God dam it Benning why the hell would you take the best Dman in the draft over the 5th ranked forward?!?!? Typical CDC lol Great pick Benning now trade Edler for Jost! 1. McCann wasn't the same year as Kylington. Also, Bonino for Sutter hasn't shown what Sutter can do, but Bonino has a nice new Stanley cup ring that he was instrumental in. Not all of JB's moves have been gems 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Tkachuk can have fun taking it to the net against Gudbranson and Tryamkin. Fins are totally in right now. Olli is going to be a hell of a player for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 How many finish defencemen become legends? Should have went with Chychrun a good Canadian boy with brute strength or a Russian. This is dumb pick up and I have to question Weisbrod, is he secretly working for Calgary? i CANNOT wait until these clowns running this show is fired- 3 years is all I give them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex425 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Funny thing is other fans that has made a lot of jokes about Benning is calling this pick good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Building Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 1 minute ago, Jiggs50 said: At best I see him as a number 2. Should of just traded down imo. There is absolutely zero reason to trade down if you truly believe that he's your guy. Next thing that happens is the team in front of you snags him and you are left playing second fiddle. If JB really wanted him, I'm ok with the decision to not risk losing him via trading down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorevat Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I like the pick, sure tkachuk could have been sick too but its rare to find #1 dmen in the third round and easier to find a top 6 winger in the later rounds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Disappointing that we weren't able to land a one of the more highly touted forwards but we will see. I liked Juolevi at the start of the year, I kind of question his upside, he was great at the WJ's, he's smart, but I'm just not too sure, I like the player but with a pick this high. Alot of scouts seem to be high on him while I've seen OHL fans say alot of nights he didn't look much more than average, maybe that's a good sign. He's ours now, he's tall, he can skate, it will take him awhile to get to the show but hopefully everything turns out. With his smarts and skating he has a chance to be a good one, we will see.

McBackup Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm very very happy. Juolevi is exactly the kind of prospect we're missing, he projects well, and we didn't take Tkachuk, I don't know how some of you can be so mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Finally, we have a defenseman that can score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable really. Same thing with McCann. Before trade: "McCann is a true number 1 centre, size doesn't matter with his shot!" After trade: "McCann was undersized and never was going to be a number 1 centre. Good thing BennGod traded him for a stud in Gudbranson who is a top 2 defenseman." It'll be a while before people stop riding the Benning train. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownky Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 An often un-thought of thought - the Scandinavians seem to be pretty loyal in terms of 'staying with a team'. There are a few, but it seem that the vast majority will make the case to stick with a team for very long term unless the team themselves want to move them on. I'm very happy. Time will tell if he pans out, but he played junior on the right team in Hunter's factory. He *will* have the solid fundamentals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shcott Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I would have rather picked Tkachuk but I'm excited to see what Juolevi will bring. Not all that disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretzky to Lemieux Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 How good is this guy? Does he have potential to be a true #1 D? Or is he a number 2 or top 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine if you don't like the pick but the guy has off the charts IQ and skating. Best Dman at WJC and won the memorial cup. Tkatchuk is good but his skating needs work and wingers can be had in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juolevi isn't as flashy but he is much more of a composed player. Calm cool and collected. Safer and better pick IMO. He is the smartest defenseman in the draft IMO.
