Xol Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Finally came to terms with that bust pick. At least Schenn plays with bite, we don't have much of that 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AK_19 Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 I don't think Joulevi failing as a prospect can really be blamed on Benning. By the scouting reports themselves, one of Joulevi's strengths was his mobility and skating. However, it was clearly one of his weaknesses at camp. The only thing that can explain the drastic difference in his skating has to do with his injuries. Nobody has a crystal ball guys. Virtanen I blame 100% on Benning, Joulevi was just unlucky. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we should be building a fast puck moving team and he seems to be one of the few that's not which might disrupt the flow of the game for our team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadjovich at least brings something, unlike a guy who is as useful as a North Korean ballot box.. Wooo. Easy there. I m from north korea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 What's done is done. Time to move on and cheer for the team. And hopefully JB has plans to improve areas of weakness wherever it may be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In drafting the first round you always take the BPA. Juolevi was not the BPA at #5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this trade and luxury of hindsight anyone who doesn't regret the draft is in complete denial Lol we probably still have people in these boards that think Virtanen is a better pick than Ehlers or Nylander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to discount hat and say it was a bad pick with the advantage of hindsight. Was hoping he could get back on track but there weren’t a lot of options left other than to trade him. He would not have cleared waivers. Got some projects in return of roughly equivalent value. Happy enough with that. Actually if you look at the first pages of his page a there were many disappointed with this pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot weather, beach, ocean and watching some strangers holding a silver cup. Spoiled? Florida is the armpit of the USA. I don't know if it's the constant wet heat or what but it seems a lot of the weird that happens in the states comes from the state of Florida. Gimme a place with 4 actual seasons any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even saw some decent physical play from him. what was concerning was his lack of ability to turn when he was getting challenged on the outside. A lot of our defenders seem to have deficiencies, so it says a lot about how he was viewed if they gave up on him. green seems to have his fingerprints on a lot of these moves. In one of the exhibition games, there was a play where an opposing forward came at Juolevi, went left and Olli turned right. I watched him for the rest of the game and realized he can only turn one way. In the NHL you have to be able to turn both ways or guys are going to blow by you often and this was certainly the case with Juolevi. Some guys just can't master the art of turning both ways (I'm one). Edler had the same problem but managed to hide it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they announced "canucks pick from the London Knights, Olli Juolevi" man was I pissed. Tkatchuk was pretty consistent the 3rd best player in the class pretty much all year, some even had him at #2 and we passed him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really buy the injuries excuse when a guy like Chychrun who was injured going into his draft year, is looking like a Norris calibre defensemen, right now.
