Les espoirs des Canucks obtiennent un A+ au Mondial junior


Évaluation de la performance des espoirs de chaque équipe de la LNH au WJHC https://www.thescore.com/wjhc/news/2814837 Représentants des Canucks de Vancouver : Jonathan Lekkerimaki (SWE), Elias Pettersson (SWE), Tom Willander (SWE) Lekkerimaki a bondi tard dans le tournoi pour remporter les honneurs de MVP dans une tentative pour la médaille d’argent. Son tir sur réception a été presque automatique tout au long de la séquence, tirant neuf tirs au but contre la Suisse et la Tchéquie lors des matchs éliminatoires. Mais ne négligez pas Willander. Le défenseur droitier a été superbe dans sa propre zone, dominant ses adversaires 11-2 à cinq contre cinq. Et Pettersson était l’homologue d’Axel Sandin Pellikka dans la meilleure paire, jouant plus de 20 minutes par soir. Note : A+

    Can’t be an A+ when we didn’t get a gold.

    I can’t remember a time when the Canucks were not only really good, but also had a solid prospect showing at the WJC. Unreal times, praise be unto Alverford!

    All three of them were fantastic, but Lekkerimaki really stood out. It felt like anytime he was on the ice, he was creating opportunities for himself and his line mates. His development from last season to this season has been fantastic to see, and I can’t wait to see how he does when he comes to Abbotsford to join the AHL squad.

    Love this, no notes.

    So glad we’re making drafting a priority again. To compete, you need skill in your lineup on ELCs.

    Could’ve been A++ had USA not skimmed over Brusz

    I was at the tournament and lucky enough to go to every game in the medal round (skipped USA Latvia). I agree with the assessment.

    Pettersson in particular was better than I expected. Really steady in his own end.

    I had expected more of Willander but he was good. Perhaps my expectations were too high.

    Lekkerimaki had an amazing tournament, really stood out on the ice most shifts.

    Agree with the grades, as all 3 were excellent esp Lekki and Willander. Only quibble is that Pettersson most definitely was not ASP’s counterpart on the “top” pairing, as that was Salomonsson. EP2.0 played with Havelid. That said, there really was no “top pairing”, as all the pairs played pretty similar minutes.

    This is amazing. Now don’t trade them!

    How many top prospects do we have now? Please tell me using Jordan Schroeders as a unit of measurement.

    The Canucks prospects at the tournament definitely deserve a high grade but, considering that Pettersson didn’t play with Axel Sandin Pellikka at any point, I have to question how closely this guy actually watched them.
