Scouting Kelowna @ PG today and tomorrow. First time seeing Paupanekis (@eliteprospects.com #53), Sharpe (CSS #65 MA), and Gerwing (CSS #135 NA) on their new team. Lajoie (CSS #70) , Aiden Foster (CSS #134), and Ravensbergen (EP #22) taking part. #2025NHLDraft

Scouting PG vs. Everett today and tomorrow for @eliteprospects.com Carter Bear, Cole Temple, and Shea Busch headline a few #2025NHLDraft prospects. First time seeing Landon Dupont live this season. The #2027NHLDraft prospect has 50 points (12-38) in 49 games this season. 👀

For @canucksarmy.bsky.social This past weekend, the #Canucks acquired prospect Victor Mancini. A hulking 6-foot-3, 229-pound right-shot defender, Mancini boasts range, physicality, disruptive habits, and a daring puck-carrying game. Analysis and video: canucksarmy.com/news/daniel-...

Scouting PG vs Tri-City tonight and tomorrow. Jackson Smith (@eliteprospects 6th-overall Ranking for Feb), Gavin Garland (122 CSS), Savin Virk (BCHL —> WHL), and Cash Koch all taking part. Ravensbergen starts (22-9-3-1) this season. #2025NHLDraft

For @canucksarmy.bsky.social, Despite a disappointing outcome for Sweden at the 2025 WJC, Tom Willander was a beast for his nation. I broke down his tape, discussed improvements in his game, and looked at his translatability. (Video + Analysis). #Canucks  canucksarmy.com/news/daniel-...

#Canucks Tom Willander with two dangerous setups in the back half of the third period. He just missed the puck as he drove the middle off the slot entry. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

Back for game two — yes, those are TMNT jerseys.

Watch Willander scan here -- five checks. Builds the mental map -- knows the backdoor threat is now behind the net and is ready to disrupt the possession in the crease. #Canucks

#Canucks Tom Willander tanks a one-timer on an early PK and gets the clear off a bobbled puck. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

Scouting @SeattleTbirds vs. @PGCougars Ravensbergen, Cootes, and Mrtka headline as top #2025NHLDraft eligible players. Matej Pekar is skating on Seattle’s top line.

Willander drives off his inside edge to step around pressure but retreats from the activation to roll high to the point, flexing his mobility -- gets a couple of dangerous shots with chaos around the crease. #Canucks 🎥: @TSN_Sports

#Canucks Sawyer Mynio cross-checks Ryan Leonard in the slot right after Team Canada ties it, and USA scores on the ensuing powerplay to retake the lead.

#Canucks Tom Willander comes close to extending Sweden's lead -- goes crossbar and out off a one-touch shot from the point. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

Willander --> Axel Sandin Pellikka --> Victor Eklund (#2025NHLDraft). Willander's third point of the game. 🎥:@TSN_Sports

#Canucks Willander rips his second of the game, again on the powerplay -- gets a deflection off a Swiss stick. That's two goals and a post in this game so far. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

Tom Willander nearly has his second of the game, ticking the post on a one-time drive. He's been strong off the line this tournament. #Canucks 🎥: @TSN_Sports

#Canucks Tom Willander opens the scoring for Sweden with a powerplay shot off the point. He picks the top corner, blocker side, through a screen. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

#Canucks Willander with a quick up to David Edstrom to spring a 2-on-1, leading to an Eklund shot -- he didn't shoot off the pass, waiting, and ripping the puck high. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

Eklund's entire sequence down low was incredible -- so much physical pressure fought off. He even started the entry to get the puck deep. The catalyst here. #2025NHLDraft 🎥:@TSN_Sports

#Canucks Tom Willander connects with top #2025NHLDraft prospect Victor Eklund with a deft redirection. Nice find by Willander, with Eklund planting his stick as a target. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

A strong start for top #2025NHLDraft prospect James Hagens (@eliteprospects.com #1). A goal and wild backhand find off the near boards to hit Gabe Perreault in the hashmarks -- two primary points. In an open top-end of this class, a big WJC means something.

This was a pretty great sequence by #Canucks Tom Willander. First, he dekes the high pressure and nearly sets up a slot shot. Then, he gets the outside shot off the left-hand circle. He keeps possession with a clamp after --again very active. 🎥:@TSN_Sports

Victor Eklund's (@eliteprospects.com #7) play has been typical of what we have seen this year. Pushing a higher-end motor with proactive physical contact + the cut/power on net off the left wing. He even got the puck on his forehand for the short-side chance in tight. #2025NHLDraft

Willander has been active in the OZ to start the tournament, with a few downhill off-puck activations already. He's at his best when this patterns. His point shot was nearly deflected here -- the bank play was called no-goal. #Canucks 🎥@TSN_Sports

Sweden is running both Axel Sandin Pellikka and #Canucks Tom Willander on their top PP unit. Willander is at the top of the point, funnelling pucks -- he looked for ASP twice here. 🎥: @TSN_Sports

For @eprinkside.bsky.social NCAA Stock Watch! 📈 — Ryan Leonard (#ALLCaps) — Shane Vansaghi (#2025NHLDraft) — Dylan Hryckowian (Free Agent) — Cullen Potter (#2025NHLDraft) — Dean Letourneau (#NHLBruins) eprinkside.com/2024/12/13/n...

We’re back with the second draft ranking for the #2025NHLDraft 🔥 Our scouts hammered out a Top 50 plus honourable mentions for December! 🔗: eprinkside.com/2024/12/11/t...

Jonathan Lekkerimäki has 10 goals in 14 AHL games -- 14P on the season after tonight. He's scoring in different ways, a lot coming in highly contested areas of the ice. The off-puck hockey sense is an overpowering advantage -- his tools just add to that. #Canucks

Scouting @blazerhockey vs. @PGCougars tonight. Saw them a few weeks ago — Tommy Lafrenière had a monster defensive game. More looks at Nathan Behm and Vít Záhejský. #2025NHLDraft

Justin Carbonneau is one of the more skilled players in the #2025NHLDraft. He's entertaining, blends tools, creates advantages & manages a mountain of puck touches in a given game. Sometimes, tunnel vision takes over, & you get plays like this. 🤣 27GP-20G-22A-42P this season

For @canucksarmy.bsky.social Danila Klimovich leads the Abby #Canucks in goal scoring (9) & tied for the points lead (13). After a rocky campaign last year, Klimovich has returned better than ever, pushing pro habits, improved mobility, & skill. More: 👇 canucksarmy.com/news/daniel-...

Sawyer Mynio was named to Team Canada’s WJC camp. He has been out for a bit, but I like his chances to make the final roster barring he’s healthy. Extremely physical, elite crease clearer, a strong activation game, and one of the more disruptive players named. #Canucks

Vít Záhejský appeared to be in some pain near the midway point of the first period (I didn’t catch what happened). He played a PP shift shortly after, and I didn’t see him for the rest of the game. I don’t want to speculate, but I hope it isn’t anything serious. #2025NHLDraft

Three-point night for Kirill Kudryavtsev The former 7th-round pick has translated to the professional game nicely. 2-6-8 in 14GP this season. I’ll do a breakdown of his game sometime in the future. He’s a prospect worth being excited about. #Canucks

Scouting Kamloops vs. Prince George. Nathan Behm is the main draw, but also excited to see Vít Záhejský for the first time since the Hlinka Gretzky Cup. He was out with a broken ankle but returned on the 15th. Ravensbergen starts for PG (11-2-4 .900, 3.08) #2025NHLDraft

Alright, are we doing this?
