The team is in a state of rebuild so they can take the development time. I hope he busts but at this time the pick isn't as bad as people make it out to be including Canucks fans.

Some fans in London are saying Juolevi is only the 3rd best D on the team this year, consistently looses battles and seems to be a step behind in the defensive zone when up against the top skilled players.
Yes, he could turn into a top pairing but he could also very well be the next Griffin Reinhart or Derrick Pouliot as well. Tkachuk is a sure thing now and probably will end up the 3rd best player in that draft even if Juolevi ends up a top pairing D.
