Rumor: Juolevi available

[Empoleon8771]

It's a joke people, I thought it was fairly obvious

 

[Jetabre]

Probably joke.......But Benning, so could be real too.

If there is any truth to this, JVR would definitely be in play in a base deal. The additional pieces would probably be insignificant enough for it not to hinder any sort of deal.

In fact, if this is the direction they want to go down (which is a totally different monster), it would be a fair value proposition for both teams.

Except JVR doesn't need to be in this deal if the price in the OP is accurate

 

[Sabreality]

so stupid. not every 'joke' is thread worthy, good grief

 

[Benstheman]

Man i can't believe some post serious comments on that thread...

 

[One Winged Angel]

If this is real, Gorton better get in on this IMMEDIATELY.

Edit: If it's sarcasm, then why even bother saying it? Don't get that.

Yeah that tweet from Chris Tierney about a "Cal Clutterbuck type" is clearly a joke.

The original one seems to be real though:

 

[KingCanadain1976]

if true dean should be all over it I would love the kid in la

 

[Avs44]

The fact that people can read that tweet and not realize how it is practically screaming "Joke!" is kind of sad. The author is so blatantly making fun of Benning by mocking his love of grinders, late picks, and piling on to his incompetence with "surprise me!"

 

[BB88]

I doubt it.

How did people cope with sarcasm before the sarcasm emoji?

 

[Sundinisagod]

really that return is terrible for a recent (like 5 month ago) 6th overall. Jvr plus from the leafs I would be thinking (I know I know, no one wants JVR). too bad we don't have a grinding pest with a scoring touch or too bad it isn't last year when Komarov was performing wayyyyy above his head

Kadri

 

[Walshy7]

Kadri

oh yeah of course but I consider him much more valuable than a grinding pest, imagine Vancouver trading for him now?

 

[Walshy7]

How did people cope with sarcasm before the sarcasm emoji?

more an indictment on Benning than anything, people wouldn't be shocked to see him do a deal like this so no one took it for sarcasm

 

[WesMcCauley]

Was recently at a Knights game Juolevi didn't stand out enough to me as a Top 5 pick, but that being said it's still early in the season. Could've been an off game he played fairly passive but when he's playing aggressive and confident he can be very dangerous in the offensive zone. Still has 10 pts in 12 games right now.

I would think the "surprise me" needs to be significant

I say it at the draft, i would rather have Chychrun over Juolevi. Very surprised Chychrun was available at the 16th pick

 

[Freudian]

When you can't really tell if it's a joke or not because of possible ownership pressure, then it should be worrying for the fans of the team.

I don't particularly like Canucks but I hope Benning hangs on to the best prospects they have.

 

[Redline]

Lol come on. Even Benning isnt this dumb. Thread should be closed

If, you know who, suggested this, there would be pages of mockery but this guy is taken even slightly seriously?
Silliness.

 

[fmrdh]

Drew Stafford.... he's the 20 goal guy you are looking for Benning!

 

[Devourers]

Andrew Shaw (0.1mil retained!!)
3rd round pick 2018
surprise surprise.. David Desharnais

for

Joulevi
5th round pick

Yeah that tweet from Chris Tierney about a "Cal Clutterbuck type" is clearly a joke.

The original one seems to be real though:

I'm referring to the more reliable one in terms of the value. And if it's true that JVR is too muxh, we could always ask for a plus. However I doubt Bozak or Komarov is what they are looking for without a significant plus, and Kadri is likely unavailable.

Normally this would be a joke proposal but honestly with Benning you never know..
