Ghostsof1915 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 8 points in 14 playoff games for a d-man is not a bad thing. Defensemen have usually a longer development curve. Let's review where he's at in 2-3 years. I just hope we can get a mid-round 1st so we can draft Cal Foote. Nothing wrong with building the team with some Kelowna defenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he'd be a solid #2D on a bad team. #3 on a good team with deep D. All you anecdotal stories are great and all and gee I'm shocked that a professional athlete wouldn't be stuffing his gob with pasta and all but Stecher highly disagrees on your assessment of his mentoring abilities.Gave him major credit at the beginning of the year for mentoring him actually. I could care less if he's an introvert or not.I'd imagine neither do his team mates. Don't forget that Harvey is obsessed with Tronald Dump... the guy clearly likes his humans to be arrogant, obnoxious, loud and intolerable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35Godz1lla Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I think it's safe to say with Tryamkin leaving to the KHL that his spot is now Juolevi's to loose. Edited April 20, 2017 by R35Godz1lla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 With Tryamkin gone... Edler-Stetcher Hutton-Tanev Gudbranson-Juolevi I have a feeling it will either be Juolevi or Subban for that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEneny is almost certainly ahead of Subban at this point as far as having an NHL-ready game. As well, Pedan should take this as a sign of a big (maybe final) opportunity, because we're back to needing what he potentially brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Losing the train hurts. Juolevi has a spot but will need to he sheltered Best hope. Moving one of Edler or Tanev for a solid 1st. Drafting any combination of Heskainen/Liljegren/Foote on D (nhl ready bodies) And Vilardi/Hischier/Patrick (NHL ready bodies) Or trading down for a solid blue chip D prospect and drafting Glass Necas or Suzuki. This kinda screwed us right now. OJ has a spot but they'll either have to bring in a UFA to shelter him or draft an NHL sized defenseman to help the blue line to ensure he gets more development time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler, Stecher Hutton, Gudbranson/Sbisa Juolevi, Sbisa/Gudbranson Biega, Pedan, McEneny, UFA as depth 23 minutes ago, Warhippy said: 12 other NHL teams with more cap space will ensure isn't And not in the midst/bottom of a rebuild.

Coconuts Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) With Tram moving on you've his chances of making the bigs likely increase. I'm hoping he ends up back in junior. We're gonna need more depth as is, so I'm hoping Gillis Benning acquires a few pieces to insulate our younger guys who are still developing. Wouldn't be opposed to having someone new to patrol the blue line next season if it gave Olli more time to slow cook in junior.

Hopefully we get someone like Ballard for like Grabner +. Trust in Gillis guys. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 You guys be funny yo Honestly expect us to sign a depth UFA D regardless. If Juolevi (or Pedan, McEneny etc) want that 6th spot, they need to earn it, not have it handed to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
