The NHL playoffs have been fantastic!
But we are here to talk about Canucks prospects – The Utica Comets begin the AHL playoffs this weekend, the Wings are in tough against the Stingrays. While in the CHL, Kyle Pettit is the only remaining Canucks prospect still active as the Erie Otters and London Knights meet in what should be a fantastic battle.
Lastly, Team Canada faces Switzerland in the U18 quarterfinals at 1:30 PM PT on TSN – so go watch that!
Here we go!

  • All the stats above are their playoff points – excluding Stewart, who didn’t make the playoffs.
  • Carl Neill remains with Utica but has yet to see any game action.
  • Kyle Pettit played two games this week and was held pointless. He was -1 and had 2 SOG as Erie eliminated Sault St Marie in 5 games. Erie is taking on  London in the OHL Western Conference Finals. He was held pointless last night in Game 1.
  • Brisebois, Zhukenov, Olson and Stewart’s seasons are done.

  • Brock Boeser committed to returning to North Dakota for next season – not surprising, and likely the best course of action. Tyson Jost has been fantastic at the U18 and will join Boeser and UND next season.
  • Gaudette’s season is over.

  • Rodin’s season is done
  • Tryamkin’s season is done.
  • It appears that Jasek’s season is done – but he could appear in same random league in the Czech republic for all we know. From what I have heard, the intention is to have Jasek enter the CHL Import Draft and ply his trade here in North America next season. We won’t know for sure for awhile as the CHL import draft in on June 28th.

  • The Utica Comets will face the Albany Devils in the first round of the AHL playoffs. The Comets were 2-4-2 versus the Devils this season.
  • Albany has loaded up a bit adding Pavel Zacha, Damon Severson, Reid Boucher, Blake Speers and Joseph Blandisi in the last 10 days.
  • There were no transactions this week for the Comets – I wouldn’t expect any for the remainder of the season, as some players might be coming back from injury.
  • As we all know – Brandon Prust has been shut down for the season.
  • Darren Archibald, Alex Friesen and Milos Bubela are practicing and may be available this weekend.
  • Wacey Hamilton, Kellan Lain and Michael Periera are injured and not practicing.
