How's this for some hearsay, Canucks fan apparently talks to GM Benning after their town hall mtg
"Went to townhall this morning, managed to talk to Benning afterwords for a little bit. I asked him out of the big three dmen which one he preferred. He liked Juolevi and rated him the highest of the threefor his smarts and calmness, likes sergachev's upside, and really didn't complement chychrun other than his NHL ready body."
Could be invented but knowing Benning and him running his mouth it wouldn't surprise me if he did blab this to a fan.
What is confirmed from that town hall meeting is:

Benning says for Chychrun's size, he can "skate like the wind". But says Matthews and the two Fins are top-3 in draft. Then next group.

Benning: We haven't drafted a dman in 10years in the 1st round. All things being equal, if there's a dman we like, we'll lean that direction
Unless they are really spreading some misinformation it sounds like they'll take a d-man if they don't win one of the lotteries and one of the top guys is left for them.
