"Salo said Juolevi will need to focus on body language.

Wait, what?

“He has a tendency sometimes to look like he’s disinterested, even though he’s not,” Salo said. “Body language is very important in the NHL."

Why You Need To Find Out If You Are Lazy Or You Are Disinterested

This was very noticeable when I saw him play against the Marlies. The way he moved around the ice between whistles reminded me of a teenager being yelled at to go clean their room.

Medical specialists are making a killing off the Canucks pretty much every year. The worst of it usually ties in with the schedule, the real problem though is the importance of the players to the team that seem to get injured.  Not wishing any I’ll will on anyone in particular, but why Edler, Tanev, Boeser, Pettersson (hasn’t been the same since), Baertschi, Sutter - seems to pretty much always be key players.  Wonder why?  This team seems to need, more than any other, depth in quality.

The Canucks need new specialists

Yeah, I see the Hamhuis in him in terms of his intelligence and calmness, but Juolevi could end up being a big man that can skate and think while he is skating.  As far as thinking while on the move, the last guy in a Canuck uniform I can remember like that in offensive Q was Paul Reinhart  - the possible size would just be a bonus.  It is the possible blending with his game and Hughes that is really intriguing to me - having two defenders at the same time, that clever, could be really something to see setting up Pettersson and Boeser.

The IQ is the there, OJ is a a smart player who thinks the game. That’s where the disinterested comments come from. He is thoughtful,  and reserved. 

 

I don't see OJ ever playing as physical as Hammer, more like Tanev on defence.

Not sure yet as he is only 20; once he matures, he may develop that part of his game as well. We will have a lot better idea by the time he is 24 / 25 if that is going to be a part of his game or not. I am hoping it is.

If OJ can develop into a physical defender, well that would be awesome. Hope your right.

Yeah, the lazy and disinterested comments remind me of one of the smartest players ever to wear a Canucks uniform: Larionov. He often looked that way and almost never seemed to be in a hurry, but he was invariably in the right place at the right time and always made the best play available to him. Hopefully OJ is lazy and disinterested in the same way Igor was.

Funny if you are producing you are called a smart, efficient player.  As soon as production drops you are called lazy and disinterested (especially if you are Russian).  

That is the way of the NHL.

Rosenhek at the Canuck Way is speculating that Olli flew to Vancouver to see if his knee needs surgery or not.  If yes, that probably ends his season :(

That guy just spits out theories for click bait, not credible really but hey you never know. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Lets hope that isn't the case. We all hope to see him back healthy and playing again, eventually with the big club.

"______ is a good all-round defenseman that has solid hockey sense and a good skillset. He's a good passer, can be a puck mover and possess a very good shot from the point. The young blueliner has a complete game with minor weaknesses but also doesn't have a standout talent either. He has good size and solid skating but needs to play more physically down low and in front of his net. ______ projects as a possible top-four defenseman at the NHL level."

 

anyone else think this snippet from hockeysfuture sounds like a decent description for juolevi, and any guesses as to who it might actually be?

Sounds like a Predator to me of the Josi variety ;)
