- The Abbotsford Canucks were eliminated from the post-season a couple of days ago, and their exit has sparked some discussion about the Canucks’ pipeline and how their developmental system can be improved. Here’s the official team recap of the playoff loss:

- One name involved in these discussions is Daniel Klimovich. Rick Dhaliwal does not support the move to scratch the prospect in the playoffs:
"It's ridiculous.."@DhaliwalSports is very confused why Danila Klimovich was healthy scratched by the Abbotsford Canucks for two games. https://t.co/h4e2SKLzpb pic.twitter.com/LSdqw1J3cC

- Another key name was defence prospect Jett Woo, who, for some reason, played at forward. It’s fine, though — the Canucks are rife with great right shot defenders!
It is absolutely amazing to me that Jett Woo, supposedly the best right-handed defenceman prospect in the #Canucks system, spent both games of the Abbotsford Canucks’ brief playoffs — and most of the latter half of the regular season — as a fourth-line forward.
