Of course we should trust you over all the professional scouts that say that he is one of the top players in this year's draft. I am sure you have seen him live as often as any of those scouts have.

He saw Juiolevvi and Tkatchuk play enough to decide the guy he picked is: a better player, has a higher ceiling, and will help our team win more.

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Love the pick! With Juolevi joining the likes of Edler Hutton Tanev Gudbranson Tryamkin, Stecher and Brisebois I'm excited in seeing how our D line is shaping up to be. Juolevi is that PMD we really needed.

Alf if your unsure about Juolevi watch the WJC YouTube game against team canada. I think you will be more then impressed with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFBR392 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Columbus really screwed us here. Teased us with the possibility of pulujujujarvieez and also took our PLD. And to think.. Columbus is the team we were chasing and eventually overtook at the end of our tank. They take our 3rd pick then bend us over twice more. That kind of luck is almost comedic. All that being said.. I'm OK with Juolevi over Tkachuk. I'm not overly happy with how it panned out but I feel Benning did fine considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the writing on the wall unless he accepts a 2 year deal. Why this kid is 2 years away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davydgoliath Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Just now, Jam126 said: The thing about Tkachuk wasn't that he was playing on a powerhouse team, he was playing on a powerhouse line. He also had a lot of secondary assists. Fair enough, but Juolevi played with Tkachuks linemates as well being their teams top defenseman, and one would assume more often than not on the powerplay. So wouldn't he have benefited from their prowess as well? Again, I'm not doubting anyone who has knowledge about them, which I do not, yet it seems to me as top players on a stacked team they both would benefit from that wealth of talent. No?

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Olli Juolevi is the new Dan Hamhuis replacement for the Canucks. He comes from a great junior program and should be not more than 2 years away from being an NHL regular like Olli Maata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have No idea what you said but I do know the Flames wanted Mathew not the Fin so you trade down, not that after losing the guy they wanted, they wouldn't have drafted him but every one knew ,except Benning apparently, who they wanted and tried to get the oilers pick never thought the Canucks would pass so didn't try or outsmarted Benning hahahahaha good guy but not the smartest card in the deck!!!

Edler Tanev Hamhuis Gudbranson Hutton Tryamkin Sbisa Joulevi Stecher Pedan Subban Larsen We could bring up 7 or 8 on the roster and let Joulevi, Stecher, Subban and Pedan still develop in the A. Now the Comets are stacked in D too which is great. I bet Benning will just get the forwards through UFA signing Lucic and Ericsson or maybe Okposo.

Reading about Tkachuck not having the best skating and not being a slick scorer thats probably why. I think it really came down to those two things, and now our D is potentially excellent for a long time to come. I'm very pleased. It took me an extra beer to get over the possibility of getting Jesse P but Edmonton's really stupid for not filling such a clear need for them.

VC420 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Not a bad pick, would like to see him on the PP with the Sedins next year, I just feel it would be good to learn from elite players like that while they are still at that level, it would help inflate his points and provide early success and the confidence boost that comes with it. Havent seen a lot of film of his skating, mostly just highlights of sick plays. I hope the guy develops into a great puck mover, I just dont see the pysical strength to be anything else so it will be interesting to watch him develop, if he isnt putting 40+ points a season I wonder if he has the tool set to still be a top four guy?
