ISS had him at 11 and future considerations had him at 12. It is insane how over rated Juolevi became because of a WJC that was stacked. Sergachev was OHL defenseman of the year, bigger, more physical, and put up better numbers on a team that was nowhere near as good. Juolevi had 9 points in 7 WJC games where JP (17 points) Aho (14 points) and Laine (13 points) were 1,2,3 in scoring. The following year he had 2 points in 6 games. Sergachev and Chychrun didn't play. I remember when Hodgson lead the WJC in scoring with 16 points in 6 games and Schroeder was 4th with 11 in 6 - we thought we had legit superstars haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning saw OJ at the world juniors and that became his guy. He overruled our scouts who had spent years charting the prospects. Benning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
