Sergei Shirokov Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Juolevi doesn't really seem to have any glaring weaknesses in his game. In comparison to some of our recent top picks, there always seemed to be one deficiency. Hodgson had poor skating, Schroeder lacked size, Virtanen/Kassian lacked hockey sense, Horvat lacked explosive skating, and Petterson is/was under weight. Of all of our top prospects, I'd be willing to bet that Juolevi has the highest probability of success in the NHL. Probably not a franchise calibre player, but he'll definitely key piece to a cup contender. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who calls Juolevi "lazy or not engaged" just needs to read that comment of a guy who has the desire/hunger to get better. some peoples kids. gj olli thx for update sami and dhaliwal. Look forward to Sami's next appearance on 1040. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I never got to see much of Finland in this WJC, but I understand Juolevi had a good tournament. How did his slap shot look? Was it Sami Salo-ish like? We could sure use that big shot from the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Great to see Sami Salo's comments about Juolevi. I think Salo's assessment goes a long way towards affirming Juolevi's qualities. It's awesome that Juolevi can develop under Salo's tutelage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His strength though is finding seams from the point for passes or deflection shots. This bodes well for the modern NHL. Slapshots are becoming a smaller part of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got a very good deceptive wrist shot. And the best part is watching him walk the line looking for a lane rather than pound it into the first pair of shin pads that’s closing in. And our fan base has seen way too much of that over the last half decade or so. Just look at BB6’s 21 goals so far this year. I can only think of 1 slap shot goal. And of course it was all luck according to Matt Murray Edited January 5, 2018 by SergioMomesso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but having a good accurate slapshot is a deadly weapon. I love watching Shea Weber/Sami Salo scoring top corner goals with their booming shots. It's something that defenders have to be cautious of as it is a huge threat, but it does seem to be a fading skill since the rover player on the PP became a bigger thing.

The more weapons in your arsenal the better. Who can forget the Weber slapshot through the net webbing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 This is pretty impressive, by any measure. In points per game, Olli would project to 27 in 39 games and be the leading rookie scorer of the league. Note that Tanus and Kivihalme are 22 and Kotkaniemi is 17. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he makes mistakes and of course he will all through his career - every player does - and I don't think anyone should defend him when he does or say he is immune to bone headedness or bad games. I just think that none of these prospects are "lazy" or they simply wouldn't be in the discussion for NHL spots. Some get frozen into inaction from their fear of mistakes, some get confused on where to be at times but more often than not, NOT doing something is the best move on the ice and in particular for a Dman. What impresses me the most about OJ, a player I have seen since he was 15, is that he is almost never out of position. For a guy who rushes up the ice and joins the offense quite a bit, I can count in my head and still have some of my ten fingers left the number of times I have seen him give up an odd man rush due to a poor decision on coverage and that is in seeing him play likely a combined 50 to 80 times over the past four-five years. The thing I have with OJ is admittedly a bit biased I have, as above, know about him for a long while and also have people in my circle that are associated with London so have another tie-in there. The kid oozes leadership - to the point where he took on the Finnish Federation after last year's tourney and essentially found himself without a letter on his sweater or a spot in the first pairing in spite of being their best Dman by quite a margin this tournament and has also had a great first professional season.
