R3aL Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Feel like at the time of his draft everyone really thought at some point he’d be a Canuck and looks like it’s happened. to bad he’s not the player everyone hoped he would be. can’t imagine him being better than bowey was in camp?

He's had some serious freak injury problems, the kind that would limit anyone's career. As a project and given a full year in the AHL I would wait to reserve such harsh judgement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real difference between them might be that one's LHD and the other's RHD (and a BC boy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted October 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2021 Noah Juulsen | Sweet Home Abbotsford: Abbotsford's favourite son has returned home. The Vancouver Canucks acquired Noah Juulsen from the Florida Panthers as part of the return package for Olli Juolevi. The 24-year-old defencemen is a former first round pick of the Montreal Canadiens and he is excited to be back home in Abby. "I'm excited to be here," said the Fraser Valley born defender. "Abbotsford is my home town, and my friends and family are here, so it's awesome to have this opportunity." Noah has had an extended absence from the west coast, as he has not called the best coast home since his junior hockey days with the Everett Silvertips. The former captain of the Silvertips appeared in 240 Western Hockey League games, netting 30 goals and amassing 94 apples. He also spent 149 minutes in the penalty box and posted a +48 during his career in Everett. Additionally, Noah put up five points in 25 postseason games. Juulsen's best season came in 2014.15 when he registered 52 points (9 G, 43 A) through 68 contests. His strong play on the ice caught the eye of scouts from across the National Hockey League. The Montreal Canadiens were enamored with the young man and decided to select Noah with the 26th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. "A big part of my game is being physical," said Juulsen when describing his style of play. "I like to make a good first pass but I think the biggest thing people look for in me is just being physical on the ice." The 6'2" blue liner made his NHL debut with the Habs in 2017.18, appearing in 23 games as a rookie with the legendary franchise. Noah spent the 2018.19 season split between the Canadiens and the Laval Rocket. 2019.20 brought the first significant change to Noah's hockey career, as he was shipped to the Florida Panthers. Juulsen spent the next two seasons in the sun and sand as part of the Panthers' organization before getting the news this week that he will be retuning to his hometown to play for the Abby Canucks. "It's like a dream come true to come play here," said Juulsen when asked to describe the feeling he had when learning of the trade to the Canucks. "I didn't think it would happen this early in my career but it seems like this is going to be a great opportunity for me. I can't wait to get out there on the ice." Health has been the biggest hurdle in Juulsen's development. The physical tools are there for him to carve out a role at the NHL level, but injuries have limited Noah to just 46 games during the previous three seasons. The most devastating of all his ailments was a facial fracture he suffered with the Habs that included nerve damage to his eyes. "My goal for this year is just to start playing hockey again," said Noah on his goals for the upcoming season. "I haven't had a chance to play very much the last few years because of injuries. It hasn't been ideal. I'm pretty excited about having the opportunity to come here and have a role on this team." The most recent change of scenery promises to provide Noah with a fresh start in a spot he is very familiar with. He owns a home at Cultus Lake and has family throughout the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. "I'm used to this environment," said Noah on his level of comfort playing in Abbotsford. "I know the rink well since I played hockey here as a kid, so I'm just excited to get a chance to play some games here soon. I'm excited to have an opportunity to build my confidence and find my game with the Canucks." The opportunity to play professional hockey in your hometown is a rare one. The Abbotsford Canucks have a number of BC born skaters that will be playing critical roles this season, but no one is closer to home than Noah. If you're planning on attending a game this season at Abbotsford Centre, keep an eye out for Noah's friends and family as they will likely be spending a lot of time at our barn this winter. https://abbotsford.canucks.com/news/noah-juulsen-sweet-home-abbotsford 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Happy we have a local RHD kid in the organization, I would play him the whole season in Abbotsford, get him in a lot of games something he has been unable to do and see where things go. Try him out on the PK etc but not rush the kid, he cleared waivers before we acquired him so he can spend the season in the AHL. The one thing I do wonder about is how the Abby Canucks will deploy him. We have Woo, Juulsen, Bowey as RHD...All of them could be possible future Canucks with the big club, I liked Bowey in Pre season and Woo is our youngest RHD prospect. Nice to have some depth with RHD, not the high end talent but with skilled LHD already on the NHL Canucks we could maybe get away with less good RHD partners for them in the future.

I would like to see Abby play all 3 RHD exactly the same amount of ice time........... they are all young and equal, in most ways........... Let's give them equal opportunity to grow and challenge let's not shoehorn them That is a pretty solid group of 3 RHD's for the AHL level Edited October 15, 2021 by J.I.A.H.N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 They have some big shoes (skates?) to fill on right D ..... Rafferty, Chatfield, and further back, Sanguinetti, and who can forget the legendary Saucerman? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crobar Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I was thourouly disapointed when we traded O.J., really thought and still think that barring more injuries he will turn into a decent NHL player , but with Lommikko looking like such a good fit that at this point in time a 1 for 1 looks a win for us, but then we also get Juulsen who with patience and time playing in Abby, hometown, who could turn out to be as good or better than what O.J. was projected to be, well thank you JB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Rafferty have some sort of vision problem since he was a kid? Rather than an acute injury like Juulsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Castiglione Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Really rooting for this guy. He could be exactly what we need in the D core moving forward. Hopefully he can rekindle his game as my hopes for OJ have moved to Juulsen. Man, if he gets back to that 2-way, tough game he plays he might end up beside Hughes. I got high hopes but it's fun to dream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 14 games, 0 points, -2, 6 PIM's. Had hopes for him, especially with injuries. Hope he can carve out a niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
