If Green can get him on the right track, he has top 4 written all over him. Hutton just isn't a very smart player Both Hutton and Pouliot have fitness commitment issues. They both need to dump pounds, and get into proper shape. They need to be more like the Sedin Twins, and train hard off the ice, while making other off ice sacrifices too. If they don't make those tough life-style changes, and new commitments to being complete professionals, their talents aren't good enough to keep them in the league. The good part is they could both be quite good players, if they did make the right choices. They have the skills, and the body size. If they were already committed to being complete professionals, and still struggled, then they would be what they are - crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this is management's hopes as well. Good thing nobody really cares what you want or expect.

Potentially sore/battling injury or may want confirmation on world championships before flying to North America. Its been a lengthy season and the world championships are in Europe. Prob wants to rest and avoid a flight to North America if he isn't going to for sure play there. That is just my speculation though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just my speculation though. I'd like to see him in Utica, even as a "Black Ace". Then he gets (at least) to see the speed of the pro games on the smaller ice, and how hard the game is played in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Johnson said yesterday it looks like Elias Pettersson is likely a lock for team Sweden. He was unsure of Olli Juolevi and said we would have to wait and see. So I guess that is what we need to do. Or we can speculate for the next week. I'm sure I'll do that too.

He's played a few seasons on the NHL surface so I can imagine playing on an international ice surface vs NHL all-star caliber players will be just as valuable. If not more being around legit veteran superstars. Let's face it we don't have any of those left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax and breathe a bit there bud. Like you said this is a hockey forum, don't let me keep you up at night. The onus will be on Juolevi to have a strong summer, so he doesn't bomb training camp like he did last year. If he can't beat out the fringe d-men on the Canucks, it's likey becasue he has not ironed out his deficiencies which is a bad sign. I have confidence that Juolevi is prepared and knows what to do this summer, expect him to make an impression in camp and make the team just like management hopes as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Someone asked Canucks Army on if we should take on Marion Hossas contract to weaponize cap space and he had a pretty good response to it..... a pipe dream for sure but damn would that be sick The Canucks absolutely should have interest in taking on the final four years of Marian Hossa’s contract. I have a difficult time figuring out what the Canucks should get for the privilege. A second-round pick seems fair, at first glance. This might be a touch rich, but I’d love to see the Canucks land Portland Winterhawks defenceman Henri Jokiharju. When Juolevi played with Jokiharju at the World Juniors, they seemed to have awesome chemistry. Their skill sets complemented each other so, so well. That’s a pipe dream though.

That would be a nice addition no doubt. What term is left on his deal though? We got a lot of kids to pay in 2-3 years. I liked jokaharu he looked good in the WJC. Better then Dallas' top d prospect at times. Edited April 19, 2018 by Rush17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garthsbutcher Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Would you trade Juolevi for another top 10 pick is this draft, interesting thought. I know we have developed him ect but personally I would move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a pipe dream though. when you take on a contract like that, you better et a whole lot more than a 2nd round pick. First and a prospect for a four year cap hit of that size would be my asking price. You don't do favours like that for a 2nd. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
