Well, that didn’t take long. The Vancouver Canucks will have one less prospect on the Utica Comets roster. Rick Dhaliwal let us know that Petrus Palmu is heading back to Finland for the rest of the season.
A couple things popped up with this news, but let’s first focus on what Palmu did (or didn’t do). Only appearing in 12 games this season, Palmu has picked up one assist. He wasn’t producing and was often handed healthy scratches.
From rookie of the year in Finland to the AHL doghouse, I can understand why he is upset.
