Last night Ollie Juolevi made his long-awaited NHL debut. He didn't look out of place. I especially liked his last shift.
Back to back off season spent rehabbing to return to his pre injury condition first vs having that time spent improving himself hurts.Limited minutes, but he moved the puck well in that time. Seemed very calm and didn’t panic.
His camp and subsequent brief appearances have given me hope for his future, for sure.
Can anyone shed some light on Green's comment about Juolevi "playing heavier than we expected"?

OJ was 6’2 just under 180 lbs when drafted in 2016 right? Based on his frame, he would likely fill out similar to Bieksa at 6’1, 197 Lbs though likely a couple of pounds light given his style of game.Olli has put on some size apparently. Built up the physique and is a heavier, stronger player than what they saw at training camp.
May also be referring to his style of play, which is adding defensive elements and shot blocking etc...

OJ doesn’t have the girth that Edler and Ohlund have. Even Lumme was listed at 213 lbs in his playing days.
OJ plays 6 sheltered minutes and takes a hit once and all of a sudden has fixed his longstanding weaknesses with physical play. And also has put on 10 pounds of PURE MUSCLE in less than a year.
Ok.

No one said any of this.OJ plays 6 sheltered minutes and takes a hit once and all of a sudden has fixed his longstanding weaknesses with physical play. And also has put on 10 pounds of PURE MUSCLE in less than a year.
Ok.
Green, in his post game presser, actually mentioned the coaches didn’t realize how heavy a game OJ plays. Six minutes is a start. I suspect his minutes will go up. And playing PK is not sheltered.OJ plays 6 sheltered minutes and takes a hit once and all of a sudden has fixed his longstanding weaknesses with physical play.

To me OJ looked like a tall skinny kid, when drafted (and even up to 2019) who needed to do a lot of physical maturing. He getting older now, and is filling out. He’s looking like an NHL D man fir sure, and because if his elite skills (and clearly high character and compete) should develop into a top four guy. Our left side of Hughes, Rathbone, and OJ looks fabulous for years to come.There was also another report before last night stating Juolevi put on muscle over the last several months.
When someone states a player put on mass/size/muscle, they’re usually not talking about 2 pounds.

Keep in mind that it’s one thing to put on weight to begin a season but being able to carry it throughout a season is another step.There was also another report before last night stating Juolevi put on muscle over the last several months.

I think it’s more than the one game. He clearly had a really good camp and jumped over a few D prospects in the depth list. He looks like his skating and mobility has improved and that’s probably from finally getting an extended period off to work out and recover from some pretty major injuries.OJ plays 6 sheltered minutes and takes a hit once and all of a sudden has fixed his longstanding weaknesses with physical play.
