Here's the Draft Analyst on his opinion of Juolevi vs Chychrun in a thread on HF about them
"Juolevi has had brutal games. He's held to a different standard by the media. Don't know why. But it might boil down to one guy being a safe pick and the other guy being a risk, but anyone who's watched Chychrun all season knows he's capable of playing a safe/smart game. It's such BS. Chychrun was knocked for his offense in the first half. So what does he do? His production explodes. What do they do? Call him risky and a low IQ.
To me, Chychrun IS the best defenseman because he can do either or. He can play a shutdown role or carry the offense on his back. Juolevi does neither. He's never been asked to. He's a vanilla prospect who does a lot of things well, but when did Hunter ever ask Juolevi to change the momentum of a game or season? Chychrun has.
To me, it's inconceivable how analysts have soured on him. They either watched him play once or twice or are just using the TPG/U18 as the end-all, be-all. It's one thing to say Chychrun dropped because of other forwards. Perfectly understandable. To say Chychrun has been passed by other dmen in his draft class is straight up bananas."

If the Flames scouts feel the same way then I think Chychrun would be the other player in our top 6.
