Braeden Cootes on being sent back to Seattle, experience with the Canucks and more
Seattle Thunderbirds Forward Braeden Cootes joined the guys and shared his reaction to being sent back to the Thunderbirds and what he learned with his time with the Canucks.
Important not to rush the development of prospects, the way they did in the Benning years. The way the Canucks have started off this season, it's also important to get him away from some bad examples of how the game is played, so he can be on a team that prioritizes making clean passes to teammates.
Cootes will replace Hughes as Captain soon. He has the right attitude and unequivocally wants to be here. We need less divas and more tough Canadian born talent.
when i stop and listen and watch him, his cadence, mindset and thought patterns are similar to that of Sidney Crosby – calm and composed but he has a drive
Mr Oiler here, guys don't give up hope. 35 yrs ago we had a kid named Joe Murphy and nothing worked then Ted Green said give him to me, 3 months later there was a cup parade down Jasper ave. You need a Petey whisperer, I would suggest Mats Sundin.
He's gonna be a major star for the Canucks. The 3 games he got is a great exposure of the NHL level and I hope he learns what it takes to be on that level..the kid has bright future here

Cootes is a champ! Will be a great player in the bigs in a few years, for now let him cook.

Amazing mindset for an 18 year old. He’s going to be a great player for the Canucks.
He’s gonna be elite in the NHL
This kid is the future

Need more Canadian born studs like cootes if we want to win the cup.
Shoulda kept him and shipped EP11.6m down, this 18yrold has more heart and character than our over priced DORK "1st line" centre.
Oilers fan here. We’ll give you a 3rd round pick for Cootes , Cootes will be a good oiler 😎
My takeaway was give Sherwood an A! He deserves it.
Honestly I'd rather have him on the lineup than EP40 and be patient for the future.

Awesome camp and games good luck next season is gonna be great
Crosby vibe for sure
He got his taste and now he knows what to work on.
Sherwood Park. I lived there as a kid a huge hockey town. Ken Hitchcock is from there
Excited to watch Seattle vs Victoria
sounds coached or reading notes, either way hes over confident as all 18 yr olds are, and starting to get humbled
I believe, Cootes could be steal of the 2025 draft.
