Alright, we have quite a bit to cover today, so let’s get to it. The Vancouver Canucks have their prospects spread around the world and there’s an interesting story from several different leagues. We take ourselves across the Atlantic to Suomi (for those who don’t watch international hockey, that is what Finland is called in Finnish).
Let’s start with Toni Utunen and Tappara. Utunen scored his first career goal in Liiga. Yeah, I get it. He scored his first goal in January. To be fair, he had trouble getting into the lineup and was even loaned to Finland’s second tier league, Mestis during the season.
