KesLord Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 Saw him at training camp. Seemed bigger than 6'1. Wish he would take the next step, could've been a great 3rd/4th line C Quote

See if he can push to 65-70 points. Quote
Snoop Hogg Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 Not much longer before he’s considered a bust. Quote
canucks curse Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Karlsson, Klimovich, Podz, Hogz, Bains, McDonough, that's a lot of young bubble wingers, we should try to package to get a RD... Quote
Jack Gordon Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Karlsson was good down in Abby last year. I sort of expected him to make a bigger push this year. Oh well, I Abby gets a good winger. Quote
Googlie Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Quietly having another good season. When Podz went down, the Karlsson line assumed the #1 role, and has handled it well Quote
Jess Posted November 16, 2023 Author Posted November 16, 2023 Might play his first NHL game tonight. As much as I like Bains, it feels like Karlsson deserves at least a cup of coffee in the NHL. Quote
NHLer Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 The gift given to us by Alex Burrows. And Jonathan Dahlen of course. Quote

Having Bains play top line minutes in Abby this year should prep him well for a Canucks debut next year. 1 1 Quote
Gurn Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Linus had a good game yesterday, fine first NHL game. Over all good play, but what really jumped out, to me, was his efforts to always be on the defensive side of the puck. A few times while against the boards, in the offensive zone, and going for the puck; he would skate he extra two feet, then spin to keep himself between the puck and his net. Kind of sad his couple of chances didn't result in a goal for him. 1 Quote

He's a good overall player with NHL speed. 1 Quote
Googlie Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Some nice praise from Colliton https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/feel-good-play-good-linus-karlsson-putting-in-work-for-the-next-level 1 1 Quote
VegasCanuck Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 I'm assuming that he's heading back down the highway to Abbotsford today with the news that Kuzmenko is playing tonight. Quote

fanfor42 Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Canucks haven't made an announcement on Mikhayev but Cap Friendly shows him as injured. He took a Myers slap shot off the inside of his left knee. That's the knee he had surgery on for ACL and rehabbed for 8 months. Not the best. Quote
CaptainQuin Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Will we see the Swedish house Mafia line back together? it would be cool but I think hoggy will get a chance in the top 6 with mik being out Quote
sxqhfeh Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 good news, Linus Karlsson has more scoring touch than Nils Åman and I'm hopeful he will contribute Quote

Karlsson has 3 goals and 12 assists. Even in points, but both worth a look in Vancouver. Edited November 30, 2023 by Curmudgeon 1 1 Quote
Rypien-Punch Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Karlsson has worked really hard and deserves to get this look in the NHL. In other news Jonathan Dahlen has had 10 goals and 4 assists in 21 games played in the Swedish Hockey League Quote
Googlie Posted December 14, 2023 Posted December 14, 2023 Shouldn't LK be moved back to "Prospects" now that he is back in Abby? He had a good game in a losing cause last evening .. is developing into more of a playmaker than a scorer Quote
