With the Vancouver Canucks dropping out of the NHL playoffs, it is time to turn the gaze to the prospects. Canucks prospects from all over the leagues are getting primed for the playoffs while a couple of players have already begun their postseason play.
Last year’s group of prospects presented an awesome postseason play, headlined by the AHL’s Utica Comets making the Calder Cup finals. Cole Cassels had flashes of magnificence when his Oshawa Generals shut down the Erie Otters and star then-prospect Connor McDavid. Look where they ended up! Cassels has gotten nowhere with his development.
