Vancouver Canucks: Why Olli Juolevi is not the No. 1 Prospect

While some teams got to stock up their prospect pools with multiple picks in the top-three rounds of the 2016 NHL Draft, the Vancouver Canucks only owned one first and one third. On the bright side, their first pick of the draft was in the top five overall, and they got a potential top-pairing defenseman in Olli Juolevi. The question that remains is: does Juolevi beat goalie Thatcher Demko and Brock Boeser to the No. 1 spot in the system?

Of course that question isn’t necessarily important, as long as all three make the NHL and play important roles for the Vancouver Canucks.
