Popular Post KKnight Posted June 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) I admit I wanted Dubois. But, a lot of you are just seeing what the other people bring to their teams. Olli Juolevi is going to help our possession game sooooo much. We get our PP quarterback for the next 10-15 years. You here Pierre McGuire saying, the most underrated player in the draft, in his eyes was Juolevi. That's a tall order. MOST of us were bitching about Boeser last year and he would have been a top 5 pick in this draft. So let's let this play out. Great D-man are a lot harder to get than wingers. Plus maybe they see Lucic as their bruising winger for the next 5 years. We don't know the plan. Edited June 25, 2016 by KKnight 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safer and better pick IMO. He is the smartest defenseman in the draft IMO. Definitely safer and higher iq. I was hoping for the risk/reward player in sergachev who I think will become a top 10 d in the league. Either way I'm happy with the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberries Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I don't mind taking Juolevi, I mind taking Juolevi at 5. Should have traded down as he would have been available still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Juolevi - Gudbranson Hutton - Tanev Tryamkin - Sbisa/Larsen/Subban Defense looks really nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question will be can he be a #1? Sergachev could be a stud or dud IMO. High upside and high offensive skill. Good pick for MTL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've found is that Dmen who have the fundamentals down (like Juolevi apparently does) tend to be able to play the game at the next level with relative ease, while Dmen who have more flash and dance, but aren't as defensively sound seem to have some issues.

DeNiro Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The one area of our prospect pool that has looked weak for a long long time. Suddenly we have another huge piece to the puzzle. I wasn't sold on Dubois as a first line center anyways. I think we're better getting a center with true number 1 potential in another draft. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Dubois was gone so can't complain about taking best Dman in the draft. We need defense. We've needed a number 1 dman for a long time hopefully he can develop into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this pick, would have considered moving down to 7th and maybe still being able to get him (or take Sergachev if not) but I've said before I would be fine taking him at 5th overall. He could be a top pairing, all around D-man who can contribute offence. Not as sold on Tkachuck's ceiling as I am on Juolevi's but time will tell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juolevi's play style definitely fits in the new NHL. High IQ topped with high skill is highly coveted throughout the league. I liked a lot of D in this draft for a lot of reasons but Juolevi I always thought as a sure fire NHL top 4 defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jordan Subban can make the leap in the NHL as a Torey Kurg like OFD how cool would it be to see a Tryamkin/Subban pairing nicknames anyone? "David and Goliath"?
