The more I look into Joni, the more I like this pick. Seems like a steal. And gives the Canucks more defensive depth. We now have 3 Finnish defensemen in our prospect pool in Juolevi, Toni Utunen, and now Joni Jurmo. I suspect Joni will come over to North America in about two years. He's not a 1st round pick so I'm gonna keep my expectations tempered with this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Not familiar with him but that scouting report sure makes him sound like a great pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Castiglione Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 47 minutes ago, Chicken. said: Good news is that he says he watches a lot of Canucks games since they have good young talent so that will help him process the game watching our high IQ core I wonder if playing video games (NHL specifically) as a teenager helps with hockey sense or it just comes naturally ? how to improve such a critique besides watching film I've always wondered this as well. Lot's of film,& books? I'm assuming video games isn't a popular method but it makes sense that it would help teach X's & O's. As for Jurmo, sounds like a great pick. Another kid that seems to have fell but has all the tools to be a useful/great player. Definitely going to be interesting following his development. Maybe Salo can even help work on his game.

Spoosh Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Didn't expect us to pick Joni but looks good and he has progressed nicely every year. Gotta look at some games now to get a better idea of where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Some scouts had Jurmo and Wallander hand in hand as the 2 best D from that region. Good value in round 3 since Wallander went at 1st in the 2nd round. That was according to JD burke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 2 hours ago, mordekai said: From athletic A prominent knock on Jurmo is that he doesn’t leverage his size enough as a defensive asset – he’s too reliant on his stick – but he’s not a liability in his own zone and clearly has room to grow as a defender given his unique stature. Nonetheless, huge defencemen who can skate like the wind and possess above-average puck skills are rare commodities, making Jurmo a potential steal in the second or third round. how does this kid make it to round three?

Tystick Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 He is surprisingly mobile for his size. I'm excited to see what he can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 JJ could be a promising prospect. He'll have to work on the defensive side and translate to the pros, but with his size he already has a leg up, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Real happy with this pick. Many lists had him going mid to late 2nd round, bit of a steal at 82nd if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one will take some patience, I think he comes over in 3-4 years + 1 year in the AHL. Cracks the Roster at about 22-23 years old.
