'They did go off the board at the time. Most mock drafts didn't even have him going as the top defenceman.

So bleacherreport (not exactly a great source) had him at #8...and picking him at #5 is 'off the board'? Bob Mckenzie had him at #6, as did Sportsnet. You can find just as many rankings that have Sergachev as the top dman available as their was Chychrun...but most still had Juolevi. Tkachuk wouldve been the better pick obviously, but in no way did Benning go 'off the board' by picking Juolevi where he did.
