Nice clip of Juolevi, able to catch up to one of the fastest skaters in Virtanen on the breakaway to throw him off, send a quick long pass to Zack and push Bo wide on the return.
-
It's a drill for crying out loud. What context does quoting some random person's comment from the comments section have lmao. Also, even if Hughes did get Juolevi to a "turn-still" in a drill, he's done that from his first game in the NHL on long-time veterans. Just let OJ develop and hope for the best.

This will be great for his confidence and knowing how far he is from playing with the big club.
-
Yeah that's fair, his situation is hard to project and only time will tell. Let's hope for the best!
-
I guess it's better to compare it role wise, as that is what he's being groomed to replace if he can transition well to the NHL. High minute, top PK unit, and PP capability. If Juolevi can turn into a top PK 30ish point dman at the least, that would be solid for us.

Honestly if Olli was anywhere around a mid to late first I feel he wouldn't have the premature notion of being called a bust by many. He's definitely being developed to take over the Edler role, the main factor will be his ability to transition to the NHL level game. I believe a lot in Olli, his hockey IQ gives me great hope that with some more recovery and development, he'll be a solid dman in the NHL. Of course though, only time will tell.

Lol since when? There hasn't been any hockey in months. He's not a comparable to Mittelstadt or Puljujaarvi because they haven't been able to establish themselves in the NHL. Liljegren failed to make an impact at 21?C'mon, he's still progressing well. I don't understand the thought of stagnation with Olli. Just because he's 22 he can't keep improving? If his injuries couldn't heal to 100%, then I would understand dropping his ceiling, but if he recovers fully and keeps developing, why project him low? He's been one of the best defenceman on every team he's play on.

Why not just clear Loui’s contract by attaching a 1st like the Leafs did?
MrCanuck94 replied to EP40.'s topic in Canucks Talk
I wonder if it really would be higher depending on the team. That high cap hit with lower actual money owed would be very attractive to a team like Ottawa. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Jack Rathbone
MrCanuck94 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think I've read Torey Krug as a comparable, would that be accurate? -
It's gonna take a heck of a lot to land Dobson, that package and taking Ladd wouldn't even do it alone.
-
If I recall correctly it was confirmed way back when on 650 radio (can't remember if it was an insider or Canucks management) that Olli was not the prospect going through the video game addiction.

You're definitely not Deb, wasn't directed at you. Personally, I would not go clubbing right now, but Jake is catching unwarranted heat in my opinion. He was not ignoring protocols and he's being unfairly criticized by people saying he was. There is no rule to where a mask is mandatory unless indicated by the specific company. Everyone was socially distant at the club and as you can see, Jake was with his bubble. It is not selfish for anyone to enjoy life within the mandated rules. Clubs are not like they usually are right now, everyone has to stay at their table just like a restaurant. Also, to those arguing the death rate, it's about saving the % that could die because of it. Every life counts. Enjoy the new normal to the safest that you can by following the rules presented wherever you may go.

Right on Stefan! We gotta have our boys backs when the negative side of our fanbase and media try to drag them for no reason.
-
The pandemic is real, however, the way clubs are right now is not the same. It's limited amount of people and you have to stay at your table/area. I don't personally see anything wrong with going out with a couple of friends in a safety precautioned area where numbers are low and not coming in contact with strangers.
-
I'm pretty sure clubs have a lot of safety precautions in place alongside no dance floors and you can only be with your friends in your bubble. So nothing wrong with him going out with a couple of friends. Major reach tbh lol.
-
Context. He was talking about any other alternative pick at that spot would need at least 2 years to develop, so the two year contract or the "Russian factor" did not scare us from the pick. Podkolzin was deemed NHL ready by almost everyone.
-
I agree, seems like a good comparison. Would be interesting to see what his defensive game is at in the NHL and if they would trust him with PK time within his first season.
-
Virtanen was physically ready for the NHL, his play as a whole was not NHL ready. Podkolzin is physically ready and has a defensive game that is said to be at a level that will be successful at the pro level already. Much different. He definitely has the potential to be a third line winger right now.
