I never thought I would, but I’m really starting to warm up to Tkachuk at 6. He can most likely come in and play next year and he and Pettersson on the same line would be a treat to watch.

If we'd taken M. Tkachuk over Juolevi in 2016, how would our organization be right now? We'd have more goals, and more grit (and more suspensions) but our D pipeline in likely top 4 D would be empty.
Our 2011 team almost won the cup without a true number 1 D but 4 bonafide top 4 D (Erhroff, Edler, Hamhuis, Bieksa). Even if Juolevi never projects to be a number 1 or 2, having top 4 D is important.
We have potential top 6 wingers coming in Dahlen, Lind, and Gadjovich, in addition to Boeser, Baertschi, and free agency.
I'd rather have Juolevi in the pipeline than M. Tkachuk on the roster.
(I'd rather have Sergachev or McAvoy instead of Juolevi but that's hindsight and a different matter entirely)

I don't think bear cheese will be on this team in the long run. Gadj is prob a 3rd liner. Lind is meh but we'll see. Dahlen hopefully is top 6; im excited for him.
Boeser is the flow.
