Eddie Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Hmmmm - its a death of hope kinda week here in Vancouver :/ Wonder what the return is ? Maybe Nutivaara ? Would make sense with putting Harmonic on Waivers + OJ's cap - and badly need a RHD. He is a UFA next year also. J.B probably throws in his traditional sweetner of a 2023 2/3rd Edited October 10, 2021 by Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green sat him almost all last year while the team was out of contention early on. That was the time to give him an extended run. He got Covid bad.

Chris12345 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 So what's the return? I'm thinking a project like Motte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a weird thing to hold against the GM, a player that changes his mind on playing. Was Benning supposed to look into the future and predict this?

HockeyHarry Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Remember Sami Salo coaching him in Finland saying “ OJ needs alot of work to be nhl ready “ and that was before the injury. i wanted OJ to work out here , but the warning signs where very present. I just remembered him in the world jrs being a really good player but that was playing jrs. hope we get something in return. But I don’t have very high expectations on what we got. Anything is better then free off waivers. Go Canucks Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4th? Should be that if it's a pick, wouldn't be surprised if it's a player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 If the Canucks can somehow get Radko Gudas, that would be amazing. Expecting Juulsen, Nutivaara, or Lammiko though. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Benning supporters will go to any lengths and make up anything to support your leader. No different than Trumpers Lmao well dude.. you brought up losing Kole Lind as a reason why Benning is garbage. He got taken in the expansion draft. Same as trump supporters? A little triggered eh 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly not expecting much in return. Probably a 5th round pick or something. Sucks that he didn't turn out for us, but oh well. The good thing is that our prospect pool seems deep, with Rathbone, Woo and I’m even optimistic on Keeper potentially becoming a good depth defence man eventually. We’ve got a good young team I feel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.B probably throws in his traditional sweetner of a 2023 2/3rd I'd love to get Nuttella (can never spell his name properly) even if it means throwing in a pick. I love the depth guys like Burroughs, Schenn, etc but if we have to play them in our top 6 for any extended time I think we're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a good young team I feel. I've never liked losing guys, but I do have a feeling that unlike last off-season, Benning is letting the right guys go, for the most part. Even if we get very little for Juolevi, it's probably the right decision. I don't feel like he's going to become anything more than a 5/6 guy at best now. His development has just been too slow. Haters will point out that we traded a #5 pick for a late rounder (if that's what the return is), but I'm just happy we have a GM who doesn't suffer from sunk cost fallacy and can sell when he needs to. 3 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) To me it looked like he could see the ice well and read the play at the nhl level. We even saw some decent physical play from him. what was concerning was his lack of ability to turn when he was getting challenged on the outside. A lot of our defenders seem to have deficiencies, so it says a lot about how he was viewed if they gave up on him. green seems to have his fingerprints on a lot of these moves.

HockeyHarry Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Also remember OJ video game addiction, showing up late to practices cuz he was playing video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Castiglione Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Bummer. Still had hopes he would make his way on to the team or at lease rotate between him and Rathbone for the 3rd LHD spot. All the best, OJ. It didn't work out here but I believe you'll be an everyday NHL'r. Our defensive prospect pool is even thinner now. Hopefully the return is a team need and not a late pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
