[krutovsdonut]

Hard to believe some of the floor hockey guys here want to trade this guy for jiracek.

don't forget the field hockey guys.

A few years ago the Canucks took a Finn with a late pick, and reports said his grandmother was in the bandy hall of fame, or something like that. I picked him as a dark horse because of the blood lines, and now I can't remember his name.

 

[krutovsdonut]

having a grandmother in the bandy hall of fame is probably the most scandinavian backstory possible.

Palmu?

 

[Lindgren]

Palmu?

I don't think so. Not even that well known.

Open the last page of a thread that has a very distinctive title and focus and being unable to follow the conversation...lol.

Never change Canucks board...(no seriously...I don't always love it but we are a well behaved bunch of odd-ballz and stuff like this just makes me laugh now)

After my floor hockey game last night most of us agreed we should trade Willander for Jiracik.

Solution? Drink less, think bettererish

I think you're thinking of Adrian Elefalk, a Swede who they invited to summer dev camp. Aside from his Bandy star grandmother, his dad was one of Sedins' agents.

​

Yes! His grandmother was Ann Elefalk, who entered the Swedish bandy hall of fame in 2014.

I would never have been able to come up with his name.

He's now an assistant coach with a junior team.

 

[Breakers]

Columbus has moved off their ask for Jiricek

they wanted prospects like willander straight up and couldn't get it

it is now packages
williander was a get out of jail free card for them in a straight up trade

Probably trying to pull of a Reinhart for 15th overall pick ala islanders oilers

Not saying we should entertain it, but the Hronek injury got me thinking--are there any precedents for NHL teams pulling players out of college mid-season?

Nothing really stopping them from signing, but it's fairly rare. Jack Lafontaine left Minnesota mid-season a couple years back due to Carolina having tons of injuries in net throughout the organization. Kyle Okposo is the only other I can really think of - he also left Minnesota mid-season to sign with the Isles back when the program was a bit of a mess there for a minute.

I'm bullish on this kid so I'll say 99%. Lol. He will be a stud.

… sign him this weekend.
