Hopefully he does good and makes the AHL team and helps out Utica tremendously up at the backend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediahack Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Every draft the media talking heads and fans roast Benning. Every draft pick Gillis made was met with nothing but effusive praise by the same people. They were also roasting Benning last year for "reaching" on Boesner. Look at the results. Enough said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian player Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Juolevi + Stecher + Subban in Utica? That is a very mobile defense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I like this pick. I wasn't ever really sold on Tkatchuk, though I do think he will still be a solid player for Calgary. Juolevi fits our needs in the short and long term, with the potential to be something really good -- probably not a Norris winning defenseman, but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliboy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'd say the overhaul of the defense is about complete here, what a difference from where we were at going into the season last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) CBJ ruined it, would've been nice to have PLD... Very pleased with this pick. We have our PMD that many of us wanted for so long. Edited June 25, 2016 by CANUCK-EXPRESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) The 6-5 game Canada loss. Shift by shift on Olli Juolevi. I must say, he's got skill and talent. His strongest assets are moving the puck, his skating, and his first pass. Edited June 25, 2016 by Odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Wow Juolevi and Demko in Utica potentially next season? That would be awesome. They're still in some serious need of scoring though. I see Benning making another trade to acquire a player like Baertschi. Milano maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Leave it to CDC to be flipping out about acquiring the best defenseman in the draft. I am so thrilled with this pick. If Puljujarvi or Dubois were there, then yeah I would have liked them. But Juolevi over Tkatchuk for me 100%. The Canucks really need a puck moving, high IQ defender. That's what Olli is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzam Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 #2 or #3 D could be way more valuable than a tkachuk. Let's hope he develops into one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBOGO Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Love what Benning has accomplished. We are totally moving in the right direction with this pick. Juolevi is a true winner capturing the memorial cup and the WJC title, and in my opinion is the best Dman in this draft. Already stacked on left wing with sven, virtanen, and boeser so no need to draft tkachuk. It will also be great if we can sign lucic or backes in this Free Agency. Very pleased with this 1st round, good job JB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
