Olli Juolevi for Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko
Pretty much every ranking outside of Benning's circle, CSS had him 16th with Chychrun, Sergachev, Bean and Fabbro ahead of him for D, ISS had him 11th behind Chychrun and Sergachev.Which rankings were those? Juolevi was pretty much a consensus #6. Passing on Tkachuk was an obvious miss but Juolevi was no reach.
I think we already traded that pick for Jeff Skinner...Somis
So is Dave Babych, should we draft him in the top five in 2023 ?
Oh man, wish Juulsen was better, though Juolevi's looked weak himself (plus have you seen his bag skate?). Thanks for the input on Lammikko.

Don't get caught up by the schtick.
Much of the canucks boards are so full of vitriol towards Benning that occasionally some of them branch out by arguing in bad faith against their own opinions 'ironically'.
It's a weird performance for an audience of nobody, but if it makes them happy...

Panther fans have a serious advantage. Two former Panthers, and OJ is in our blood.

Canucks nation hates Benning because of his terrible record with free agents, his terrible record with trades, his terrible record with all asset management, the fact that he pulled a power move to get Linden fired by saying the team was further ahead in its rebuild than Linden thought and then goes on to continue to lose. Fans hate Benning because he ran out of time to get Toffoli locked up for 4 years @ $4.25 and let Tanev walk without a conversation after 8 seasons. Canucks fans Hate Benning because in 8 seasons they have made the playoffs once. His 4 of 6 1st round picks where all high picks because his team, his asset management and his cap manipulation was so poor, and besides these 4 picks where are the rest of the draft assets? he started his tenure with 56 picks, and drafting is his best attribute. The previous regime also had more presidents trophies than Benning has playoff appearances. Fans hate Benning because failure and excuses don't win Stanley Cups.Canucks nation hates Benning cause he’s only hit on 4 out of 6 first round picks, while his predecessors only got 2 bona fide NHL players out of the previous 10 first rounders.
2016 NHL Draft Rankings
Here's a good overview. No need to cherry pick.
Trust me, you don't know the disappointment we Nuck fans went through that draft.What an absolute bust Juolevi has been. And to think Matthew Tkachuk was taken the pick right after. A truly epic botch job by the Canucks

This sums up everything.
The more concerning issue I would add is ownership failing to realize they have hired a potato for GM in these 8 years.
Did we really get something back for him though?I'm surprised the Van got something for Juolevi considering the way some Van fans were shit-talking him

We still haven't seen Juolevi play in Florida.
Have the other two done anything yet?
