I some times think it's funny how posters get over technical in assessing ( with little in the way of history, knowlege or facts) a player when some times just like any other business it can be a case of favourites 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No he doesn't. He is average. Will he play at a heavier weight? Maybe...maybe not. He is already 22 years old. He might be at his maximum weight. You don't know. You are just assuming. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point is that he has the size to handle the rigours of the league. 6'3 and under/over 200. There's nothing to get nitpick-y about here... He "has size", as you like to put it. That's good enough, and beyond that, it doesn't matter as much as you're making it out to be. Also, he's only 22, so he's still a few years away from having his "man muscle".

Of nearly 500 D under NHL contract, only 80 are 6'4 or more. 6'3 is big for an NHL defenseman. 2 1 4 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joulevi is 6'3 200. Once he gets with NHL trainers and on an NHL diet he will more than liklely play at 215+. Almost all NHl players put on muscle mass once they become regulars. He is certainly not small, he will end up very similar to Edler's size. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We saw a glimpse of it in the exhibition game when he threw a nice breakout stretch pass I believe it was to Roussel racing down the wing. EP is going to enjoy these passes while going full stride.

Well, technically, at 6'-3", he's got 2" over 'average' and at only 22 is bound to put another good 15+/- lbs of muscle on his frame in to his prime. But sure, he's not Chara or Byfuglien. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having Julolevi at his size with his skating ability should be a nice add to our d corp down the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whalespray 125 Posted August 1, 2020 Olli and Rathbone, Rathbone and Olli,Olli, Rathbone, Olli. We can have both. They both offer completely different skillsets. Olli has slick passing and is willing to pay the price infront of the net led Utica in blocked shots. Rathbone has speed too burn in the "new" NHL. We will see how effective he is in the NHL with it. I think the Canucks should lean towards a more active uptempo D and see if we cant unleash this teams offence. Lord knows we don't have the tools to play the trap shutdown hockey. But we may be able to dominate at run and gun. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckCup2022 174 Posted August 1, 2020 lol Wow. I really triggered a bunch of posters correctly pointing out Juolevi is just average NHL size. What exactly triggered the outrage? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So Juolevi is 6'3, 205lbs, 22 yrs old should turn into a #3 D man - His development has been slow due to injuries.. Juolevi has size 6'3 is tall but his frame is lean at 205lbs.. Jake 6'1 but he has bigger thicker body 220lbs But Juoelvi has size as in height 6'3 is tall.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
