Juolevi's lack of progress is frustrating.
brutal. how can the organization f*** up a top 10 pick so much?Disaster pick

No team will hit homeruns with all their top picks. The good thing is the more top picks we waste the more we get in the future thanks to the NHL system that rewards losing. In a way it's better for the rebuild that we missed the good players early so we can continue to accumulate more talent through more high picks.
Lind just keeps on producing well Juolevi keeps on sucking. Such frustration well watching Tkachuck tear up the NHL

Haha, my kid used to say this when he was 5 or 6. Would tell me it’s ok if Virtanen wasn’t any good because it would help us get another high pick next year.
Are you 5 or 6 as well?
One of them is....Yay hopefully juolevi can mature, I didn't like the pick because I was so heavily in favour of tkachuck, my only optimism came from Bob McKenzie's opinion of him which created a silver lining from what was an enormously disappointing draft at the top end including getting the first of two lottery shafts
We stink at the 1st round so much
- homeruns like Cody Hodgson end up like crap
-bourdon we will never know RIP
-RJ Umburger trade demand
-Grabner becoming a good player after being given away
-Patrick freakin White
-Virtanen is coming around but the next two picked are already game changers in the NHL now
-Kesler came from a draft where everybody struck gold except New York
Lordy lord

That's really smart for 5-6. Are you sure the kid is yours?

This is crazy logic.No team will hit homeruns with all their top picks. The good thing is the more top picks we waste the more we get in the future thanks to the NHL system that rewards losing.

Yes, the top 10 pick failures over the past few years are extremely disappointing. To me that is the main issue with this regime, much more so than 'asset management', which gets vastly overrated around here.
Virtanen over Ehlers / Nylander
Juolevi over Tkachuk (to be fair I didn't mind this pick, but consensus was most definitely Tkachuk)
On the flip side Boeser and Petterson appear to be both excellent picks, ironically the team f***ed up the easy slam dunk picks in 2014 and 2016 while doing well with what may be considered more challenging picks (in terms of options) in 2015 and 2017. And have to give credit for the later round picks, the team has not had any success with later round draft picks in a very long time.
But missing out on two first line players as a rebuilding team is absolutely devastating.
I'm curious to know hi do you know that Juolevi is sucking now, by looking the stats?Lind just keeps on producing well Juolevi keeps on sucking. Such frustration well watching Tkachuck tear up the NHL

DAhlen w. 2 more goals today for Timra in a win over Modo.
He was unbelieveable again today . Puck possesion , IQ, positioning and finish.
Reminds me alot of Mathew Tkahuks game minus the snarl
