They talk about how crappy and worthless OJ is and always will be, how he is a complete bust, etc., etc. Do you perhaps not understand what a whipping boy is? Juolevi 21,6'3 will be a top 2-3 D man very very soon..If not for knee injury last year he would of played in Vancouver for last 40 games.. In 18GP in Utica 13 points and over 20 mins of ice time...Just bad luck with injuries hope he has a healthy season 2019-20... The young man is a great skater and good vision and will be in top 4 D in Vancouver very soon..Might be biggest surprise for this season.. Hope we don't trade Juolevi before he shows Vancouver fans he was the right pick at #5.... Exciting times and lets be patient we have some great block in place under 24. Pettersson- Boser - Horvat - Hughes - Demko - Podkolzin------ Close to core Virtanen, Juolevi, Good support players, J.T Miller 26, Leivo,26, Stetcher 24, Pearson 26----- Older player Myers, Edler, Markstrom very good vets.. Very excited about this season, break out seasons, Hughes, Lievo, Virtanen, Juolevi and Demko will give fans lots to get excited about.. Exciting season... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18W-40C-6W Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I am really looking forward to seeing this kid healthy, bigger, more experienced in camp. I do think he'll be sent down to get his legs under him but expect him to be the first call and likely with the big club by mid season. I hope he shows well in camp, and pushes the team to think hard about sending him down. Always loved this pick and I think this is they year he shows the bashers, and diaper wearing fans who think a player must break in at 18, how good he is and how valuable a pick he was (especially given the state of our defensive pipeline).

higgyfan Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 We don't even know if Olli will make the team this year, although I'm sure the Canucks will do everything they can to make it happen. Two rookie dmen in one season will be an adventure; especially in the top 4. At the moment, my preference is Edler Meyers Hughes Tanev Benn Stecher Biega Of course, we all know that injuries will happen, so there will be plenty of call ups from Utica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The splashes and swirls down a makeshift hole in toilet and down the pipes is definitely a story especially if you clog the toilet. You'd probably have to start a thread on cdc about how you did it at your girlfriend's place and need help to unclog it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanuck94 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have a strong feeling the succession plan is to have Juolevi take over for when Tanev is traded and that will be done before December, whether that is during the summer or during that portion of the season. I say this because I think the Benn signing had a lot to do with this, where Benn will take over Tanev's spot on the right side and Juolevi will be given time to grow into the NHL game on the bottom pair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus that is just a weird line up. No offence. Edler is not getting 3rd pairing minutes. Myers will probably play with Edler as he needs a steady strong D good at actual defense. Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Benn Stecher Edit: If OJ actually shows he can play 3rd pairing minutes by Xmas then maybe: Edler Myers Hughes Benn OJ Stecher ...trade Tanev if he isn't dead...lol.

It is like some posters have not read the scouting reports about Myers needing a solid defensive D man to play with. You don't put him with Hughes if that is the case. Your line up is much more realistic than that other one imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to stop acting like he doesn’t know how to play in his own end Regardless, Edler and Meyers are the best two players to start off with top pairing minutes against the top lines in the NHL. Hughes will no doubt be a great dman, but he is a rookie this year and should in no way be playing on the top pair until he's ready. He will likely get ++PP minutes and middle pairing minutes alongside Tanev (who can help out if Quinn runs into any trouble defensively). Having Benn on the 3rd pair with Stecher will afford Troy the opportunity to continue working on his offensive skills. I believe this would be a very balanced d and would offer a decent defender + offensive defender on each line. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
