No need for recovery days to build muscle or strength after 2 years of major injuries right? Didn't see your above posts at first, Yeah working out 4-5 times a week along with ice time and dry-land training is a lot of physical activity, you can get a lot of mass only from working out 4-5 times a week let alone factoring in specialized training and dieticians Edited June 23, 2020 by logic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'm not even the biggest OJ fan but the dudes numbers speak for themselves.. everybody looks at his D+1 numbers as disappointing but I see them as impressive simply by comparing the numbers of the teams top 3 scorers in both years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise why add mature off the ice - aside from Fortnite no one said a peep about OJ's maturity level. If we're basing one's maturity level based on if they play video games, I think we need to figure out what is actually considered 'mature' at that point. Are all people who watch TV lazy? Are all people who work for the city lazy? Many stereotypes to be had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is he going to improve? Better he play major minutes (in a full healthy season) on the Comets than spot duty on the bench. For just this mini-season? Well that’s different.

Despite all the injuries we’ve had on the blueline, OJ hasn’t even gotten in one NHL so far. It’s because he wasn’t ready. I don’t think he’s suddenly developed THAT substantially (mainly because of his injuries) to be NHL ready. But only my opinion.

Tracksuit Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 He couldn’t stay healthy in JRs he couldn’t stay healthy in the minors but by some miracle he’s going to be able to stay healthy in the NHL. Good luck with that. The only thing he’s proven since his draft year is that he is Very very injury prone. He was a terrible draft pick.

I thought I was the most negative guy on cdc regarding a Juolevi! Guess not. My argument is that injuries curtailed his development - but argued that a specific issue was the problem - his injury hampered his pivot to the left, which meant that it affected his gap when defending and his acceleration and general mobility. However, after his being brought to Vancouver for some treatment last year, I thought his play had markedly improved - and that was without a year of training while healthy. For me, the jury is still out, I want to see him 100% fit (or as near to it as possible for a pro hockey player - they are almost always nicked up one way or another). I think this long layoff - if he has put in the work - could really tell the story on him. My argument has always been that as he is, he is not ready because he was not healthy. He just turned 22 a month ago - definitely not too late for a defenceman. Edited July 4, 2020 by Ray_Cathode Spelling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year in the minors won’t hurt anyone.... well except probably him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At barely 22 years of age....nothing is proven...including durabliity....as far as that goes ...you could say with better believability that Tanev has a proven "lack of durablility" and yet he had a healthy season.

I suspect that you are responding to a poster who considers 22 to be very old, and who can't really imagine a grownup changing at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jakob Zboril was the next prospect people seemed to think was the subject of that tweet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hindsight wasn’t and isn’t required) When did he get hurt in juniors? Unless you're talking about the games he missed during the season because he was off playing at the highest junior level in the World Junior Championships. He wasn't "injury prone" prior to us drafting him. There was no way of knowing this was the way it would play out prior to drafting him, so yes hindsight is definitely required. And as have been pointed out, he could still make a career still. What he has also proven since he was drafted is that some of this fanbase is very impatient.

Canuck Surfer Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I have a feeling, just a feeling... We'll see Olli Juolevi #48 play a game. Maybe 3? This play in & play off year! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juolevi has had injuries that have slowed his progress..Last season 2018-19 GP 18 -- PTS 13 had major knee injury and would of play some NHL games that season with all Defence injuries... 2019-2020 GP 45 -- PTS playing in all roles PP -PK against other teams top lines... I still believe Juolevi will be a #3 D man for many years.. Juolevi 22 - 6'3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
