[PG Canuck]

Love it. He's short but stocky as hell. Skilled as hell too.

 

[canuckslover10]

So whats the scouting report on this guy

 

[Gstank]

Elite skill but extremely under sized. All these Owen Sound picks make me wonder if Nick Suzki was high on their list

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Exactly the type of pick we should be making. Short but stocky and great numbers. Scouting report anyone?

 

[Addison Rae]

good pick

 

[Saturated Fats]

Gadjovich's teammate... Guess we liked the Attack this year?

 

[Hansen]

Right kind of overage pick

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Very good pick !! Elite Talent on this Fin!

Utica will be fun to watch. Palmu definitely has NHL talent.

 

[NoShowWilly]

he is tiny.

Big numbers but short. not so much tiny. 180lbs

 

[Hyack57]

Not a hockey name. Bust.

LOL

[clunk]

These are the type of picks you make late in the draft. The Gunnarsson pick had me worried we would just trash the rest of the draft.

 

[Nuckles]

Polar opposite of our 5th round pick.

Undersized skill guy. Another overager, but I don't mind it considering his production in the OHL this year. He's set to play on TPS in the Liiga next year.

 

[Mr Plow]

Another overager?

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Guy would have been a much higher pick if he was just 2-3 inches taller. I hope, even with his small stature, he can make it. He does seem to be quite stocky and hard to knock off the puck even at his size.

AHL or OHL overage season next year?

EDIT: Or Finland I guess

 

[Hyack57]

5'6"? Geezus

 

[Icebreakers]

NHL.com says hes 5'6?? damn. Looks skilled though.

 

[jeromemorrow]

Very nice!!

 

[NoShowWilly]

see how he performs at training camp. can go straight to the AHL.

 

[NuxFan09]

He's got a contract in Finland for next season and the season after. Wonder if he forgoes that (if he even can).

 

[Pip]

Hopefully ready for the AHL next year

Edit - nvm if he's signed in Finland

 

[Josepho]

I know he's short but the guy is surprisingly difficult to take off the puck.

He needs to improve his acceleration slightly but he's a very clever player. One of my favourite guys to watch in the OHL.

 

[PG Canuck]

Still think someone takes a flyer on Palmu.

I got my wish, and he's on the Canucks to boot!

A bit of an overager so I'm not optimistic with his size. I can see him maybe carving out a career in Utica
