rekker Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It's not any of our guys. Marek said a prominent team. Ya. Not the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It's Rubtsov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Could well be anywhere in the 1st round as well- high pick doesn't necessarily mean a top 10 pick. Any first round pick relative to the entire draft could be considered high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Also what game we talking about here? Battlefront 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for who: My guess on that would be Max Jones. It would be impossible to say with such certainty the player is not making the NHL if he was talking about Juolevi.

ruilin96 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 My guess is Logan Stanley of the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caknuckle Puck Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It's Obviously Jaromír Jágr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It isn't Juolevi, he has had a good year in Europe and played well. The player in question is in rough shape, doesn't sound at all like Ollie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vandelay Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Would wager money that it’s Jakub Zboril. Complete disappointment since being drafted. Fits the time line of being in junior, when Marek learned of the “news” (1 year ago he said). And on a very very Prominent team. Only a few other options from the 2015-2016 draft, but they don’t entirely fit the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I ruled out Juolevi when first reading it. The Bouchard comment has me a bit concerned though. I wouldn't laugh at this stuff. It's a compulsion, and for any player at a development stage, putting anything above hockey is going to set them back behind their peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brobidus Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Although Zboril could be a good candidate, he is in the AHL. i don't think he fits. The first name that popped up in my mind was actually Rubstov as well. I don't know what happened to him, but he still plays well for a good time.

Yeah I don't know why someone commented that it was funny. It's no win scenario for everyone involved including the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Canucks Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 When Marek says "very, very prominent," is he talking about a big market team, or a contending team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 No one has mentioned that marek stated that he was a high pick. Now one could argue that ever one drafted in the first round is a high pick, but I think he means that he was a high pick within the first round. He backs up this theory by saying "I’m probably saying too much right there" Why would he say that when its already been mentioned multiple times that the suspect was a first round pick. Once even in the title. In thinking that means a high pick within the first round I would say that it has to be top 15 overall. That would rule out Logan stanley Max Jones Rubtsov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Canucks Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 If it was Juolevi, wouldn't we have heard about it earlier from someone within the Vancouver media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA certainly qualifies as a high-profile franchise. Hopefully this is something strong mentorship can overcome. Makes sense, the scouts didn't seem to have much problem with his speed, those that interviewed him because they had an offside chance of getting him stayed away, and then when asked it was his speed that them from picking him. LA probably didn't even interview him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
