Ah dammit. I was hoping little Fouds would fall to us.

Hometown boy justin sourdif still out there and canucks pick is coming up

Pittsburgh: Trade a goalie
Also Pittsburgh: Draft two goalies



Bonus points for a goalie named CLANG

This is a step up for us - they had highlights for this guy.

I think HOF GMJR only knows how to draft Goalies, if/when he keeps draft picks.
And don't worry they both will be traded at some point next season.

His best friend is his last name.

That's Finnish for Jack Johnson

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Elite prospects had Jurmo at 46

 

[jstewismybastardson]

At least Benning didnt draft his nephew lol

 

[puckhead]

having done absolutely zero research on this draft. I have no opinion on Joni Jurno.
Finnish defenseman, so he must have balls of steel.

Cbj coulda traded their first to the canucks and picked chinacough at 82

I think Jurmo is a great pick in the 3rd for the Canucks. 6'4 and can skate really well. The rest is raw but a lot of potential there.

Jurmo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Juolevi

This was from elite prospects

Jurmo's projectable 6-foot-4 frame and smooth-skating lend itself to covering large swaths of ice and carrying the puck from one zone to the next sometimes effortlessly. His speed makes him one of the best puck-rushers in the Finnish U20 league. He accelerates well when he's already in motion and is a deceptive skater in the neutral zone with crossovers and changes of pace.

Honestly, we probably could have had China Cough in the 4th round.

I think we're gonna regret not grabbing Zary or Lapierre.

 

[esls79]

I’m actually surprised somebody didn’t take Alex Laferriere sooner. Benning missed one here.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Sourdif to the panthers at 87

Bwc > van giants > canucks never seems to work out

Leo Loof is a great name.

 

[puckhead]

he's got some pop to his game

Like that alot. We have guys that Teams are not afraid to take "Runs" at. You need backup
