Yes the first part was a joke. However, I do know a 6ft 11 ambo driver and he happens to be a season ticket holder at Rogers Arena
Prospect Info: Petrus Palmu
- Thread starter Zombotron
- Start date
Gotta give props to Benning and putting his confidence in his scouting team. Palmu and Brassard and Dipietro from mid-late rounds last year. I like i like

Why not us?
Am I going to be accused of being a selfish Comets' fan when I suggest he is another player who should definitely be starting this season in Utica?

theres a less than 0% chance he starts with Vancouver, so idk if your fears are really warranted.
The concern is that he goes back to Finland, not that he makes the Canucks.
Nice to see him signed and he should be in the AHL next season. We'll see what happens.

As with most players one (Canuck fans anyway) hopes they have a dominate camp and make the team, but I’m confident the expectation is Palmu starts in Utica.
I think he’ll tear it up

I just watched the prospect showcase, and I thought Palmu played amazing. He's gonna be a star in Utica this year.
I wouldnt put anything on this prospect game... no one was really taking it seriously.
Besides, Palmu is 21. Everyone else is either 18/19 or undrafted.

A bust is in the eyes of the beholder. Can a 5'6" sixth round draft pick be a bust after 6 AHL games? Can a 5'6" sixth round draft pick even be considered a legitimate NHL prospect?

Maybe not but I'm surprised at how this is transpiring after he had a very encouraging season in Finland against men.

From reading the Utica thread, he's got a lot of work to do if he's even going to make it as an AHL'er.
That said, it's early yet. The AHL is a big transition from Liiga, but we really need to see the penny drop for him, at least to some extent, by the mid point of the season. Best case scenario though, he's at least a couple of years away.

Yeah, it's extremely unusual that a guy can produce top-6 numbers in a good European league and then can't find his feet quickly in the AHL.

Looking like the next Cole Cassels, albeit a later round pick used. Looked great up until stepping into the AHL.
Lol! He was drafted in the 6th round. The fact he made an AHL team to begin with is surprising. “Bust” that’s gold. Give the kid 2 seasons in the A before declaring anything. He was always an extreme long shot
