According to the Abbotsford Canucks colorful broadcaster Brandon Astle, "you can fry an egg off the end of Klimovich's stick these days."

I let my AHL Network TV pass lapse, so I only catch the highlights now. So I defer to those who have the TV package on Flow Sports; or attend games in person, but what do you make of Klimovich?

Is he just a kid who's finally figured out how to score in a lesser league like the AHL; or does he have an real NHL potential for the parent Canucks?

I haven't watched as much as I'd like, but he seems like a guy that goes on incredible hot streaks and then falls off a cliff without much warning. If he even had 20% more consistency, I'd think he could have a shot, but until he shows that it's tough to see him as more than a streaky AHL scorer.
 
It’s really really promising to see Romani get his game together and is producing office at a high rate especially with the game on the line these last few weeks .

I was quite worried , but he missed so much time early in the season due too the injury he got but it’s nice to see him finally starting to show his offensive flare again and looking forward to watch the Colts make a deep placeoff push .

I would absolutely sign this guy to an ELC

I'm expecting them to sign him and frankly I wouldn't mind if they moved off Klimovich as he has "European career guy" written all over him.

I would give Klimovich a shot at a bottom 6 role next season , he is finding his scoring touch finally and is still only 22 years old and he simply took a lot longer to develop then I think any of us would have liked .And we really don’t have anything left on the farm in regards to an NHL future except Raty and Kudryavstev TBH

We aren’t expecting him to be like a top 6 forward but if he can provide offence in the bottom 6 on a cheap contract I’m game

I’m excited to see Romani , Alriksson and Mynio on the farm next season ,

Fully expect the moment Willander signs he will be playing in the top 4 after a few practices with the Canucks

Doubt Willander is going to unseat Hronek and Myers? Unless you think they might pair him with Hughes and continue the DPetey Hronek and MPetey Myers pairings which is a possibility i guess. Mancini has looked pretty good also

I feel pretty sure that the Canucks will permit Wilander to burn off one full year of his ELC eligibility this season. So that means he'll have to play some games for the Canucks down the stretch.

So even though they're in a daily struggle just to make the playoffs--they're still going to want to find out where Wilander is at before the end of the season. And throwing him into the breach in the middle of these intense March-April games, will give them a pretty clear idea of where he might slot in next season.

The guy came to us with no real hockey schooling. Has been (and remains) one of our biggest Projects.
Finally, this season, the penny seems to be dropping. I am now cautiously optimistic about him having a NHL career of some sort.
It may be that his ship has sailed in terms of developing a high end hockey IQ... the lack of fundamentals instilled from the start might be insurmountable. But, in the right surroundings and right deployment, he could still be a big body with the ability to score in batches.
Next season, it's going to be all about building on what he has shown this year and most importantly, learning to be consistent.
Giving up on him now, just as he's beginning to show some promise, would be really short-sighted, IMHO.
