Going to say it for this thread too:

I get a kick that we include Juolevi’s +\-. When do we add his corsi?

That's after we add what he had for breakfast.

 

[DL44]

Can we add his controlled zone exits/touch/60 please.

But i think I'll like this thread 'version' best... loving the reports this season.

 

[krutovsdonut]

looks like he lost a tight game to heskainen's team today but neither appeared on the scoresheet. anyone watch it and have a review on how they both played?

Bears repeating that while Tkachuk would look great in a Canuck uni, they do have a boat-load of young forwards enroute like Gaudette, Lind, Pettersson and Gadjovich, while Horvat, Boeser and Goldobin are already here.....but that blueline...Yikes!....After Juolevi and Tryamkin who's no longer here, who else do they have in the pipeline? Hutton and Stecher look like they've plateaued and nobody in Utica jumps off the page. Unless Juolevi falls flat on his face, he's virtually the only d-man they have on the prospect depth-chart.

Stecher and Hutton have plateaued? I was not aware that d-men typically plateau in their 2nd or 3rd NHL seasons. Good to know.

I don't think they have much projection left to be honest. I don't see much room for further development so I think you're looking at #4/5 type defenseman on a good team.

So you trade one of these young forwards for a comparable defensive prospect with a team that has a surplus of young defenceman. Always go BPA.

It's a nice thought, but teams that actually draft impact d-men in the first round are reluctant to trade them for a forward prospect. You usually have to sweeten the pot with either another roster player or a draft pick. Said it before but bears repeating....when you assess the Canucks' prospect pool, the blueline is definitely their weakest link.

a good tea

Too early to say this. Stecher, especially, is a very smart player that I can forsee as a top 4 guy at his peak. Hutton? You may be right. He's a guy that seems to make a lot of poor plays with the puck. Regardless, at their age, pretty early to be concluding that they have peaked.

But now it's in the title lol.

Well all jokes aside, let's see what OJ can bring to NHL next year. Hoping for significant improvement because this year was underwhelming to say the least.

Tkachuk.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

19 year old defensemen scoring at a near point-per-game clip in a solid men's league under the watchful eye of one of the best defenders in Canucks history. I know there's a love affair with Tkachuk out there, but damn. I think Juolevi is going to be a damn good player for this team for a long time.

Not sure how strong that league is when a pair of 40 year olds who couldn't hack it in the NHL are leading the team in scoring.

It's the 4th best league in the world?
Slightly worse than AHL probably

Then you can't really respect any other league than the NHL.

Juuso Välimäki is captain this year. Tolvanen and Heponiemi up front, with Heiskanen and Juolevi on D? They're gonna be a fun team to watch.

 

[Zombotron]

That's okay.

The Finnish camp will run Dec. 15-23, and the team will make its cuts prior to the start of the tournament Dec. 26. The world juniors will run in Buffalo until Jan. 5.

So now we have at least a rough idea of when our WJC-selected prospects will head to Buffalo
