BCNate Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think the fact that he was not that noticeable last night is a very good thing. If he plays a quiet game, I think he is playing his role perfectly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did appear to be heavy on the walls and in net front. He needs to play more, and then he will get more confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he could be a very reliable 3rd pairing D going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Juolevi develops defensively as he should we could see a solid LD lineup in 2-3 years of... Hughes Juolevi Brisebois Rathbone Trade Hutton for a similar calibre D thats a right shot and boom we're looking good. Maybe a trade with Chicago considering their wealth of RD prospects currently. Mitchell or Jokiharju would be nice. Hutton for Jokiharju? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 He has looked really smooth so far. Not out of place at all. The Brisebois-Tanev pairing has been our best pairing so far and IMO Brisebois has been one of our best defenseman so far. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Breezy has looked like he's ready. He still goes down but it's nice to see there are legitimate NHL defenders to call up when injuries hit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 D depth is looking real good Juolevi - Biega Brisebois - Rafferty Teves - Chatfield Sautner Tryamkin* (possibly for the playoffs?) Not a bad list of callups, when one of the Canucks regular D goes down. If they pair Tanev with Hughes as a second tandem, Tanev might actually stay relatively healthy this year (not having to block every shot against every teams' top line). With Hughes, my guess is the Canucks will retain puck possession. Don't need to block shots when you have the puck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The game against the Oilers was the best game I've seen Brisebois play. He looked relaxed and in control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked relaxed and in control I think either Brisbois or Sautner might surprise and stick for awhile. Maybe Sautner as he cannot be waived and JB might think it worth giving him a longer look. Either way both will be high on the recall list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up as our 7th d man by seasons end. We have a slew of guys that are battling for a spot on our bottom pairings and bottom forward lines. Sautner, Biega, Fattenburg, Breezer, Teves, Rafferty and OJ.... Competition and depth. Essential for this team to turn the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
