    Correct on both.  Wow you're good. These guys barely played any games with VAN.

    I too would rather keep the Bo, Baer, and Boeser line and put Goldobin with other players. Either with the twins or perhaps Sutter and Eriksson. He and Granlund are basically our top two forwards outside of the triple B line and both have shown flashes of working with the twins, so whichever one works better with them earns that spot while the other one gets Sutter and Eriksson. That's the way I see it anyways.

    Goldobin was terrible with Sutter, but he looked solid with the Sedins.  Granlund has worked with both. Put Granny with Sutter.

    I guess, but that was just our team. I was more referring to the NHL as a whole in the 70s. To see some of the guys who made it into the top 5 in some drafts is laughable.

    Yup. For example. 1978 draft. Mike Gillis 5th overall.  Stan Smyl 40th overall.

    The drafts just get worse and worse the further back you go anyways. Drafting and scouting has changed a lot since the 70s.

    For Canucks drafting just look at the Gillis era. We were absolutely terrible.  Barely any solid players drafted.  We drafted low, but still. Terrible.

    Plenty of sixth's have had worse careers than Alex:

     

    2012    Hampus Lindholm 
    2010    Brett Connolly 
    2008    Nikita Filatov
    2005    Gilbert Brule
    1999    Brian Finley
    1998    Rico Fata    
    1997    Daniel Tkaczuk
    1996    Boyd Devereaux
    1995    Steve Kelly
    1993    Viktor Kozlov
    1992    Cory Stillman
    1990    Scott Scissons
    1989    Adam Bennett
    1988    Scott Pearson
    1987    Dave Archibald
    1985    Brad Dalgarno
    1984    Craig Redmond
    1981    Jim Benning
     

    If Jake works hard in this off season and is given a real chance he should be alright, if not, back to the A. 

    Trader Jim!

    yep and then maybe Boeser as well. Might be best for him to spend 1/2 a year down there. Might even see Raddysh(I have a feeling he signs with us) and our 2017pick down there as well. Utica could have a good team next year. Especially with Demko in net!

    No way Boeser get put in Utica.  He looked way too good in VAN plus Aquilini needs to sell tickets

    He really looks like he sees the game very well. He seems aware of what's going on on the ice at all times. Definitely helps with his playmaking and decision making. Also seems to be a PP specialist based on the number of clips from the PP. I'd love to see him dominate from London's blue line next year.

     

    God damn what a wrist shot

    why is that? He looks fine to me.  What? some kids are ripping it up in their junior leagues?  PLD and Pulujurvi aint doing much and they were drafted ahead of Juolevi.

     

    Jost had a ok season, Sergechev seasons seems meh.

    You watch the WJC? And yes I understand that the WJC is just a few games and that Finland was a very weak team. WJC showed Jost and Sergachev and A.Nylander are very good prospects. Juolevi was underwhelming. Puljujarvi has 24 pts in 31 AHL games as an 18 year old, which isn't amazing but is pretty good considering age. PLD isn't looking great considering he was 3rd pick, but rest of top 10 looks quite good.

    Ya Tkachuk is hilarious out there. Just taking runs at doughty. Fearless kid, but everyone will tell you how they wouldn't want him anyway cause he's scum and a dirty player.

     

    That said let's wait til Juolevi is a Canuck before wondering if we made the right choice.

    Not saying we made wrong choice, just it's super hard to look at Juolevi compared to the rest of the players drafted in top 10.

    It's especially tough to be patient when his size & skillset is sorely needed today, but power forwards take longer to develop.

     

    When he's ready, I look forward to him complimenting the smaller skill guys we've acquired.

     

    Next meaningful checkpoint is training camp. If he looks good, bunk him with a character veteran to help him develop into a pro. 

    True, it is very hard to be patient especially with the guys drafted after him :( . But I agree, he still has potential and he could help bolster our third line when we are good again.  Hopefully his playing style when he gets to the NHL is like Hansen, tough but can make plays in both ends of the ice.  

     

    Imagine if he had the drive and work ethic like Horvat.....it would be insane.

    Sounds a LOT like Waaahhhh we shoulda drafted Tkachuk still

     

    Last year the Knights finished with 319 Goals for 182 Goals against.  

     

    As of now 265 goals for 175 against with 6 games left to play

     

    To say somehow that Juolevi is not driving offense or is somehow not preventing goals or making a jump is reaching about as far as a person with a tragic argument could.

     

    he's set to finish with more points in less games played and less ice time overall on a team that lost  it's entire top line as well as 2 of it's top 4 

     

    To say he's not progressing or is somehow not growing is sad and in no way shape or form can it be proven when looking at his stats vs ice time vs games played.

     

    Take your lust for a Flame elsewhere, this argument is just sad.  Juolevi is a gem and he's going to have a long solid career with the canucks

    For a top 5 draft pick, he should be absolutely insane in his draft plus one year. He isn't producing, or playing defensively like the highest defenseman drafted in his draft. He is progressing, but not as much as he should be. Especially compared to the players drafted AFTER him.  Look at the list (Tkachuk, Keller, Sergachev, Jost, Mcleod, Kunin, McAvoy. Chychrun).  I'd rather have McAvoy (14th overall) or Sergachev (9th overall) than Juolevi if we had to pick again.  And that is only considering D-men. However, this one year doesn't define him, and anything can happen when he gets to AHL/NHL.
