Reporting with @DhaliwalSports:
We’ve learned that the #Canucks have hired Sean Finn – a B.C. native who has spent the past decade working in development roles in the KHL – as an amateur scout.
Interesting hire. 2027 draft class is loaded with 🇷🇺-born talent.
2 more today after work.
Nice…are you just chucking it out there from around Tower Point? A couple of my buddies got into them yesterday too, they said it was a crazy day and sent photos too. I’m jealous.
Lickermating is already an abject failure. Fucking dreadful pick and a waste of an roster spot be it AHL or NHL.
Welcome to the party Brokewood…hope you’re doing well buddy.
He has been less than impressive so far but keep at it. He has a hell of a shot and when he figures it out
I think he’ll be an Oiler then.
So many bad draft picks and the Podkolzin draft in 2019 might be the worst example. Podkolzin is a good complementary player and seemingly a good person, but to take him 10th overall was a massive blunder considering Boldy, Knight, Caufield, Harley and Connor McMichael were taken shortly after him. I mean, Shane Pinto and Jackson LaCombe were taken in the second round, where Pod should’ve went despite his ranking, and they’re better players than him and in positions of need within the organization.
I talked to a buddy of mine who’s set up at the China Creek Campground on the Alberni Inlet, he said sockeye were good but the Springs have been slow thus far. Maybe he’s just not that good of a fisherman and can only tie one knot?
Just imagine having two of that type of player. I think Canucks give up too early on a lot of young first round picks. Horvat Podz Lekker. I have always been a Podz fan and I think he will just keep getting better and better. I see him becoming a Nichuskin 2.0 when all is said and done
Lekkerimäki is close to entering Olli Juolevi territory. He needs a breakout season.
That kid weighs 135 pounds, he’ll be injured 80% of his career, another bad draft pick.

They essentially replaced Podkolzin with Linus Karlsson because of their fetish for Swedish players. Karlsson’s a year and a half older but pretty much gives you a similar game, he had 35 points to Podkolzin’s 37, but Karlsson plays with bottom six plugs in Vancouver, not two of the best players in the world in McDavid and Draisaitl like Podkolzin.
His history would suggest otherwise. Do you think he will fit in with this team? That’s the big question, they want to establish a good culture here. Hopefully you’re right and they miraculously manage to move him off the team. He’s in a good spot to float the rest of his deal out here like Loui Eriksson did regretfully.
I don’t know if he’s liked or not within the room, I just know he’s a strange kid. He’s extremely talented but he needs to be happy internally and to have better offensive players around him than they currently have. I just hope they can move him at some point. I think everyone needs a fresh start.
Kevin Weekly said there is still question if Demko will be ready for the start of the season
RJ said a month ago that he couldn’t say with confidence that Demko would be ready for camp. I’m assuming it’s a no.
I hope he just goes on injured reserve until his contract expires.
