Olli Juolevi

 

 

Scouting Report:

Quote

A competitive spark-plug, Olli Juolevi is a complete, all-around defenceman who can hem the opposition in their own end or make things difficult for the opposition at home; either way, he puts the pressure on and lays it on thick. A strong and balanced skater, he can rush the puck through the neutral zone with ease or backcheck with haste. Uses his size to his advantage, but knows his physical limits and plays within them. Instead of playing overly physical, he makes his presence felt by exhibiting his high-end playmaking ability and puck possession play. All-in-all, a well-rounded blueliner who thrives under pressure and can be trusted in all situations.

[Goat James 935]

Interesting,hopefully he'll be our version of Nicklas Lidström.

[Hedman 190]

Done with this team. Cya.

[ECKO Canuck 37]

Bad pick should of drafted Tkachuk...

Scouting REport

[shayster007 4,015]

Is this ok? I'm so torn. I think I like this. But I'm confused on so many levels right now. 

 

Edit: ok, now that it's settled in I'm stoked. Loosing Dubois was really hard, but this kids the real deal. Benning managed to completely turn around our back end, and D wins cups.

[Nessnuck27 72]

Let me be ther first to welcome you to the Canucks Oli, excited to see what you can do!

[TheHitman 875]

Time to get wrecked 6-8 times a year for the next decade by Tkachuk and Puljajarvi. Great. 

[GoBoGo53 220]

He is very comparable to Olli maata to me.

[Fanuck 7,038]

Got our PMD right there!

[Warhippy 29,821]

Well...hope he can skate

 

Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett and Tkachuk will be eating this team up for quite a few seasons...

[cuporbust 5,890]

Oh my God. Not unhappy with the pick, not happy with the spot 

Edited June 25, 2016 by cuporbust

[Blueberries 1,835]

Olli Maatta at 5 boys.

[cdubuya 1,080]

A bit surprising we passed on tkachuk

[messier's_elbow 2,770]

I called it months ago ... I wanted Dubois but Juolevi is a winner. 

[TheRussianRocket. 10,158]

Very pleased.

 

Were in a crappy spot with top 4 forwards going. Decided to not take the next forward a tier below and took a dman. Like it.

 

Only thing I have a problem with is maybe not trading down. Pretty sure he wouldn't have been picked for the couple picks. But better safe than sorry. Just would have liked getting a 2nd round pick.

 

 

mfw cdc mad we got the best dman heading into the draft. He has the skillset we desperately need and lack. Smh at cdc.

 

 

 

*NOTE:*

 

Juoelvi is on loan from his Finnish team. 

 

So if he decides, he can go straight to the AHL after training camp.

 

...neat little bonus in getting him. Can play overseas, AHL if they think he's ready, or back to jrs.

[87Crosby 720]

Nice. He was who I wanted today. We've been lacking Finnish for a long time...

[-Vintage Canuck- 81,247]

Good pick.

[Blueberries 1,835]

F the Jackets.
