Prospect Info: Petrus Palmu

[DanCloutiersFiveHole]

Decided i'd make only one video for the Canucks this year... Enjoy.



I think you'll notice his shot

Wow, big clapper on the little guy! I like that he seems to score just about every way conceivable. Point shot, wrister from the dot, off the rush, cleaning up the crease. Definitely doesn't look like small out there

 

[PancakeHero]

Honestly, this guy looks fantastic. He doesn't look that small, and he doesn't play small. He has presence and takes it in hard. Fantastic shot.

 

[PancakeHero]

That is sweet.

 

[DaJackal]

Check out that shootout at 5:18->, he has got some quick hands.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Check out that shootout at 5:18->, he has got some quick hands.

What doesn't he have, besides a few more inches of height? Poor mofo, so talented. I bet he'll make it regardless of his size, though.

 

[Frank Garrett]

Holy crap I hope this kid makes it to the show.

 

[Dreamboat]

This kid is absolutely ****ing incredible. Here's hoping he makes the NHL, he'll easily be my favorite player and one of the most exciting to watch

 

[GetFocht]

stylistically, he looks exactly like Gaudreau.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

I'm thinking his dream comparison, as lazy as it may be, is Viktor Arvidsson. Passed over a couple of times, then dominates the AHL in his first season and rises quickly. Like Arvidsson, no real flaws outside of size (the former is two inches taller, but the same listed weight).

 

[Karl Childers*]

Wow that's quite the video.Thanks feebster. Kid really knows where to go on the ice to find the soft spots. He has pretty decent wheels and can absolutely hammer the puck. I'd be curious to see if he will continue to man the pp point in the future.

 

[Karl Childers*]

double post

 

[Gaunce4gm]

If he doesn't make it it won't be because of his size.


181 lbs is solid at that height. Johnny Gaudreau manages just fine and he's the same height AND weighs ~25lbs less

 

[canuckfan75]

love this pick.

 

[polarbearcub]

Wow... just watched this video. He has some serious high end skill and upside.... I'm jacked to see how he does.... don't wanna say the next gaudrau.. but you never know... we may have a huge steal here

 

[MS]

He doesn't have nearly the agility or shiftiness in traffic that Gaudreau does. Nor I don't think quite the high-end playmaking ability.

Reminds me a bit of David Desharnais - who I know was a whipping boy at times in Montreal but has played nearly 500 NHL games and had multiple 50-point seasons. Stocky fire hydrant of a player with super quick hands.

Good news if we can get him in Utica this year. Wouldn't be surprised if he can have instant impact down there.

 

[Donuts]

he got skills
nice pick in the late rounds, could be a steal for the canucks

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

He's also am overager.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a great pick. He is exactly the type of player to take a chance on in the late rounds. But let's call it for what it is. He is shorter than almost anyone in the nhl and older than most players in the draft.

 

[Verviticus]

its weird that when talking about a prospect people use the terms "may" and "might" to refer to like, sub 1% chances

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

He's also am overager.

nope

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

nope

You know what I meant. Don't be a doofus, doobie.

 

[elitepete]

nope

Draft overager, not CHL overager.

 

[GetFocht]

What's the difference between him or mason shaw?

 

[Josepho]

What's the difference between him or mason shaw?

The shot is easily the biggest one.

 

[Nucker101]

What's the difference between him or mason shaw?

Shaw is better

 

[DL44]

stylistically, he looks exactly like Gaudreau.

Stylistically I see more MSL than Gaudreau.

Isn't as shifty as JG, and with the longer stick he doesn't dangle as much either.
But like MSL - that long stick adds some mph to his shot... kid can bang em.
