I hope he has a great career. Here's the BUT. so far he hasn't shown that in the game we can judge him by. He's here for at least a further 2 season. I judge him by what he does rather than what we'd like him to be. It's the old if quacks, waddles and swims chnaces are it's a duck. Other may wish to project, dream AND trot out excuses again and again. Me … I'll go with the Duck theory Ducking the issue on him are you ? I get that he has been a lame duck Maybe he will get his ducks in a row and he will take to a duck in water when he gets to the NHL? Some will cry Fowl with your theory and say Give me a beak and duck that to your duck theory I will wait myself, before I was impatient, frustrated and gave up at one point Now it will be a bonus if he pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the literal sense of the word, I guess you can say the same about his age and his poor defensive record But combined together and offered by the same posters again and again they sound awfully like excuses to me Trumpifications....it's rampant outside of the prospects threads...kids on the Canucks talk can't or won't read and can't write without degrading acronyms....

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Oli is going to be a more offensive Edler...he will mature into a player that makes less mistakes and doesn't get rattled on botched pinches or pressure in the D. zone like Edler does.....he won't hit as much but he will score more goals and get pucks through towards the net better than Edler.... Oli can play the PP better than Edler now...but he will never hit as hard as Edler Oli needs to get his whole body healthy and working as one...this Knee injury is tied to the Back injury is tied to the Hip injury...stiffness...etc....HAS to end one day and a healthy Oli will be all those things... Just Watch..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Fist Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 14 hours ago, BCNate said: 7 points in his last 8, while being +5. Obviously a small sample size, but looks like he is turning it on a bit as of late. Hope he can keep it up, probably his best stretch of games he's had in Utica. Jordan Subban wouldve put up 12 points in 8 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Utica in a 6-5 OT win Juolevi finishes with an assist and +2. He has not on the ice for any goal against. That brings his season totals 31 Games Played, 1 Goal, 15 Assists, 16 Points, -5 and 18 PIMs Edited January 16, 2020 by Junkyard Dog 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great to see him gradually rectifying his weaknesses. He also took a couple of big hits tonight and survived unscathed - hopefully the worst of his health issues are behind him. If he fills out like Edler, we may end up with a 6’3” 220 lb D - much like another D on our team. Be interesting to see if he gains an inkling to hit much like another big Swedish guy on our team.

Maybe first time for that but he has been playing really well lately. You'd think the naysayers who claim to be Canuck fans would be happy to see a prized prospect whos had ups and down doing well for a stretch. Putting up points in the last 10 and playing a better all around game and that oh so important +/- some people fixate on has drastically improved. It's almost as if the kid is finally healthy or something. Go figure that plays a big part in a players development eh. Hope he keeps it up and challenges for a spot next year. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. It appears like he is improving game by game like Lind did last year. He has the smarts and playmaking ability to carry himself over. I just want to see him improve physically enough so that he is capable of utilizing his talent at his best possible level. We might not see him for a while but man I still feel there's potential to pan out. Definitely a darkhorse among our prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally just being smart azz... i couldn't care if he doesn't make the team till he's 25. I just hope all prospects get their shot at the NHL and not all will. Long ago i gave up on trying to understand the drafting/scouting process and why some do make it and why some don't, i just wish the best to all. Do you get to watch the AHL games? If so how much does it cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I read and think this could be a fair outllook of our defence if a - No1 defenceman is a two-way defenceman who you want on the ice in any situation - No2 is a defenceman who you want on the top PP as an offensive specialist, but maybe he doesn't play the PK; he might get more points than the No1 but will have the lower +/- and fewer minutes played - No3 is like the No1 but not elite. Most NHL teams need to rely on a No3 defenceman as their No1, just as Edler is to Vancouver, because that talent is hard to find - No 4 is like the No2 but not elite and has a slightly stronger defensive focus - No 5 is like a No3 but has a slightly stronger defensive focus - No 6 is a defensive specialist with some boom Hughes will prove himself a No2 Edler is a No3 Juolevi's ceiling is No1, but is very likely a No3 Tryamkin ceiling is a No3, but is likely a No5 Woo's ceiling is No3, but is likely a No5 Myers is a No4 Tanev is a No5 Stecher is a No5 Benn is a No6 Fantenberg is a No7 Canucks need to find a No1 defenceman somehow, or be okay with forever playing a No3 on the top pair. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
