Welcome to this year’s version of the Canucks Army Weekly Prospect Report.  Much like last year, the intent is for a weekly post covering all of the latest in Canucks prospect news.  This year we are going to slightly change the format and try and do two weekly posts: one covering the Comets and all news related to them; and a second post on non-Comets prospects.  This would be the first post in the non-Comets’ prospects news.
With all the recent changes in staff here at Canucks Army, I was able to make the top blogger line up out of camp as I enter the second year on my EBC (Entry-Blogger Contract).  While I did not disappear in the summer, there was simply little prospect news to report since no one was playing.  Pivoted by Thats_Offside I fully intend to give 110% on every post, to keep my text short and take each week post by post.
Without much further adieu, read past the jump for the latest in prospects news:

  • Jared McCann has played one game since returning from mono, scoring 1 goal and 1 assist.
  • Jordan Subban has started off the year on the right foot with 1 goal and 5 assists in his first six games giving him a +2 and 10 PIM.
  • Cole Cassels continues to have success as he leads all Canucks OHL prospects in points.  In his first five games he has 2 goals and 5 assists as well as a +7 and 6 PIM.
  • Evan McEneny is not having a great start for an over-ager.  In 4 games he has 1 assist to his name alongside a +1 and 4 PIM.
  • Kyle Petit has not yet played a game due to injury.
  • In 3 games, Miles Liberati has amassed nothing but 9 PIM – It’s not quite the surprise he was one of the first cuts at the Canucks’ camp.

  • Gustav Forsling in the SHL has played in 8 games scoring 1 goal and 1 assist earning him a +4 with 0 PIM.

ECHL

The ECHL has officially merged with the old Central Hockey League (where Corbeil bounced around last season).  I suspect there will be a few Comets’ to be cut and assigned here.  This league does not begin until the end of October once the AHL rosters start to be finalized.
