Things haven’t gone according to plan for the Vancouver Canucks 2017 sixth-round pick Petrus Palmu. After putting up 98 points in his draft year with the OHL’s Owen Sound Attack, many believed that the undersized Palmu could potentially turn out to be a late-round steal for the Canucks.
This belief grew stronger after Palmu went back home to Finland in 2017-18 to play for TPS Turku in the Finnish Liiga, where he scored 17 goals and tallied 19 assists. Fans were excited to see what Palmu could do when he came over to North America to play for the Utica Comets in the 2018-19 season.
