The fact that they didn't even talk to Tkachuk in his draft year seems peculiar until you recall the bad blood between Linden and and a contingent of pro Goodenow American star players including Keith Tkachuk going back to Linden's presidency of the PA in the lockout year. I have always suspected lingering hostility between the two of them may have had more to do with them stepping around Matthew at the draft than any scouting blind spot. The pick just seemed so obvious. Speculation of course.

Of course As soon as I heard Tkachuk wasn't interviewed by the Canucks, I thought the same and have said so a couple of times.( I suppose Mathew could have declined an interview but that's unlikely ). The press would likely have picked that up. To not have a chat or touch base with a player rated to fall in the area you are choosing is not business as usual.
When ever JB is asked about the Juolevi pick he always says, "That year we drafted for position".
Maybe some day we find out..................

Yes. And of course it was widely believed that the player they were really after that year was Pierre Luc Dubois.

But that's speculation too

He apparently had folks vetted before they were allowed to post rumours. He has had dealings with the intelligentsia- whoever the fuck that is. He’s really something

“Well I ran a spreadsheet”, “I spoke to the intelligentsia”, “I’m 297 pounds and I’m angry”

Who did Linden throw under the bus and when?

What a grubby little human. This guy actually thinks he knows the inner workings of NHL teams and how the pre draft meetings went and who wanted to pick who. What a delusional little fella. Then again the inbreds on that site pump this miserable cat’s tires nonstop. “He could be a GM in the NHL”.... it’s always humorous to troll that place and start bouncing around MS or pauser. The posts you make carving them are quickly deleted, then all the minions quickly defend MS or pauser and the posters who carved them are turfed.

Read the last few pages of that Brackett thread. The mental gymnastics these inbreds will go through to fuel their hate is astonishing.
