After a brief hiatus, and a day late this week, we are back with the Blackfish: CanucksArmy Prospect Report!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks with some prospects heading to WJHC evaluation camps, a prospect heading back overseas, and the Canucks adding another prospect earlier today.

Not to mention, some of the prospects have been taking some noticeable steps forward.

Before we dive in, the reason for missing last week was due to my family moving and some other personal matters (Which has resulted in some grammar issues since my mind has been elsewhere), but we are back and should get back to our regularly scheduled timing!

Let’s go!

Canada

WHL

Since our last update – Jett Woo has been on fire. Over the last two weeks, Woo had two goals and eight assists in six games for the Moose Jaw Warriors. With Josh Brook at the WJHC Evaluation Camp, Woo will be leaned upon even more so and should continue to build on his eight-game point streak that he is currently riding.

OHL

Matt Brassard posted three assists over the last two weeks in five games for the Generals.
New signing, Mitch Eliot, will be added to the Blackfish report going forward.
Michael DiPietro was moved to the Ottawa 67’s, appeared in one game, and has since headed to Victoria to secure the starting job with Team Canada.

United States

USHL

Thiessen appeared in five games over the last two weeks. He played very well in four straight games between November 21st and December 7th, holding his opponents to two goals or less in all four games. Unfortunately, he has seen four goals against and five against in his last two starts.

NCAA

Quinn Hughes ended the two week period with five assists over four games. He is at the Team USA World Juniors training camp and will be a large part of their team.

Tyler Madden had five assists over one goal and four assists over a two-game weekend before heading out to the same USA World Juniors Camp. Hopefully, he can secure a spot with that team as a depth centre.
William Lockwood with one goal and two assists over four Michigan Games. They are now on winter break.
Rathbone registered one goal and one assist in the three games over the last two weeks.

Europe

Russia

Artyom Manukyan continues to sit at two goals and ten assists on the season – he was held off the scoresheet in all six games over the last two weeks
Nikita Tryamkin did not play any games since our last update.

Finland

Toni Utunen dressed in three games for Tappara since our last update on November 21st, he failed to register a point. He will be suiting up for the Finnish WJHC team soon in pre-tournament games.
Petrus Palmu will be updated here from now on.

Sweden

Kristoffer Gunnarsson was loaned to Linkoping in the SHL – which could be a good thing as he appears to be getting more ice time already. He played 19:14 vs Brynas on December 6th and then 13:48 against Farjestad two nights later.

Czech Republic

Zhukenov has once again moved after being loaned to AZ Havirov over the last two weeks. He’s appeared in three games for them and registered one goal. At the very least, he is playing again.

AHL

Petrus Palmu was officially loaned by the Canucks to TPS Turku in Liiga
Colton Saucerman (D) was signed a PTO earlier this week
Brandon Anselmini (D) was returned to the ECHL
Michael Carcone was traded to the Toronto Marlies
Sam Gagner was also loaned to the Marlies (again) from the Canucks
Adam Gaudette and Alex Biega remain up with the Canucks.
