Prospect Info: Petrus Palmu

[mossey3535]

Too early to count him out, he’s been counted out his entire career (too small) and still found a way. Johnson said the Canucks really believe in this kid and that is the reason they want him in Finland as Utica can only focus on developing a certain number of youngsters adequately. If there are too many kids that need personal coaching for proper development it takes away from team coaching. In a redraft he would likely be a 4th rounder, it’s progress and that’s all you can really ask for from your prospects. It would definitely be nice to hit a home run in the later rounds but the odds of that happening are very slim.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHA

I mean that's an admission of guilt to the charge of incompetence if I've ever seen one. Other organizations don't seem to have an issue developing any number of young players at the AHL level - and we don't even have that many players to develop down there which is the whole problem!

Like you can't make this crap up.

I still have some hopes for Palmu, probably irrational but I still harbour them.

Syracuse is really struggling with their boatload of talented young 20-22 year olds who are all tracking very well.

Sounding more and more like Palmu will never see NA again. Worth a try I guess in the sixth round--but I suppose the track record of any 6th-7th rounder making the NHL are remote at best.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

He is going to need some hulking players with him to stop liberties ... but a line of

Virtanen Palmu Gadjovich

would be great. So what if none of them is a center .... just tell them all to drive the net ...

This didn’t age well.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

This didn’t age well.

Those pesky liberties that keep getting taken!

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Palmu hahahaha...

 

[VanJack]

Palum might actually be a worse signing than even Mackenze Stewart or Yan Pavel Laplante, if that's possible. At least they played a few seasons in the AHL-ECHL.

Palmu disappeared into the wilds of Finland after only a handful of games in Utica, and will never be seen or heard of again. And he's still signed for another year. Yikes!.

 

[groov2]

I suppose he really didn’t like how he was treated last year given that he didn’t bother coming to camp.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Oh look! The Palmu thread was bumped! Something new happened? Nope.

You must be fun at parties.

 

[Lindgren]

As far as I can tell, Palmu still does not have a team for this season. Somebody screwed up -- his agent? the Canucks? Palmu? All three?

They (Comets) don't seem to care about focusing on quality vets as well. Have to give them props for consistancy (re: do nothing, signing anybody with a pulse).

I would be REALLY fun at parties smart guy.

Could there be a bidding war for his services currently going on?

Ya, it's Jimbo shopping Palmu, but he doesn't realize that other leagues can't accept NHL draft picks as compensation for taking on Jimbo's waste.

Thanks for the update from Finland!

excellent. i am happy he is playing again.

 

[krutovsdonut]

whoa. awesome.

 

[MS]

He could score 4 points in every game this year and still won’t be playing another game in North America for this organization.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

It's instructive that an ECHL caliber player can put up numbers in that league.

 

[Zippgunn]

It's instructive that an ECHL caliber player can put up numbers in that league.

It's also instructive that yet another player who has been a total bust for this organization bolts and almost immediately looks like a much better player elsewhere...

 

[Kiekura]

16 points in 10 games. Hottest player in Liiga right now.

It was last season when he bolted, and his results then in the Liiga weren't very impressive. He certainly didn't look like a much better player (judging strictly by his stats, I admit). In fact, I'm not sure his results in that second Liiga season matched those of his first. It's great that he's doing better now, and I'm enjoying following him, but it's not that surprising or impressive that he's doing better in what is now his third season in that league.

Also playing in much better team and his linemate Nättinen is leading league on scoring with 14 goals. They click really well together
