no but Timmins has a track record with the draft.

I will still enjoy the playoffs for it is with the Habs in it. I think a losing culture is very bad for mtl young players.

Is Cholowski officially a bust? Still young, some D take awhile... same with Juolevi in Vancouver, he's finally healthy now, still time for him to turn it around

I never liked the Cholowski pick. I'd say he's a bust. Kris Draper said he had an "elite hockey IQ." Sure. Maybe in the BC junior league he did. But not in the NHL. He doesn't seem to have the drive or confidence to improve.

I used to watch Juolevi in London when he played for the Knights. I always thought he benefitted from being on a stacked Knights team. He might turn into something yet if he can stay healthy.

Yes. Juolevi is just a 5-6 guy with no special gifts who got taken too early on a whim.

Really? You don't think there's top 4 potential at all in Juolevi?

Never did, even when healthy. He does nothing expertly. He's a good skater, good puck mover, good decision maker, but doesn't do anything great. He can't run a PP because other guys are more dynamic, he can't run a PK because he's too soft and not fast or tough enough (depending on the style of PK). He's like Travis Dermott or Olli Maatta. Guys who can play obviously, but don't do anything really important other than exist.

It was Doug Henning (1947-2000) ... a canadian "fruitcake magician" from the 70's. He was on TV (with rabbit ears) during that period.
