Canucks introduce more youngsters

With their 56th pick in the 2nd round the Canucks were pleased to pick up huge rw,er Fredrik Naslund . Standing 6ft 4 in and weighing in at 207 he is a power forward in the making.He played part time in the Swedish 2nd-tier league and part time in the Swedish U18 League in 2003-04 where he was really dominant scoring 12 goals and 15 assists in 14 games. The only knock on his game is getting up to speed but once there he is a load to stop.The Canucks have hired Cindy Klausenn the Canadian gold medalist to work on his explosiveness from a standing still position.
The sky is the limit for this youngster and he will get every opportunity to work on his game on the farm.He is projected to be a Canuck regular 3 or 4 seasons down the line.This will all depend on his paying attention to the coaches at all the camps he will be sent too.
