From my minimal viewings and all I've heard and read, Soderstrom seems like a Tanev type, a very "safe" player with minimal offensive upside. Can anyone who's seen him more give their opinion on this? If it's true, I'd rather pick a Dman who's more risky and has a higher ceiling. Regardless though, I feel we're taking a forward who will drop out of the top 9.

Once Juolevi and Rathbone make the big squad, we have the potential of having at least a PMD on every pair. If all goes well our left side will be set up for a long time with QH, OJ and JR.
-
Haven't seen too much of him, but if Podkolzin has as high as a skillset as many state, there's no way we could pass on him, we should be drafting the highest skillset possible, period.

Who was the player? Also, if that was used to undermine the league quality, Liiga is probably a top 5 league in the world. Juolevi developed quite a bit there as he was playing top minutes come playoff time. He didn't make the team out of camp, so what? Do I wish a top 5 pick would be on the team already? Of course. He was on track to be up by Christmas and got unlucky with injuries, he'll make the team this year. Playing big minutes in Utica as the #1 D versus playing on the bottom pair in the NHL potentially had a lot to do with him not making the team out of camp as well.

Aquilini's yearly letter to season ticket holders
MrCanuck94 replied to BCNeil's topic in Canucks Talk
Wouldn't take too long to just do a 5 minute google search to see that every team does this. OP's title is a bad take. FA is a good owner, be happy he cares about the team and is willing to spend to make it better. Many people who criticize him have no background in business and it shows.- 63 replies

650 by a landslide. I haven't listened to 1040 in a long time but 650 has many NHL related guests as in players, management, agents and media (probably helps having Auld as a connection), regular weekly segments with Bertuzzi, O'Brien, Friedman, Murphy, etc just to name a few, and in my opinion they have proper discussions about situations where in the past it seemed that TSN1040 always had discussions with a negative bias present. To be fair, it also depends on what segments you choose to listen to for both stations.

In his d+1, the Knights lost Dvorak's 121 points, Marner's 116 points and Tkachuk's 107 points. OJ managed to put up the same amount of points with the loss of this much offence. Juolevi had great growth as a 19 year old player in Finland to the point where he was able to handle the workload of being their #1 dman in the playoffs because of injuries. Juolevi was Utica's #1 dman and would've been on the Canucks for the second half of the season if he was not hurt. Juolevi has had defensive struggles, many young players do. I'm not concerned with it because he has high hockey IQ and he'll figure it out, it's all part of the process. He hasn't made the team out of camp but that doesn't change his ceiling. Of course it would be preferred that a 5th overall pick makes the team sooner than later, but if taking more time with the player ensures they develop properly to what they can be, then I'm all for it. At the end of the day, he's only 20 years old. Making the big club at 21 is still very good.

Wouldn't say it is misinformation, just did not delve into the full detail, but to your points. You could use the same argument for Mete being the #1 offensive D while Juolevi got all the defensive minutes, hence him still being the top D man. Regarding the Liiga situation, it was due to injury but the fact that he elevated and played the role of a #1 is impressive. Don't think that's how a #1 D man is determined, that would be the guy that plays all situations, plays the most minutes and has the most talent, and that was Juolevi, not Sautner.
-
Feels like I gotta keep posting the same thing in OJ threads because the same points come up, but: He was the #1 dman on his junior team, became the #1 dman on his adult Liiga team (at 19 years old), the #1 dman on his AHL team in the second best league in the world (at age 20). But he is a bust because he didn't make the NHL before being 20 years old. Or because the players drafted around him have played games which have no relation to his development. He has ran his team's power play at every level, he has very high hockey IQ and his passing skills are amazing. He makes mistakes on defence, young dmen do that, he'll learn from them.
-
+/- is a terrible stat but Gudbranson has also been very bad.
-
We would also have a defenceman who is capable of running a powerplay, but as you know, Canuck luck.

[Rumor] Panarin Interested in Vancouver
MrCanuck94 replied to SuitnTie's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Probably will cost 9-10 million at least, but will be well worth it. Dahlen - Pettersson - Panarin Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser That's a nice looking top 6 moving forward. -
People really need to get over not picking MT, its getting annoying. At the same time, we can appreciate our pick without putting the other down. MT is outperforming what I thought he would be, so good for him. I also believe Juolevi will be a solid top pairing minute muncher for us in the form of a Lindholm/Edler and he will be a crucial component to completing our team. Hopefully he rebounds well after the injury and makes the team out of camp. Lets go Juju
-
So what I got from this thread so far is that Hughes is a bust but also the next Bobby Orr
-
Recent? Juolevi has been running the PP for all his teams and his WJC team since his draft year. Praising a player doesn't increase his value, there's a reason every team has scouts.
-
Is Juolevi injured?
-
I remember when I read these posts in the Boeser thread and then the Pettersson thread. Hughes will be on the Canucks starting roster next season.
-
Wouldn't be surprised if we landed a top 4 RD in FA next season
-
I'd rather hope he kills it and gets paid deservedly so. We have money.
-
Since Bae and Bo are a solid pair together with very high chemistry, I would really like Green to try a line of Goldobin - Pettersson - Boeser tomorrow. That could be a lethal line. A top 6 of: 77 - 40 - 6 47 - 53 - 21/9/18/88 (pretty much anyone that gels here) Could be fun to watch.
-
I noticed that in his highlight packages he has many plays where he does the deceptive no-look pass across the ice and it is always tape to tape. Great passer and has the ability to get the shot through to the net as well. I hope he gets a chance to run the powerplay this season with Boeser and Pettersson on his wings to see how he does.
-
If EP is ready to play center right away, it stabilizes our team nicely having a C core of Bo, EP, Sutter and Beagle.
-
I see Juolevi as having a similar impact as Edler on this team. Providing defensive stability to the back end, logging high-end minutes and putting up 30-40 points a season on average. Edler didn't make it full time till his D+4, not worried at all, Juolevi will make it and stay here for a long time once he's ready.
