The puck was like a grenade on Hutton’s stick. He was terrible at moving it by passing or skating. OJ’s best skill (along with being super smart) is his ability to transport or pass the puck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Analyst82 Posted July 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2019 Can't believe this kid is already a whipping boy without even playing a game. Poor guy has ran into tough luck with staying healthy and everyone is already writing him off. Give the kid a God damn fair chance. 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I've been looking forward to seeing him play as a Canuck, patience will be rewarded. I found it odd that Benning also signed Fantenberg, with Juolevi on the way up, but it makes sense to me now. Canucks needed D depth, plain and simple. It's going to be nice not having to rely on Biega to save the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between his departure and Pouliot's I see this team as improved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew development would take a bit, throw injuries on top of it and it slows down more. Im excited to see where he's at, hopefully he can step up at some point this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, kind of drives me bonkers haha. I think sometimes we also forget these are kids who are trying really hard to become professionals, his progress has been steady even though he has had terrible luck with injuries. Whatever happens, if he plays 1000+ games or 0, I appreciate he work he's put in....certainly be nice if he played 1000+ tho lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd probably be on the team at this point if it wasn't for injuries. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, once he starts playing they will go conspicuously silent, then suddenly start raging on the next whippee. Yes, it's like an addiction, they must always have a "fix". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His odds of reaching his potential have lessened because of the injuries he's had so far in his career. I don't see many people $&!#ting on Juolevi for being Salo reincarnated. It's just unfortunate.

"Shoulda drafted Tkachuk" "Shoulda drafted Sergachev" Of course, those people never assume that the above two players may or may not have made the team - nor was there any guarantee that they would've produced. Certainly not Sergachev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I can see why people would take it the wrong way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I think Juolevi starts the season with the Canucks, or will at least be with the team within 30 days. He was close to joining the team when he was shut down for injury, and was putting up good numbers. He will still be a solid top 4 on the Canucks, He just turned 21, and has had a rough couple of seasons with injuries, but the talent is still there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it that we don’t get serious updates on how he’s doing? I believe that a lot of people get paranoid because we never hear very much about him. Am I wrong?
