He better be worth the wait.

...and what if he isn't?   What if he doesn't meet your expectations?   Are you going to go postal?   Is he in danger from you?     

 

Why not wait and see how he works out and then if your expectations are not fully met, you can find some five-step program to ease back from the edge.    OK?

Juolevi, Boeser, Horvat, Pettersson, Dahlen = high hockey IQ skilled players,

 

along with the gritty play of Virtanen, Gaudette, Gadjovich, Lockwood and MacEwen (and possibly Tryamkin)

 

and lights out goaltending by Demko...

 

...will lead us to the Promiseland,

Great goal!   He was also right up with the rush.  No idea why people think he has no offensive upside.   

 

He is having a really strong game. 

He loves to go with the play and this goal was a result of him taking the play to their zone and starting something. When Juolevi realizes his job is done and heads back, he gets into position and tolvanen finds him open at the point. really smart player.

Juolevi is having an excellent tournament. Been solid all around but seems to getting better every game. He is just so damn smart! How anyone has a problem with his play is downright baffling. That future powerplay of Gads/Horvat down low with Pettersson/Boeser on the corners and Juolevi manning the point will be extremely dangerous.

Juolevi seems to play his best hockey when the games matter. People can hand-wring about him not putting up cheap points against Denmark or Slovakia. I'd much rather see him shine when his team really needs it.

That. And also I think he is a guy that really stress on don't want to give up a goal against (hence playing defense) when he was on the ice. And at the start of the tournament he is still getting used to his new team and a new system, he rather plays it safe and focus on not giving up goals before thinking to create offence. And as soon as he starts to figure out the system and get some chemistry with his teammates, he starts to do more and generate more offence.
