Guest Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I’m just hoping that he can finish out this season without anymore injuries, and that for the first time in a long time, he can go into the summer with full health. The only contracts that we may move might be Stecher and Schaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is getting to the point of "My Cup Runith Over", not a bad problem to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler makes few hence the coach and if polled most coaches would grade in that manner. Edler is reliable game after game shift after shift ( he has the best +/- on the team LOL ) Coaches feel comfortable seeing him out there. I wish we had more Edler like player at the back end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Everyone likes players who overcome adversity. Benning just happened to draft Juolevi pre-adversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he can score from that far out is going to generate a lot of scoring chances for our team on the rush. I think OJ already has an NHL offence. Looking forward to seeing him soon. Game from yesterday. Really nice accurate shot off the rush. Juolevi has been emerging. Edited January 19, 2020 by Dazzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Good to see him finding some form - especially after having trouble getting over injuries in North America. Hope he can continue to improve as he definitely has some very good qualities to his game that could help us as this team grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dis him anymore he provides so much toughness and in the corner ride your head into the boards play. No one else can do that. People literally don't want to play against him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He earned that stat playing at even strength against the best players that other teams could bring against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was the poster who stated that when a Canuck prospect has a low plus minus, he is a bust, regardless of context or sample size.

Tre Mac Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Nagging injuries isn't a good sign especially when you haven't made the big leagues yet. His durability might be what holds him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His durability might be what holds him back. Already has held him back and like you have stated, will likely continue to be a problem throughout his career. Olli will probably have to spend every offseason making sure he is in tip top condition if he wants to have a long career. Thankfully, he will have the top trainers to guide and educate him what he needs to do to ensure that he can avoid injuries as much a possible.

Kushman Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Just out of curiosity, are there any notable examples of young players that had injury problems early on (before making the nhl) that went on to have long and health nhl careers?

Jack Eichel is a fresh example as he kept having ankle injuries that derailed his young career. Now he seems to be on track to be a force for Buffalo. Career is still young for him but he sure was snake bitten to start out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
