I wasn't caught, I was calling you on your post. Deal with it. If you don't agree with an opinion, that is what discussion is for. If you are dead set on constantly doing anything you can to put the team that this site is about look poorly in any given conversation, why do you seem so surprised to get called out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 To all the people upset with Juolevi's supposed lack of progress, how many of you think Chabot is an under performing prospect? They appear to be on very similar time lines for making the NHL. Is Chabot a 'disappointment'? Honestly the lack of patience.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have expectations for each of our prospects. Those expectations have nothing to do with any player not in the Nhl . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was obviously a bit under the weather and not in best form. Sick, tired, overplayed, whatever. No real contradiction here. Joe, you logic and reason has no place in this discussion.

Those expectations have nothing to do with any player not in the Nhl . Sure, that's fine. But perhaps some perspective on how long it actually takes guys not named Doughty or Ekblad to generally make the NHL in most cases would help when evaluating our own, no? Just because guys like McAvoy or Sergachev beat the odds of getting there sooner as later picks, doesn't mean OJ can't, won't or is somehow 'failing'. Especially when most considered OJ's time frame to be 2-4 years when he was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stand by their information. I trust them. You don't need to. In fact, why even should you? They were right on EP being sick but that was more widely reported so whatever. I get a ton of insight on hockey in Europe from a number of people and we share back and forth and it forms much of the information I share here. If people want to use that information or choose to ignore it, really isn't something I can control or, and sorry about this, really care about. I will continue to post from the basis of information I have and that includes information I get from a variety of people - put me on ignore if you don't like it. Call it fake news. Do whatever you wish! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Juolevi finished with 12:55 TOI. 5 shot attempts (2 on goal and 3 wide). Even. I didnt watch this one, but I’m assuming he mostly played on the power play and took limited shifts at even strength? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Juolevi or especially Virtanen were drafted by other teams, there'd be no shortage of calls here to try to acquire them. Grass is always greener, and to some the grass on the Canucks' lawn always has a fecal-brown hue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think people have to keep in mind that JB didnt pick him for his athleticism. That's something he has to work on off ice, and part of his overall long term development. What he was drafted for is hes going to be the guy feeding the puck to Brock, Bo, and Elias. From the little bits Ive watched him Ive seen a guy who definitely is very crafty with his passing and has good vision down the ice. BUT he has to be able to defend well and by all accounts that is one of the goals he is working on to improve on with Salo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is is an overlooked/underrated part of his game. He did very well in the WJC outside of the Finnish implosion 2 tournaments ago. He has done well in the OHL playoffs and the MCC. That’s a thing to want out of a defender. Some one that can up their game when it matters on the back end. We truely don’t have that on our roster ATM.
