How many picks have been thrown away for nothing returns prospects too. If he was the gm of the oilers or flames and did what he did here the same people pumping his excuses would be mocking him endlessly. whiffing on top ten picks now ok and acceptable because other gms muss to, you mean like Gillis. Jb canucks version of Kevin Lowe he should have been fired years ago but s for some reason he keeps his job. And how many of those gms that whiffed on top ten picks still had jobs 5 years later. Knowing Jb he’ll trade oj and a 5th for a 30 year old Ahler. He’s used up all his mulligans he’s a failure. only thing he’s really good at is making terrible excuses for why he keeps failing. God just reading that gave me a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose Juolevi that's 2 wasted top-10 picks in the last few years. Good teams simply don't mess up like that. Virtanen and Juolevi both gone for nothing, who could have been Nylander and Tkachuk... Hindsight is a wonderful thing eh? Lol. Virtanen ending up a total loser isn’t the Canucks fault, neither are Joulevi’s injuries. Sometime $&!# happens.

JM_ Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) AZ for a 2nd round pick makes the most sense to me, looking at other teams needs. AZ has 5(!) 2nd round picks. What are the odds that all 5 will be better than OJ and have his reclamation potential? pretty low. Add to that, they have nothing on the left side after JC. I would hate to see Jim fire sale OJ for anything less. If we can't recover a 2nd round pick we should just keep him and let him play, he's better defensively than Rathbone right now.

DeepThoughts Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 If OJ sucks, OJ sucks. What really hurts is the protection slot Benning wasted on OJ. He could have done another Dickensen style deal and picked up a solid D-man for a middling pick from a team that was going to lose said d-man for nothing.

Even that is a failure If we got this years 5th o/a pick would anyone trade straight across for a 2nd round pick, He is better to keep than lose for nothing though (something we cannot afford to keep doing) Edited October 10, 2021 by ba;;isticsports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has crystal balls, OJ was ranked in the top 10 by many reputable scouts and teams. So far he's been injury prone, but if we're determined to give up on him at least recover a top 60 pick is all I'm saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see him go for nothing I remember at the pick a lot of "experts" saying Canucks made a mistake because OJ played on a powerhouse Finnish team at the time It is who we have now, if he cannot be traded (let him know) maybe give him 10 games to sink or swim before exposing him and let Rathbone play every situation in Abby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No risk at all in Jack playing 10 games in Abby. Yeah lots of experts on draft day for me, I'm glad we didn't pick Tkatchup. He's a zero-character player who's not going to take Calgary anywhere. I did like Sergachev better tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much of an opinion on draft day as i don't see enough of everyone like scouts do, or even talking to the kids or seeing how they talk and behave around teammates etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathbone can have all the giveaways, but he'll still be in the lineup. Green obviously is in love with him. It's irrational. No, he is. A 5th overall should be nhl ready. Not needing 10 years for him to become something more than a 6th/7th D man. He’s not even in the top 20 for D-men in his draft year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
