b3. Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hopefully he isn't looking like JV last year. If not, this will be an interesting training camp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hopefully that weight was gained steadily throughout the year. I don't think Juolevi's body type would allow him to gain weight that quickly given he is a bit more slender. Camp sure will be fin to watch.

Derp... Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 OJ drinking those milk shakes. Stoked for him to have the strength to compete in the corners more though. I'm sure that will help him regardless of where he plays next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) 6'3" 200 lbs and it's only July 1st. If there's a lot of fat in that weight he has a good two months to cut his body fat % down and get lean. He could surprise at camp and earn a #6 spot, but I wouldn't be upset if they sent him back for another year in London. We'll see how this summer and training camp plays out for him.

flickyoursedin Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I think Jim plans on letting his prospects gain confidence in every league before rushing them to the show just to appease fans. We've seen it destroy so many top prospects. Happened pretty recent with us in Virtanen and McCann whom both are struggling to get back on track. We have enough NHL ready blue liners that there really is no need to rush Juolevi! As of right now we have Tanev, Edler, Stetcher, Hutton, Gudbranson, MDZ, Weirchioch, Holm and Pedan. Then there's guys like McEneny and Subban in Utica. So let's give Juolevi another year or two to refine his skills and build some more confidence in his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, unless Benning makes some trades I can see him sending Juolevi to Finland. Also think our guys like Boeser, Goldy, Virtanen, Dahlen should start their seasons in Utica. Give our kids some extra experience before rushing them into the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 OJ at 200lbs? Let's see him play in the OHL at that weight. He should be able to dominate that league in a convincing fashion before making the jump to the NHL/AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitnTie Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Looks like he really wants to make the team, good for him. But I don't see how he fits into the lineup this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehd Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Let's hope with that extra weight he hasn't lost a step. If he is lean and still quick, look out cause he could very well be on the team. I do not like the idea of sending him back to junior, but we shall see come training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see JB parting with Hutton personally. The future of our D is pretty bleak at this point however after next years draft things may change.
