remarks and I really like the NBA center remark ,
I’m not sure why you mad about this or have reacted the way you have and are being negative about Alriksson.
Toropchenko has found meaningful ways to contribute at the NHL level , what makes you think Alriksson can’t reach that same contribution,
Especially when he will potentially outproduce Toropchenko’s junior point production,
And his size can absolutely contribute meaningfully in the NHL you can’t teach his size
bryan boyle would be nice.Alriksson has taken enormous strides and has progressed in so many ways from skating , physicality , point production , vision , hockey sense etc
