Juolevi will never look good on a bad team. If Vancouver becomes a playoff team or cup contender i could see him being good playing 18-20 minutes a game and on 2nd pp role.
This literally makes no sense.Juolevi will never look good on a bad team. If Vancouver becomes a playoff team or cup contender i could see him being good playing 18-20 minutes a game and on 2nd pp role.

This makes no senseOlli please do something. Anything!!!!!! Olli is a bust, just the way Virtanen is. Hear me out before you attack me, the thing is he will never be a top 4 D-man in the NHL. Olli is not that good to begin with, he was over-rated to start with AND it was a poor draft choice by Benning. We will be lucky to have Olli slot into the 5-6 position on this team.
he lacks physical aspect of the game, he is weak on his skates, these are things Benning should of seen before drafting him. Look at that kid on Calgary that is a warrior. Two of the worst picks in the Benning era = Virtanen and Joulevi both will never live up to there hype, and oh yeah the gurbanson trade also. sigh Benning will Benning.
Getting pretty sour watching 3 more non-Top 5 (not even top-15) picked D-men crack the NHL and not look out of place in Chowlski (2016) Jokiharju (2017) Valimaki (2017).

like lidstrom.
Do either of us really want to go here? I mean last time, it was brought up, I just remember seeing pages and pages of derailed thread.

your call. i am quite happy with the simple fact that lidstrom took longer.
It's become his Schtick.
At least after this season even that one will have to cease.
this is true. if juolevi does not crack the nhl next year he will have taken longer than lidstrom.
But he'll still be just as good right? I can get your guarantee on that?

he'll be exactly the same player he was going to be. you can take that to the bank.

Bringing up low probability comparisons is a waste of time. I’m not sure what you are trying to prove other than point out the incredibly obvious point that some prospects don’t develop quickly but still are impact NHL players.
When a goalie prospect struggles to make the NHL and is still in the AHL at 30 do you constantly bring up Tim Thomas as a comparison?
Disagree...He also actually improved year over year, unlike Joulevi. He went from undrafted to late round pick to solid SEL player to really good, to NHL stardom.
Joulevi has not shown this type of trajectory let alone really even solid improvement.
