I agree. Now it's damned if you do and damned if you don't with respect to taking some time and doing it properly.
The difference between Tkachuk and Juolevi is pretty slight. I'd bet money that some teams have Juolevi higher. One of the only major differences is when they're expected to contribute.
But they won't win a god damned thing in their McDavid window if they don't get some top pairing d-men. And says here that outside of trading Hall, this pick is their best chance to do so.
