Popular Post appleboy Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2018 All we need from OJ is for him to become a solid top four. He is on the right track for that to happen. Not every player becomes a super star. Our defense has massive holes to fill. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyoung Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 6 hours ago, The 5th Line said: No I'm pretty sure people are just disappointed with his progression. Apparently he's still behind Brisebois, Sautner and Chatfield on the pecking order so we weren't planning on seeing him any time soon anyways and that was before the injury. Point totals are good and that's a good sign but I thought we weren't supposed to just look at stats? He has 5 even strength points in 18 games, apparently he's still soft and frigid, turns the puck over at bad times and is a -12 Our other top prospects would garner a lot more attention during injury news like that, not sure how you would dispute that. When he was drafted they roughly said it would take him a few years to develop. His progression is just fine man. This was expected, the injuries not so much...of course injuries suck but they can happen to anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's the only thing that concerns me. One knee surgery, back surgery, and now potentially another knee injury (really hoping it's not serious) all before hes ever played an nhl game. That's what's concerning. He has the iq and tools to be a solid dman, but injuries can take that all away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 "Olli is probably going to be out the next 2-2.5 weeks. Doesn't need surgery or anything. Then we'll see where he's at but we think he should be good to play after that." - Benning on Juolevi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, more a sign of the team....just as an example inclusive of two of these seen as up and comers as well and who are NOT rookies: Tanner Kero C UTI 24 8 11 19 -10 Zack MacEwen RW UTI 24 10 8 18 -10 Jalen Chatfield D UTI 13 0 1 1 -11 Olli Juolevi D UTI 18 1 12 13 -12 Evan McEneny D UTI 22 2 6 8 -16 Like when Horvat was a minus a million. Says more about the team than the player. Utica is a very young team who has had probably the worst goaltending in the AHL until, ironically, two games after OJ got injured. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t have bad body language. He has to show he’s really into the games and wants to be out there. “He got better this year as the season went on.” 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing for a pretty bad club. Horvat was -30 a couple seasons ago. It's a stat that doesn't mean much without context.

If you need a link to Forsberg's post: https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-top-prospects-no-2-olli-juolevi Also, if you think that's character assassination, I wonder what you think of people who are actually giving pessimistic comments.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted that more than a week ago man. Anyway, @ForsbergTheGreat already found the Salo quote for you. Please just put me on ignore. It feels like you specifically have quoted me in this thread more than everyone else in every other thread combined. Just let it sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're right...those 18 games in Utica over nearly 2 months probably wore out the 20 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, is bringing some positivity too much for you or something? I had looked at Nux's comment earlier going "I like that we have some optimism happening." I should have known someone would bring in the pessimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
