That, along with the delusion that being obnoxiously negative about various members of the Canucks organization, on a Canucks fan website, makes them seem cool, clever and knowledgeable. 1 hour ago, J.R. said: Ridiculous, impatient and infantile.

There'll always be a player we should have taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking Juolevi, is looking long term, simply because dman take so much longer to develop, and play a mature game. I didn't mind the pick, I love it in fact. He might not be an offensive player like a Drew Doughty, but c'mon, not a lot of dman are like Doughty. He's a generational dman. Juolevi is going to be very good. Might not be elite, but that's ok. We gotta begin to build somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficeDonkey Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It's hockey day and i'm a couple beers in already so thought i'd chime in on OJ. Like many others, i wanted Tkachuk at the draft as I thought he was a slam dunk and was exactly what this team lacked and has been lacking for years..... a gritty top 6 fwd who can piss off the other team and fill the net. Although OJ wasn't the guy I would've gone with, there's a lot to like about the kid. I think if you are taking a D high in the draft, they have to think the game well above all else... which is OJ's #1 strength. The offence and physicality can come with maturity but if you don't have that high IQ to start with, you won't know how to use those tools to your best potential. He's a competitor and a proven winner, and with a lot of hard work down the road, there's a great chance for this kid to be our #1 for years. We all see what Tkachuk is doing now and want that instant gratification, but I hope we stay patient with him and allow him to grow into the player he can be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can't seem to wait for players to develop and assume that more nhl ready players automatically equal 'better'. Or that more rebuilt teams have 'better' prospect pools. Well sure, they've been rebuilding twice as long + as we have. How much 'better' was their prospect pool 3 years in to their rebuild though? Is as though almost nobody can consider context or critically think anymore. And those of us who do get slammed for making excuses and being 'Homers'. Ridiculous, impatient and infantile. Lots of clamoring for instant gratification in the 'we support rebuilding' crowd, it seems. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a lot of posters seem to be completely oblivious towards their own contradictions. Like the clown who is "happy" that we have OJ, but feels that JB was "dumb" to pick him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its exactly what's been said over the last couple of years to the 'blow it up' squad... most don't have the stomach for the time it takes to rebuild a team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't so ironic it would piss me off. There are posters here who have sadly forgotten that teams are not just magically remade from one season to the next. It takes years to get returns on prospects. They see a few players make an earlier impact and think the race is over and we lost somehow. They are watching the sprint at the start of a marathon and picking winners and losers. EW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 2 assists for Juolevi today in a 4-1 win. Brings him to 45gp 8g 29a 37pts. He should surpass point totals from last year which should even make Tkachuk lovers happy. Just imagine how many points he would have if the god Tkachuk was still with London 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don't be crabby I'm joking around. I also didn't say anything negative about Tkachuk so take it easy. He's a productive player for sure but I'm of the opinion that over the long run that Juolevi was the right choice. If anything I'm poking fun at how over the moon people are with Tkachuk. You never used to be this touchy Deniro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
