I read this as him dismissing the question - it’s really irrelevant whether he was (or thinks he was) treated fairly. That’s pro sports. 1 1 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juolevi had good hockey iq, but didn't strike me as a player with much grit to his game, notwithstanding his hit last year on Tkachuk. . True but then again that's what happened when you pick the worst player of the first 10 draft picks of the draft class 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 So can someone smarter than me tell me what our cap situation looks like right now, assuming Lamb Chops starts with the big club and Juju starts in Abby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our question marks come from the back end. And given these said question marks, adding in Rathbone is an extremely risky and IMHO a short-sighted move. Last year Green was leaning on Rathbone as a top 4 D, a Role he was clearly not ready for but had no choice because Edler was struggling there. I agree Rathbone shouldn’t be playing in the top 4 so signing OEL was crucial. That being said I think Rathbone with thrive if he plays with a stay at home D in the #5/6 slot. Green’s system was a HUGE factor in keeping JR over OJ. Green decided JR over OJ last year. A lot of people couldn’t see it or didn’t want to but anyone watching Green’s post game interviews knew who he was leaning towards. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleysteamersmyl Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I would rather have Rathbone develop in the AHL. It takes at least 3 years for a D man to reach their potential unless you are a top 3 draft pick. I think Rathbone will get better every day. Go Boner Go. The six game start to the season will be blessing to the Canucks. Time to gell on and off the ice with so many new players. And time away from the Canucks negative nellies. They better have a good road trip or CDC will be the airport upon their return with pitchforks and tiki torches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amplified0ne Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Juolevi couldn't pivot, so he'd get beat wide with speed and strength as he didnt have a good enough stick to defend against his weakness. I don't think he'll be able to more than a fringe NHLer, but time will tell I guess. He needs someone like Willie Mitchell to teach him how to defend.

Having Poolman and Hamonic to play alongside Hughes and Rathbone could have balanced our pairings quite nicely. As it stands we're in desperate need of someone with a D first game to play alongside Rathbone, ideally someone that can play both sides so we can send out decent PK pairings. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he is currently employed as an NHL coach doesn't mean he should be. I wouldn't trust that idiot to judge whether or not he'll make a yellow light. That's your judgment though. He didn't win a lottery to get there, he earned his way. I don't know him of course but I do hear what people in the game say about him and it's all been positive. I see the wheels turning when he's talking to media and like how he resists being badgered into answering certain questions. Maybe we would understand him better if he did but at the same time it could be bad for the team. That's a good quality for a coach -- or GM for that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green played for Al Arbor too, so he likely learned a lot from a great coach. Plus, Green played in the league in roles as a skilled guy and as a checker. He understands the game on multiple levels, and knows what players need to do to be at their best, and how each guy needs to play to help the team win. If Demko plays like Bubble Boy Green will be looked at as a genius. If Demko struggles Green is a goner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris12345 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I never did like OJ. Saw him play at the rookie tournament a few times and he was always bad. Oh well...hope he sticks in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. And the fact that he’s had YEARS of experience in TG’s training camps yet he came in and allowed the “conditioning skate” destroy him like it did…make him appear unprofessional in fact…said a hell of a lot about him in my opinion. And just stop with the COVID excuse. OJ himself said it wasn’t a factor and that he felt “great” in camp. And lots of Canuck players had COVID. I hope he finds his game in Florida, as I hope Juulsen finds his game here. This was a classic trade in the vein of hoping a change of scenery can work wonders. For OJ, not sure a lame hockey market like Florida is the thing to light a fire in his belly though. Hometown for Juulsen, maybe. But then there is the Jake thing. But well worth a try, I agree with Jimbo on that. I think that may be my last post in which I mention Olli Juolevi. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a pleasant surprise for Canuck fans. He will get even better in a couple of years. My Detroit friend at work said Detroit needed D men.
