Confirmed with Link: Wings claim Olli Juolevi off waivers from Florida

[Bench]

The only times I noticed him last night, he was pooping his pants.

That's quite the cry for attention.

Man, I got crucified on the Detroit Red Wings Subreddit when I wrote that he is not gonna do anything for us. People were howling about how high he was picked in the draft, and that he is still so young and can develop so much.

Give it a month or 2 for them to realize. There is more than just reading his stats on eliteprospects and reading draft reports from years and years ago.

Reddit? Lord. The annoying facebook group I belong to is better for Red Wings discussions than Reddit.

Heck, pair him with Seider on the top 2 and see if he suddenly sprouts a hockey IQ just from his proximity to Big Mo. Worst that can happen is we get better draft position.

Osmosis lol.

 

[Dotter]

His first game he looked serviceable. Last night he was a bit of a mess.

 

[Oddbob]

He is what a I expected. Softish player who makes soft passes and soft dumpouts. He doesn't skate well or defend well enough to be in this league from what we see from him.

How many games has he played for us now?

I try to follow him on the ice, but I don't always find him.

In addition to every 3rd pass of his getting picked off, he’s got Rasmussenitis. I’ve seen him fall down 3 separate times with no one else around him and it’s been 3 games. There’s a disconnect between Juolevi’s brain and feet.

The turnovers have been glaring But yzerman needed a warm body to finish the year. Might as well take a shot on someone with pedigree and hope you can tap into some potential

That's basically it. And it was expected he would be a bit rusty. But man. He looks pretty bad. Hopefully playing regularly down the stretch gets him on track, but if it doesn't I'm not sure this kid is even NHL-caliber. For now he's nothing but filler.

So how is Ollie working out? To think we passed over Tcachuck for this tomato can still makes my blood boil

I'm not sure he gets a QO.

He was picked up solely to be a warm body and cover a potential roster hole in the lead-up to the trade deadline. I don't see any way this kid has a future in Detroit. Seems like injuries really sapped his career, which sucks for him as well as you guys who hoped for better when he was drafted (before the injuries).

Hasn't done much, doubt he gets re-signed. Wallman has been better and I'm not sure he gets signed either.

It's just been a small sample size, in a lot of losing games, but Walman hasn't been bad or the issue, and i'd keep him over a few others right now.

Juolevi was a healthy scratch and Walman got twice as much ice time as Oesterle in the last game.

Did anyone actually expect him to be back with the wings next season come on
