Might be too hopeful. But he's the best d prospect we've had since Bourdon easily.

Luc drafted 10th. Draft plus 1 he went back to juniors.  Draft plus 2 he got 9 Canuck games then back to junior. Draft plus 3 he played 41 games in the ahl and got 27 games with the nux. Left shot D, 6 foot 2, 199 pounds. 

 

Olli left shot D, 6 foot 2, around 200 pounds. Drafted 5th overall. Draft plus 1 back in juniors.  Draft plus 2 pro in Finland.  Likely to spend time split next year between the ahl and canucks.

 

Very similar trajectory. Would be real special to see Olli have the career that Luc never got to have. GCG.

He is playing a solid game.   He has played a solid tournament.   He has a solid first year as a professional.    He is simply a solid prospect who will be a solid NHL player and who was a solid pick by the Vancouver Canucks.    Not sure what is so hard for people to either understand or accept about that.   You need solid players like OJ to win and be the core of your team.   Every team in the NHL would want OJ in their system.  Period.   

how solid is he?  :bigblush:

Of course he is solid

but when u draft top 5 there are expectations on GMs and the players selected.

fans want an nhl ready player who can contribute in the draft +1 or +2 years with franchise player potential. 

 

Of course all player trajectories are different. Case in point- compare Sean couturier and Mark Scheifle. For many years WPG fans thought Cheveldayoff had crapped the bed on that pick.
