BarnBurner Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 9 hours ago, J-Dizzle said: If one of Poolman, Hamonic or Schenn can provide stability alongside of Hughes I think it would help a lot. In his first year, Hughes ability to retrieve and move the puck killed opposing teams attack… this last year we didn’t see that so much. Perhaps that’s a partner issue, perhaps that’s teams gunning for him a bit more… probably a bit of both. that being said… as it stands OEL and Meyers looks like the most probably option and that may not work out so well. Schenn worked really well with Hughes. I would at least try that pairing to begin with. Schenn didn't take crap from nobody, and if anyone dared try to rough up Quinn, Petey, or anybody else, he stood up for these guys without hesitation. That's definitely something this team needs more of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely something this team needs more of. He is older now and Hughes is more experienced. We have a new young, small, offensive D man who could use the same treatment though. Schenn could be a really good Rathbone partner. That leaves a hole for where Poolman would fit though. As Hamonic and Myers would be on the other pairings. I kind of wonder whether we will se Juolevi on most nights Ibarra did Rathbone just because of partners available to them. Myers worked Ok with Juolevi.

I suppose we'll all see how it plays out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I expect Schenn will be the 7th guy. One or both of Juolevi or Rathbone is likely not playing full time. Just hope whichever one(s) Green wont use is not stuck in the pressbox. No reason to do that now with Abbotsford right there. Let whoever it is play big minutes in Abby. With Green and Baummgartner I would also not be surprised to see the top 6 as: OEL-Myers Hughes-Hamonic Schenn-Poolman And both Juolevi and Rathbone in Abbotsford or one of them traded.

I'm pretty sure Juolevi is waiver eligible (and Rathbone not eligible), making the former less likely to be sent down to Abbotsford, unless he really screws the pooch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think he has shown he can play and be a good two way guy at the nhl level but the numbers dont look good for him at this point since he can be sent down without waivers. Juolevi needs to play. I think he is ready for full time 3rd pair duty and even some PK time. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the depth, now, to let him cook awhile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is ready for full time 3rd pair duty and even some PK time. Agreed. I think Rathbone, barring a completely dominant camp/preseason where he forces the issue, should start the year with Abby. He’ll still get called up for games regardless, even if it’s just for injury relief. And he very well may claim a lineup spot by mid to late season, but there’s really no need to start him on the roster from day one. Especially since that would mean either sitting or waiving Juolevi, which I can’t imagine the Canucks brass would want. They’re already far too invested in OJ to give up now. And they have no reason to, as Juolevi made good progress last season, so they should see that through and hopefully this year will see OJ stake his claim as a legitimate NHLer, ideally with several hundred more NHL games in his future. I’d probably be arguing for pulling the plug on OJ if I didn’t think he still had what it takes to become an everyday player for this team. But we’re really not in sunk cost fallacy territory with Juolevi yet. He’s shown enough that the Canucks would be foolish not to give him an opportunity this season. And Juolevi absolutely needs to play. It’s definitely put up or shut up time for OJ, and I think he needs to have a pretty solid season if he hopes to remain with this team (as Rathbone is certainly pushing for that spot, and even Brad Hunt is capable of leapfrogging OJ if he falters), but I’m optimistic that Olli will come in and have a strong camp, and lay claim to that 3LD slot on the opening night roster. The Canucks also sort of need him, if for no other reason than to have another option for PK and defensive starts on the left side, after OEL. The D corps definitely looks far more balanced with OJ in it than it does without him. Edited August 2, 2021 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
