As usual, people completely disregard the injuries that derailed oj's career early on

Numbnuts on this board had the audacity to say we should have drafted Kopitar when Bourdon was killed. I think they were banned though, although they likely found their way back.

CDC man…anything is always up for grabs to dredged back into “relevance”, hah

Yep even this thread has nothing to do with Juolevi and still gets brought up. Some here need to learn no gm is perfect even in the top 10. Get over it.

 

Brian Lawton

Alexandre Daigle

Patrick Stefan

Nail Yakupov

etc. 
 

And those are just 1st overall examples of misses.

I...owe him nothing.

 

He chose who he chose, so be it.  Every team drafting top 10 hits or misses that's a fact of life.

 

But if Calgary starts a rebuild with "the guy everyone says they'd have chosen" and makes bank on his return, then also makes bank off of other assets as well and manages a faster turn around than Vancouver has with the assets they have (imagine trading Markstrom and Tanev for good/great returns as well) the crying from this forum will be deafening.

 

It's a very very real possibility as well.  LA did it in 4-5 years or less.  Anaheim 4 years or less.  Our division has teams that have turned things around quickly and Calgary has the assets on hand to do the same as well

Yeah if they can do it correctly and turn it around in 3-4 years while we're floundering around with deadweight contracts and no prospects or assets making a push I'll be severely pissed me thinks.

That seems dumb.

 

Tkachuk played 6 years for the Flames, he is just using his contracted right to play where he want S for the lady half of his career.

 

Even ignoring all that, take a look at the assets Calgary will have from that pick vs. What Vancouver does.  Still much smarter to pick Tkachuk and no one owed Benning an apology for screwing up another top ten pick.

What do you mean Anaheim did it. They have magic beans and a bad team still. Too soon jr!

I'd want out of Canada too. Half your salary going to taxes or keep most of that half in your pocket...hmm, tough call for sure.

This has been shot down on 32 thoughts an agent said with the right investments and advice as well as endorsement deals players can make as much or more than a no tax state.

The thing is, it wasn’t a screwed up pick until he got hurt AFTER being drafted. Lot of revisionist history going on. Jake was a more egregious miss than Juolevi wadr.

NJ would love to have him.

 

Bratt or Severson plus Tatar plus pick to Calgary.

Anyway you look at it, Calgary is going to be a diminished team next season. You don't just take 220 points out of a lineup and not have a falloff. There is no one player that Calgary would trade Tkachuk for who would meet either Gaudreau or Tkachuk's production.
