Windsor isn't better than the Knights. Regular season and the playoffs proved that. Both teams are quite deep with offensive talent, neither has a significant edge.

Sorry I meant in that they have the more recognizable names. Idk them as a team in general, but a lot of good prospects on Windsor

Yeah London is surprisingly deep. I feel like people spoke of them as if they took a massive step back and they did in losing Tkachuk, Dvorak, and Marner, but they're deeper than people think.
Yeah, Windsor has some more notable names, but in general, they are younger than the notable London guys. London has some very good 19-year-olds with experience in Mitchell Stephens and Parsons and very good veteran overagers in Salituro, McDonald, and Piccinich. Plus, some of their 18-year-olds have made big strides in guys like Pu and Mete. Entering the series I would have gambled on London.
It will be interesting to see how London deals with Erie. These guys have met every year for the last 3 seasons and are in the same division, so there is familiarity. Erie probably has the 2 best players on the ice at the OHL level (Strome and Debrincat). Juolevi is going to see some very tough minutes this round.

I don't think anyone has said he's a bust save for a few very loud, obnoxious outliers. However, for most Canucks fans, myself included, he wasn't the guy we wanted at 5 last year. That was either Tkachuk or Keller, mostly the former.
Reality is that the past season has supported most of the fanbases' initial concern that we made the wrong pick, even if it won't be definitively proven until their careers are wrapped up.
I'll be the first guy to admit that it sucks for Juolevi, because now he's forced to not only live upto expectations of being a top-five pick, but to be a "success" in the eyes of a lot of fans, he has to at least match, if not exceed, the career successes of Tkachuk and Keller.

I'd still be happy as a Canucks fan. If Vancouver went Tkachuk, I was banking on Juolevi or Keller.
Olli will provide a calm presence on the top pairing. People put way too much into junior stat totals.

To be fair, Erie has looked like the better team.
London has Parsons though, so it's anybody's series at this point.

I was happy with the pick from day 1. This team needed a dman and 90 percent of nuck fans went into the season hoping they can tank for chycrun.
But tvh Erie is overwhelming the knights. Parson is bailing them.

Goes to show +- is such a pointless stat. Only 1 goal was from a Juolevi pinch and a deflection, the others no chance just random -
He has been great defensively.
I think he has played over 30 minutes lol
Parsons tho has been amazing this entire series

People are just silly...he will likely be one of the better defenseman this dim franchise has ever seen.

Hamhuis is probably the best defenceman in franchise history. Ohlund had huge upside but eye injury derailed that.
Have to go back to Lumme otherwise imo
