There’s a good chance they would’ve taken Juolevi and the Canucks would’ve been choosing between Tkachuk and Dubois.
But now, our 2 rivals got the 2 worst players in the top 6. I actually think Tkachuk is closer to the Laine / Matthews level than most think.

I think Brian Burke was talking about how Calgary was looking to trade into 3rd for Puljujarvi on the TV the other night.
Edmonton was apparently thinking of trading out for Sergachev before Jesse fell.
Vancouver might have ended up with Juolevi regardless.
