Ovi one kenobi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Juuso Ikonen was a late ranked skater this year but I think he was ranked Higher in last years draft. This guy could be the steal of the 2015 draft and could have been the steal of the previous drafts. Anyways the canucks should use their 7th round draft pick on him.

Gstank29 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 LOL if he's really that good he move up draft boards fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerEpic5 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think he was passed up due to him being 5'6 150 pounds. He is very small. But he looks very skilled. High risk, high reward type of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kassian 09 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 5'6" is far too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnScott Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 5'6" 150lbs on a team who wants to get physical and fast in the western conf won't get far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Soldier Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think he was passed up due to him being 5'6 150 pounds. He is very small. But he looks very skilled. High risk, high reward type of guy. If you thought Ehlers was small.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 5'6" 150lbs on a team who wants to get physical and fast in the western conf won't get far. precisely this. i just don't see us taking chances on someone as small is ikonen. i think a guy like forsling is about as far as we'll go when it comes to the smaller skilled players.

Gaudette Celly Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Habs'll take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovi one kenobi Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 I know we're in a big division full of giants but this guy will take a few years to develop and he can grow a bit. Plus it's not like we will be using a first round draft pick on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeddingCrashers Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Tiny fella! How many 7th round picks turn out actually. For that reason why not try a small skilled guy. I was pretty bummed when we didn't take Kase in the 7th round this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGokou Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Don't need to waste a pick on him. He will likely be a tryout at camp for some team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think he was passed up due to him being 5'6 150 pounds. He is very small. But he looks very skilled. High risk, high reward type of guy. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=45981 Listed as 5'9 170 lbs as well in http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/juuso-ikonen/ Still isn't big but as stated in hockey's future, his size and skill is impeccable. Yeah size is a downer, but countless amount of players have shown they can overcome that deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
