Looks like the Utica Comets are getting more reinforcements. Jim Benning and the Vancouver Canucks announced earlier today that they signed their 6th round pick from the 2017 draft, Petrus Palmu.
For those keeping count, that’s four players from the 2017 draft signed by the team. Rick Dhaliwal also let us know that the Canucks are speaking with Michael DiPietro‘s representatives, so that total could quickly be up to five.
Palmu of course just had a terrific season in the Finnish Liiga, winning the league’s rookie of the year award.
