I'm digging up this thread in 4 Years.
I'm sure there's threads from past years you can dig up right now.
Good to know. Didn't know much about him until reading other people high on him.
Still though, Benning is the idiot.
"Juolevi will play in the NHL". Seriously? That is your opinion of the unanimously rated top defenseman in this draft? You believe that he tops out at being an NHL player? Unbelievable the criticism that this pick is taking, simply unbelievable.
I'm not even a fan of the Linden-Benning-Weisbrod management team at all, but reading comments like these make it abundantly clear that many canucks fans have become embarrassingly illogical when analyzing management decisions.
I cannot get over the Juolevi hate at number 5. He was phenomenal all-year, the canucks have been absolutely starved for top-pairing dmen for decades, it is the most valuable position in hockey (along with centre), and he would have certainly gone within 2 spots if we hadn't have taken him there.
To all of you saying we should have taken someone other than tkachuk or juolevi at 5, you are either trying to find ways to criticize management or you are in your own universe entirely.
The Canucks will never, ever have a good draft because everyone will always complain about who we picked in the 7th round.
Tongue in cheek, but seriously, there seem to be a lot of experts on here all up in arms over a name that sounds familiar (Ronning). I actually voted 'no' in the poll; I think we had an average draft (or slightly below average) but not a terrible one.

Can the team please hire this guy, jesus.5: Matthew Tkachuk
33: Jonathan Dahlen
63: Cam Dineen (Abramov/Fox excellent here)
93: Victor Mete/Linus Lindstrom
140: Jesper Bratt
154: Matthew Philips
184: David Bernhardt
194: David Quenneville (HM Jake Ryczek/Ty Ronning/Otto Somppi/Tim Wahlgren/Linus Weissbach)
Italicized are the trade picks and what i would have done with them if we had them.
Lol, don't look at the others, because it gets worse. I've definitely made some bad choices over the years. I did the most videos during this draft season, so i watched more than usual.Can the team please hire this guy, jesus.

This aged well!Super stoked with this draft!! Very happy with Juice at 5 and it sounds like the others may have some building blocks that could help.
Benning is much smarter than me though!
Looks like I was the second 'yes' vote above.
I think if we can get one of the second or third tier ufas next week we'll achieve our goal!
So did this........your post......June 27..2016..This aged well!
Okay. So I still would have done better than Jimbo? Chychrun is a #3 defender on the top team in the division.So did this........your post......June 27..2016..
"personally I would have probably taken chychrun over tkachuk, was never really that high on him. im way more upset that pool party went to edmonton than i am of us taking juolevi over tkachuk. I think if everything goes right for juolevi he can turn into a lindholm try defender which is a borderline #1."
Honestly, I don't care...but one shouldn't throw stones who live in glass houses.Okay. So I still would have done better than Jimbo? Chychrun is a #3 defender on the top team in the division.
Now look at my 2014 “so you think you can draft” Canucks would have had Ehlers, Barbashev, Demko and Brayden Point if they just trusted a 17 year old instead of their GM.

I didnt expect you would...whatever man....This is very surprising coming from someone who wants a career to be in TV/Radio Sports media...Good luck with thatAgain, I don’t see your point the guy I wanted is tracking into a #2 defender.
