Are you asking if I don't like european players? Just the opposite, I tend to think North American players are overated by scouts. I have watched a few games of the kid now and I am not impressed. He could work out but we can't afford a gamble with our pick. Especially since Juolevi doesn't look like he will be a top pairing dman.

I know you’re prejudice. I saw you eyeball in me last time I was on Walmart.


I think Boqvist, like Hughes is high risk or high reward. As far as Juolevi goes you’re wrong he will be fine.

FYI this is in my file.

#Canucks 2016 NHL draft.

Olli Juolevi - signed.
William Lockwood - not signed yet
Cole Candella - won't sign
Jakob Stukel - won't sign
Rodrigo Abols - lost his rights
Brett McKenzie - won't sign

Better hope that Lockwood signs and makes the NHL otherwise this draft is just ordinary.

OJ alone makes this a solid draft, Lockwood can be a Hansen type for us

Play Demko and Nilsson on the Canucks?

Tank to obvious?

Craig Button said montreal should take him 3rd overall today.

He had a really good U18. Being compared (playing style) to Anze Kopitar. Bouchard and boqvist and Hughes have question marks with various things (size, skating, defense, etc).

Button is like McGuire he picks his monster and then goes full hardon for him.

I watched the last 2 Finland games. Rasmus Kupari has a higher upside.

MTL should swap picks with us and take him at 7.

Ty Carol...awesome as usual...the best


Cull did an amazing job with the revolving door of players & injuries. Lots can be said about our prospect pool JB has built up helping Utica. Good signs & can only get better. Utica is a fantastic fan base & is a strength for us.

Button had virtanen in the 2nd round. Just saying.

Also means only so many contracts to go around. Its all fluid in the end.

His draft looks like a Pronman special. Literally hit and miss over and over again.

A year or 2 in Utica is fine.

Carol, I said before the playoffs started that it was going to be a VGK-NSH Western Conference Final, nothing I've seen so far would cause me to go back on that. My Eastern Final of WSH-TBL is shaky.

for real?

I said lack of vitamin D could be a factor. It may be training regimen. Van is one of the lighter/ softer team in the league

JV & Gads if he makes it help. Drafting skills & speed is stage one. Needing D still a priority. Your point is mixed in on the process & IMO not a focus. Team toughness is my answer.

If you don't know what you are talking about... try not to butt in or read back first.

Habs should trade down to pick him unless they use their 2nds to move up. They have a nice group of picks for options.

Utica fans of course a strength.
What more could we want from them?

Nah my mistake. JV & Gads are soft & light.
Take it to pm if you want privacy. 👋

So drafting speed and skill and D being a priority has something to do with the injuries happening in Vancouver?
