For those of us who aren’t going to get around the athletic paywall, here is what was written about his game last year in the EliteProspects draft guide:
> Persistence defines Julien’s game. He never gives up on a play. He always takes the extra stride to get next to the opponent and skates through their hands to win body positioning. Well-timed pokes and stick lifts eliminate threats in his own zone. While Julien’s defence drives his game, there’s offensive upside here. By entering every touch with a couple of scans, he quickly advances pucks to the next teammate.

would be fascinating to hear the orgs thought process on drafting him
took a major flier on him and then he takes a major step
i think he’ll still be CHL eligible next year so wonder if he stays for his overage year or jumps to the A

Had the pleasure to meet him a few times and watch him play here in London. He is wicked smart and is in my top 3 favorites on an already stacked Knights team.

I’m pretty sure Julien just missed the cut off for this years draft by 3 or 4 days, making him one of the youngest players drafted in 2023.

Man I love our draft and develop model. There must be a lot of other teams jealous of our success.
Can’t wait for next season.
Go Jets GO.
On a side note GO Dallas.
Been a fan since the begging and it will be a cold day in hell before I cheer on the oilers.
