I am excited about all the Canucks' defensive prospects to varying degress, but the one that tops the list is Juolevi. The guy was a 5th overall pick…the Canucks can't give up on him by default because he was drafted so high. I trust that the Canucks scouts must have seen something in this kid to draft him ahead of players who are already established in key roles with their teams. If Juolevi turns out to be a bust, then so be it, but until he shows that he can't play in this league, I will remain hopeful. Thanks Clay and stay safe!
I have the highest hopes for Juolevi (naturally with his draft position and promise shown before injury) while I'm cautious of Rafferty (could become not much more than depth? Wouldn't mind a Marc Andre Bergeron tho he's a wildcard).
If Woo pans out as a rugged two way guy as he was projected I'd be happy. Haven't seen Rathbone much but down to be pleasantly surprised

Great vid bud
Im just happy to hear someone talking about Canucks hockey.. there just is not any content out there.
Time to give the prospects some rope. A guy named Chris Tanev stepped in and never looked back.
Juolevi will be a top 4 probably look good next year
