I made this board up about a week ago, waited until the free agent market calmed down to make the video.

Lol Shannon why are you doing this to yourself? Looking forward to a Virtanen video soon
"we fixed it. No you didn't" lol
That made me chuckle
Imagine if we had Sergachev, Chychrun or McAvoy instead of him
Anyone with a brain knew they f*cked up bad by passing on Tkachuk. I remember vividly knowing Vancouver screwed themselves soooo bad. I mean Tkachuk is a game changer, Pettersson nor Hughes will EVER become as good as him.
That rumour of him being a video game addict is just a cherry on top of the “complete botch” the Canucks did that day.
This draft wasn't good for Buffalo. Everyone wanted them to take Sergachev, but they took the other, less notable Nylander.
Octopussy would probably have make better draft picks than Canucks last decade.
DeBrincat in the second round was the biggest steal of the draft.
The Millenium Canucks – they made the Kessel Run in 5 hotdogs
Zboril had the video game additction. He confirmed it in a Czech publication interview
I also remember that 2016 draft didn’t have a lock of a Best dman in the class heading into it. The talk was between Chychrun, Sergachev, Juolevi. So nobody really knew who’d be the first dman off the board.
Chychrun ended up falling which was one of the bigger surprises of the draft. Sergachev would’ve been a better pick for the Canucks, but obviously not better than Matt Tkachuk. Lastly, 2016 draft has 2 of the top 5 dmen in the NHL today in Adam Fox and Charlie McAvoy
Omg I forgot all about the video game addiction thing lmao
any chance we can get a full video on Nolan Patricks career so far now that he's a UFA? I always wanted him to succeed but he had horrible injury luck.
Along with the not going to hyperspace you gotta add Han Solo/Vancouver saying, it's not my fault…
The noise was good, knew exactly where you were going.
Interesting future video topic imo, is who should Winnipeg have taken with perfect hindsight looking back at how both Laine and Dubois worked out for us? You add in Tkachuk bolting for America, and how both Puljarivi and Juolevi's careers have gone…
I think the best bet was probably Tkachuk, and you try to play up his dad being in winnipeg until the franchise moved, the business with his dad losing the C in 1.0 being something that we'd like to correct this time around etc… You play up the connection to the city, but you also playup the fact this is 2.0, and we do things differently, and loyalty and integrity are actually extremely important to this organization… at times it's almost to a fault when you look at Vegas winning the cup this year…
But idk if that would have worked… I still think he bolts out, but there are rumors that say Tkachuk was willing to lock up for 7/8 years in Calgary prior, and management dropped that ball… And I don't think Cheveldayoff in Winnipeg would have missed that opportunity to do so with his 2nd overall pick here… Especially in Winnipeg…The issue was both Laine and Dubois being Laine and Dubois…
There's an argument to be made that Puljarivi could have been the best pick for Winnipeg without having to go almost entirely off the board, going with 7th/8th ranked players and back… And at that point, they should likely just try and trade the pick, and drop down in the first round… Looking back, this is a rough top 10 for most teams below Toronto, but Winnipeg was likely having issues with any one of their potential picks if it wasn't Laine…
So if the draft happens today do you take Tkachuk first over Matthews?
Your 2016 draft live react was how I found you! One of your first 60 or so subs!
still cant believe TKachuk dropped to 5th
So the biggest problem is Green, not a good coach to develop our important 1st round prospects. Fire him is one of the best decisions in Canucks history 😊
Look at Juulsen. Terrible luck when it came to injuries. Getting hit twice on the head in one game.. then developing headaches after which took him out of the game for a year.
I mean….If we take Tkachuk instead of Juolevi, are we bad enough to draft Pettersson next season?
Do one on Tryampkin 😢
That's really an unfortunate story
Okay now I want the cats or bunnies sitting in the cat posts
Pushing buttons like grogu, pushing no or yes buttons
Except one button will be the Millennium Falcon, faltering sound😅
With the 5th pick the Vancouver Canucks select London Knights’ defenseman Olli Juolevi…
MASSIVE BOOING FROM THE CROWD They knew it was the wrong choice, why didn’t the Canucks?
Quinn Hughes falling to 7 was the hockey gods throwing the Canucks a bone for the debacle that was Juolevi.
I heared people at one time if I remember correctly calling him the second comming of Lumme… Boy was that person wrong.
When Juolevi had that collapse in practise he had long covid sumptoms. He was interview lately in here Finland about his early career.
Markus Nutivaara retired this season as he refused to enter the rollercoaster of playing under painkillers. Maybe same future for Juolevi?
he was drafted in the wrong round
Do a breakdown on how important and franchise altering the Canuck’s signing blueger is- from a pens fan 🙁
As a Canadiens fan, I can see history repeating itself with Reinbacher going ahead of Leonard. But staying positive
I feel bad for how we talk about Juolevi. He was a reach at 6, and injuries and covid got the better of him. If he weren't taken right before Matthew Tkachuk, and his career hadn't been riddled with injuries, we'd likely be singing a completely different tune about OJ. I remember watching him with the Canucks and always being impressed with his decision making. He just couldn't keep up.
