Olli is not good enough to play against top-sixers and Schmidt would be wasted playing down the lineup. It's the natural order of things that most young guys start lower in the lineup playing along side other lower-level players. If they're good enough, they eventually rise above that. And Myers is not a problem on the third pair so it's not as though Olli is being dragged down by a weak partner.
I said ideally. Juolevi's been refreshing, but he's not leapfrogging Hughes or taking over for Edler, I'm talking about covering defensively for Myers, and...well ask around, I'm a bit of a Myers apologist.
I just don't want Juolevi hammered into a defensive role, that's what I feel is a waste of what we have in someone that could still be a solid top four option in all areas for us.
