Welcome to another edition of the (now Buzzfeed-inspired!) Canucks Army Weekly Prospect Report, as we look
back on this week’s activities from all non-AHL Canucks prospects.   It’s been a fairly uneventful week with most
of the prospects being very quiet on the ice, or not playing many games.  The NCAA has been the most active, but all the
Canucks teams seemingly are on a losing streak.  There’s still much optimism in the OHL with prospects like Cole
Cassels and Jordan Subban continuing to shine.
So continue past the jump for all the latest in prospects
news.
