Dazzle Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 1 hour ago, BCNate said: Here is what his coach said last week: A summary: - He's been outstanding with handling the situation. - It was hard to lose him after he was having a great year last year. - Off to a great start again. - Playing a ton of minutes. - People here on the west would be pleasantly surprised in the evolution of his game and what he has added to his repertoire. - First guy over the boards on PK, leads team in blocked shots on PK, horse in different areas, part of the PP, does a lot of great things. - The way he moves the puck, his hockey sense is ELITE. - Wasn't sure what was going to happen with hip issue, thankfully it was nothing major. - Olli really enjoys playing the game right now and is thriving and fits into the positive culture of kids that are in Utica. - This is the beset RJ has seen Olli mentally and physically. Doesn't scream bust to me. Joulevi will be a solid top 4 for us. He was always going to be a longer term project, everyone knew that when we drafted him, injuries have just pushed that back. He is 21 years old with 3 years pro experience and is a smart player with size and strong skating, way too soon to write him off. People who actually care about Juolevi's progression are the ones who will care about his PROS and CONS to his development. It's clear to me that people like Fred65 and Drakrami are ONLY interested in the cons, so much so that they'll exaggerate the cons. Fred65 has been rambling about Juolevi's minuses all thread long, regardless of the fact that he's been refuted several times over. He obviously doesn't care about Juolevi. He just wants to bash him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he even played an NHL game yet? How do you know he won't get called up and pot 40 pts for the rest of the year? Your logic is just AMAZING in trying to bash Juolevi. The real answer is: NO ONE KNOWS. If you think you know Juolevi won't make it, you are rather presumptuous. No legitimate insider has ruled out Juolevi from ever making it to the NHL. Might not be this year but he'll get a long look next year, that's for sure. He's also only 21. Edited December 17, 2019 by Dazzle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joulevi isn’t an NHL prospect. you can tell a lot about someone’s knowledge of a player when they screw up the spelling. It’s really weird because it’s easy to see the spelling on stats websites.. those things that you watch instead of actually watching him play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be quite a good team right now. My jaws just dropped when we drafted Juolevi instead of Tkachuk, never expected it to happen since Tkachuk was such an obvious choice. The story on Juolevi has yet to be written, so wipe your chin... er, both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I hope he gets called up soon. I know because of injuries he hasn't played much but they gotta get him some playing time up here. We need to see what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to improve his skating before he should be asked to suffer the abuses offered in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High and Inside Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 People just need to get over that draft. The draft is far from a guarantee and mistakes happen. Benning easily won the 2017 draft and his other years are pretty good too. We got lots of NHL players in the pipeline..Pod, Lind, Rathbone,Madden, Diepetro just to name a few. All but one of those wasn’t drafted in the first round which is incredible. So just suck it up and let’s calm down and let OJ play and maybe he will become a top 4 still. If not we’ll so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 exactly. Boston struck gold in 2014 with Pastknark pick, but blew it badly in 2015. New York Islanders blew it bad also in 2014 with Dal Cole. 5th overall. Edmonton &^@#ed up in 2016 also with Pool Party 4th overall. At least Olli didn't request a trade, he's willing to work his game in our system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
