His three seasons in Owen Sound weren't in North America?I love seeing people call 6th round picks busts after they don't go PPG in their first NA season.
okay, first PRO NA season.His three seasons in Owen Sound weren't in North America?

How is he a bust? He’s not a highly touted prospect. If you got you’re hopes up then you’re being silly.He was an older player when he was drafted and he couldn't even stay in the lineup.
I love it when posters are completely disingenuous.

He’s a 6th round pick. If you expected a bonafide middle six winger you’re reaching.He had 1 point in 12 games in his D+4 and left the continent, you weirdo.
You're the only one who has used that word.
^Bust.

don’t give up hope !!!You’re arguing semantics.
If you don’t like the word bust, use ‘failed prospect’ instead and the point holds.
He was a prospect people had some hope for, and now those hopes are done with.
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.
Have to concur unfortunately. If the guy can't beat out career AHL lifers like Bancks, Hamilton, Arseneau, Woods, Caneranessi, Woods or Darcy for a regular spot, then it's a career in Europe and possibly the KHL.He’s 5-6, can’t skate, and couldn’t handle the AHL in his draft+4 season.
He’s literally the definition of someone you can count out. There is a 0% chance this player ever plays in the NHL.
So, you are saying, there is a chance?He’s 5-6, can’t skate, and couldn’t handle the AHL in his draft+4 season.

Is it just me, or do the Canucks generally suck when it comes to drafting players from Canadian Major Junior Leagues? Lind and Gadjovich are off to pretty pedestrian starts in Utica; DiPeitro looks like he might be an impact player, but then he's a goalie so I'm not sure that counts. Virtanen looks to have turned a corner, but it's taken him four years to get there. And Juolevi? Who knows, but his London Knights career was nothing spectacular.
Of course they've signed guys like MacEwan, Chatfield, Carcone and Saunter out of Major Junior Leagues, but none of those players were actually drafted. And it's too early to make much of a projection on Jett Woo.
As far as the others, it's been a steady string of guys (most d-men) who never even earned a contract. So Palmu just seems top be latest in a generally poor list. I'm thinking the Canucks should just stick to Europe, the USHL and the NCAA.
We're so sorry, I hope you can recover, Petrus.For now, he is a total bust. But as a TPS fan, I have ofc seen every singlenone of his games. He skates well, shoots well, has high hockey IQ but is small. That is all. You have in ur hands a 6th rounder who can either play top 6 for the nucks and make at least 0,5ppg, or a total bust who plays bottom 6 1-8 games 0+0.
Then he gets traded and makes that 0,5ppg in some other team.
Most of u just seam to look at ”oh, he playd 14 games in utica and 0+1=bust”.
First of all the canucks development program is almost as bad as Edmonton...
You got lucky with pettersson, but if u think hard. Elias is the only good thing that has happened for the nucks in 10 years. So maybe u should take better care of ur picks and have a good program for young players.
Juolevi is a bust, but in another team I am sure he would be at least second pair + pp...
Way to go Vancouver!
