Prospect Info: Olli Juolevi

[Billy Kvcmu]

Is he still suffering from Fortnight addiction?

I know you are allow to say whatever you want on this board but where is the line.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Is he still suffering from Fortnight addiction?

No, he has a very rare disease called Shoulhavpickedtkachuk.
It’s not curable once you catch it.

Juolevi can still become a solid top4 dman. He is young enough and got enough talent. Maybe won't be the elite guy we hoped for but he can still become a solid dman. A solid 4th or 5th dman is still important come playoff time.

I know I am being hopeful but he is young. Once he has played more ahl games, and is 22/23 then we can say bust.

He has to stay healthy enough to develop into a solid top 4 AHL defenseman first.

 

[Javaman]

Just curious, has it been confirmed it is/was a fungal infection on his foot/feet?

 

[Motte and Bailey]

It’s pretty extreme to say we should put a pitchfork in Juolevi at this point I mean come on what is this an OHL rookie’s party?

 

[lawrence]

put your forks away hf canucks, he's skating again.

Really happy to hear he’s back this week. Skating which is great. Season still has lots of time and is salvageable.

Juolevi confirmed with larynx problems.

Worst draft pick ever?

 

[FroshaugFan2]

All of that secrecy and vagueness for "hip soreness".

 

[mathonwy]

Effing hips problems already?

 

[tantalum]

Effing hips problems already?

Yes that doesn't seem to be a good thing. Sounds like something an organization says knowing that the surgery can wait until the off season....

 

[TeddyBare]

Effing hips problems already?

So what have been the areas of concern so far
Back surgery
Knee surgery
now hip

did he ever have shoulder surgery?

 

[archangel2]

Curious if the oilets would trade their unhappy fin for this guy

Lol, no.

Juolevi is worthless. Injury prone bust.

 

[supercanuck]

I feel it is more serious than they are leading on. There is no need for all the secrecy (after first making a big deal with announcing it in the first place) if it was minor

Benning can't control injuries after the draft.

He was a great pick at the time. I forget who it was but another dman was draft I think 7th and it took 4years before he played a game because of injuries. He is now a top4 dman. Not top 2 but still a solid important player. I just can't remember the name of that player

why was he a great pick at the time?

I've got news for you. Apparently Puljujarvi has already had surgery on both hips.

Oilers and Canucks were basically doomed in that draft....and Calgary is laughing at both teams, which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact they're a Pacific Division rival.

 

[Cucumber]

why was he a great pick at the time?

we needed a dman prospect and he was highly rated.

Some pundits even said future Ohlund.

No.

He is a great pick still.

Imagine, jumping to conclusions on a 5th OA pick before he has even played a game in the NHL.

Only once we have seen him play several hundred NHL games will we be able to conclude whether he is a great pick - or the greatest pick ever.

What pick would you consider a bad pick and why?

lol. Ohlund was a SOB when provoked; one of the best NHL shutdown guys with only one good eye. I don't see that in OJ at all. Even a guy like Edler is probably more mean (who threw his weight around once in a while before the NHL gave him a cheap suspension).

Imagine how bad it would be if Sam Bennett wasn't a bust...

 

[Pavel96]

I'm still really excited to see him play his first NHL game - whenever that will be.

Victor Mete is only 14 GP away from collecting an NHL pension.
