Maybe about Klimchuk being traded in the WHL?

Yup you are right they just said

My thoughts as well. They probably were talking about Klimchuk's rights being traded to either Medicine Hat or Brandon.

There are reports going around on Twitter that John Paddock will address the media at 11:15am (Regina time). Sounds like a deal to Medicine Hat was initally reported but Brandon is looking more likely.

 

[CraigsList]

I think he is officially in Brandon. Reports that this deal was done a while ago.

 

[bozybo]

You boyz think klimmer will pan out?

 

[DCDM]

Womp. I'm going to the game vs Regina this month and was looking forward to seeing him play.

He'll be a decent depth guy, but nothing special. He brings size, Oilers need that. Hopefully the Oilers will use this pick to upgrade their defense.

Oh, I misread him, thought he typed khammer.

I'm on the fence with Klimchuk. Smart player, but from what I've seen of him, he's nothing that special. I think he'll end up being a decent 3rd liner. I do hope we eventually see him with Sven though, as I think Klimchuk would adjust to the RW fine, and I think they'd do really well together.

 

[Nordberg]

Good for him to go to Brandon. They are a great team. Though I'm sure he would have also liked to go to Medicine Hat, closer to home and would've gotten out of MB.

Would be cool if he went deep in the playoffs in his last junior season. Very interested to see him in the AHL next year, I believe his offense will translate a lot better than his numbers this year might indicate.

 

[Taranis]

Going to be an interesting battle in the WHL this year with the Rockets really gearing up this year.

They could have. They didn't.

Not that they needed to though. Obviously I would be a very VERY happy person if they did.

I really hope we see a Brandon vs Kelowna finals.

Same. I'd wouldn't mind making the trip up to Kelowna to watch that.

Klimchuk is so good. Future 1st liner

I don't understand why Klimchuk gets so little hype on here when guys like Poirier are drooled over and considered can't miss.

Because he doesn't have eye-popping numbers and this is the second season post-draft for him. I'm very high on him though. He scores clutch goals like nobody's business and is solid in every area of the game

When he returned from injury he was put with a couple players that were 16/17 years old and put into his off wing. Despite that he was still over a point per game.

Because Poirier has shown that he can continue to put up decent number in the next level (AHL)?

Klimchuk got cut from the WJC and this is his last year of junior so he supposes to dominate but he is not.
