[Report] Juolevi undergoes successful surgery. Out until training camp.

[The Great Canucks]

Sucks. Hope he fully recovers.

 

What makes this worse is having to listen to the pathetic dumbasses with their moronic "bust" talk, even though he has been progressing, contrary to what these morons like to tell themselves. Kiss my ass, haters!

[Ossi Vaananen]

I guess James Benning has a poker face after all:

 

 

 

[Cromeslab]

Crappy,that’s a setback in his development

[Smashian Kassian]

Wow! Really?! 

 

I didn't even realize he was having surgery let alone now missing the rest of the year. That's a tough break, I was convinced he would come up this year and play games even despite the injury before the season. 

[higgyfan]

Terrible news; especially for Olli.  Seems like every time he starts to look good he has a setback.  Really bad for his development.  Guess we'll have to wait and see how next season goes. 

[redhdlois]

A bit of a shocker......was expecting him back in the line up soon and now this   

 

Merry Frickin' Christmas !

[J-Dizzle]

Holllllly smokes.... cue the Chicken Little’s. 

[*Buzzsaw*]

Good luck to Olli.

 

With the skill of the surgeons the team can call on, and the efficacy of these types of procedures, and when you factor in his youth, there is every chance he will make a 100% recovery.

 

May wear a light brace for the rest of his career, but hundreds of NHLers have done the same without their mobility being affected... this is not 1970 and not Bobby Orr with his grossly mishandled injuries.

 

Posters suggesting his career is over or that he is a write off are just showing a lack of knowledge.

Does this have any implications whatsoever on his ELC?

Don't think so, playing in Utica burns a year off the ELC too.

Say what you want but this was a bad pick and it's getting even worse with the luck factor

 

If Benning didn't draft Pettersson he'd be long gone.

Fedor did you change handles?

If this kid truly has the goods, he'll get through this.

 

Guys like Reilly(Maple Fleas) show young guys can come back, even stronger from the turmoil.

...or perhaps he isn't a physician.    Chances are the rehab wasn't progressing like they thought it should be so they sent him for MRI and found something - given the timeframe for recovery it sure sounds like either MCL or ACL.   He had a good start to his North American professional career but this timing sucks for him as he was probably almost certain to get NHL games come the New Year and after the TDL.   Oh well, it happens and he can now add his name to the long list of guys with "the scar" which you see in dressing rooms all over the world.   Like the TJ scar in baseball, it is all too common.   

[Sedinyoureyesontheprize]

This is so discouraging. This is why you draft the best player and not based on team needs.

 

im a huge Benning supporter but this was not his finest hour. 

 

Lets just hope he gets healthy and plays sometime in the future.

[J.I.A.H.N]

I am so PSSed!

Benning made the right call on Juolevi, injuries happen.  this is not Bennings fault!!!

Sky is falling... Sky is falling... Sky is falling...

Will be back in time for training camp as if it's just around the corner or something. Lol.

Didn’t like passing on mt at the time and it just keeps looking worse and worse . One of bennings bigger blunders. Oh well hope he has a good recovery we need him to make the show .

Look at the character showed by Brock, Petey, and Bo.  Character matters and that dirtbag has no place on any respectable franchise.  You think he's be able to stay out of the penalty box for us in the playoffs when Sutherland gets airlifted in to rig a series?

 

There is no way his garbage would fly here.
