Why the Canucks Aren’t Rushing Their Prospects

In this video, I’m joined by CanucksArmy’s Dave Hall to talk about whether the Vancouver Canucks are taking the right approach with their prospects. We get into why Braeden Cootes belongs in Abbotsford, whether junior hockey can be “too easy” for Adam Novotný, and what Jonathan Lekkerimäki needs to show beyond his shot.

Dave also explains why Alexei Medvedev is a prospect to watch this year, what makes Yaroslav Bryzgalov so intriguing, and the question Anthony Romani still needs to answer.
