  1. He’s exciting but also a gamble. Hopefully he grows in the KHL and uses his experience to do well in the NHL.

  2. It doesn't matter about the 2 years bcus of the 2020 lockout cancels it out we'll get to see him same with Nikita tryamkin if he returns in 2021 Canucks will be a force to be messing with.

  3. Remember everyone, Petey was a gamble when he was drafted. Only time will tell if the gamble will pay off. I like the fact Jim rolled the dice.

  4. I really don't like the Canucks, but this is a great pick. Last year with Quinn amazing pick. This guys is going to look great with Peety.

  5. He is a gamble but with those two years left in his contract will allow him to develop a little more after all he is 18 not even close to his prime and he could play defensively if needed and from the sounds of it he might be an addition to the PK unit. We will see when he makes his debut what’s he has to bring. Been a wild ride this rebuild and it’s starting to pay off. Now if the injury count stays down

  6. The feed for this was a joke. They showed his compete level by displaying clips of him head butting a dude and being an overall douche bag.

  7. Criticize picks like Jake, a big guy like Vasily, but I trust Benning, if only because he has squeezed 15 goals and an overall effective player out of Virtanen. Development and patience are HUGE when it comes to drafting effective players and so far, Benning has proven he's great at drafting and developing players and doesn't quit on them because they have slow starts to their careers. Power forwards take longer. Hopefully Vasily plays at least a year in Russia to refine his skills, then we can bring him over and decide what the next steps should be.

  8. it would've been hilarious if there was an obscure russian with that name in the draft that would've been surprised to have his name called so early

  9. Canucks always make dumb draft decisions. They picked this guy, he can't even play for two years now cause he's on contract in Europe. Like. Come on. This is all business, they do this, then sign the aging Edler so they can suck again and get another top 10 round pick. It's all dirty business. They don't care how many wins they get, the most important thing is to charge 150$ per ticket and earn their millions. We'll see you in the playoffs in 2022 I guess, MAYBE. Maybe the Grizzlies will be back by then.

  10. I mean the canucks didn't draft any Russians in the first and second round in the last couple of years, so why not? Also, for once Benning made a good point. “We weren’t concerned about his remaining 2-years KHL contract. Any player, even drafted in the first round would’ve probably needed 1-2 years to develop”.
