vancouvercan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Top 4 were forwards. Selecting the best D in the draft 2016 might turn out to be a great decision. You just never know at the draft. We picked Luc Bourdon (RIP) who may have been great and passed on Anze Kopitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great 8 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Great pick, very smart player. Wanted Dubious and clearly Colombus valued him very high up. I'm so glad we didn't get Tkachuk though, I feel he's overrated playing with Dvorak and Marner. Whoever got Jost is going to be very pleased I wish we got another 1st and picked him up.

Oh I know, I was shocked and even upset at first, but after a few minutes it started to make sense. This was an excellent pick and one that needed to be made. The D looks great now.

I imagine it would be like William Nylanders was where his ELC kicked in if he played 9 NHL games. But that's only an assumption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It's also nice to know that PK Subban will not be going to EDM. One day they may get smart and draft a #1-2 D. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering his draft reputation so far, I'd say the odds are pretty decent. That being said, I think we're far better off now than we would have been has Gillis kept going. While Gillis' drafting got better in his last couple of years, I still don't have faith that that would have continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could change but that's the plan. AHL would be nice but... london Knights are a decent organization.... Pretty dang decent... Like really decent... Decent. Yeah I'd imagine one more year in London then one in Utica realistically. Future D in ~5 years...

He can maybe play #1C temporarily like Kesler back then when henrik was injured. Edited June 25, 2016 by DontMessMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 To appreciate the guy, just watch the shift-by-shift against our very own Team Canada posted one of the other posters. Juolevi's grasp of the game is amazing. He knows how to make an amazing first pass, when to join the rush, when to deliver a hit, when to just use his body, where to block shots, where the potential weak spots are behind him, and he gets to the most optimal spots to make a play very quickly. He not only makes very few mistakes, he also increased the opportunities for his team! I'm sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
