Confirmed Trade: [FLA/VAN] Olli Juolevi for Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko

[Gstank]

Canucks fans said that injuries have ruined his mobility, right?
I'm struggling to think of a struggling prospect who left a team (due to injuries) and was able to bounce back elsewhere.

Lots of the know it alls say it wasnt because of injury..... If you look at his injury history to pretty safe to say that they took a toll on his pivoting

Hip surgery, typically a very long recovery. My guess is eventually he will do well.

conditioning was an issue in camp. He rubbed players the wrong way by coming in out of shape.

Florida gathering a bunch of Finns just like Carolina and Dallas

And

 

[treple13]

Did Florida think he was a top 5 pick in 2014 and want to finish the collection, but just confuse the years?

 

[Gstank]

IM going to set the bar high and say its Lundell and a 1st so i can be disappointed regardless.

 

[Sexy Necksy Garland]

Well they haven’t released the conditions yet. Pretty unlikely that it’s Barkov but there’s always a chance right?

Until the return is released, nobody can prove it’s not Barkov.

Did Zito just unload Nutivaara?

 

[Dread Clawz]

I don't get this at all. Zito's first bad move.

Verhaeghe - Barkov - Reinhart
Huberdeau - Bennett - Tippett
Duclair - Lundell - Hornqvist
Thornton - Luostarinen - Vatrano

Forsling - Ekblad
Montour - Weegar
Juolevi - Gudas

Knight
Bobrovksy

Bolded are lottery picks. Blue are top 5 picks.

 

[Throwback]

Guessing one for one with Juulsen. Optics for that seem pretty bad though since Juulsen was just on waivers. Maybe they didn't want the optics of Juolevi on waivers. Who knows.

? It's just a reclamation project
We couldn't have given up that much at all

juolevi has skill and a huge mental issue. possibly some experienced finnish teammates could help him.

by that logic, juolevi could still be another lidstrom, so it seems fair

He may turn out even better.

Even if it's for Lammikko which makes sense, that's a bad move. Lammer is a good depth call-up and plays playoff style hockey.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

His ability to pivot is below average at an AHL level. He gets beat wide by the likes of Lucic. I don’t know if he can overcome such an inhibiting weakness

Ankle, knee and hip injuries put him from a top skater to a bottom skater. He still has a good hockey IQ, pass and decent shot. Also really good on the PK.

 

[Wildcarder]

Juolevi has good defensive instincts and I can see him becoming a solid 3 pairing guy if his mobility continues to recover from his injuries. This was supposed to be the year though.

Vancouver's prospect pool (and their asset management though...) sheesh.

Let’s first see what he sent in return

Both Juulsen and Lammikko are gonna be on waivers tomorrow. If the rumor is true that the Canucks are looking at waivers for a C and RD, then here, have both.

 

[VijayPatel11]

There is no such thing as a bad move when the pieces are so small lol. Lammikko is an extra F and we have plenty of those. We lack depth at D. While Juolevi looks to be kind of cooked, well that's what they said about bennett right?

 

[Scorvat]

Q loves dman who can make that long pass.

Other then that doesn't have many other strengths.

Injuries are the likely culprit for lack of mobility, but he has been disappointing since drafted. London fans were disappointed by him in his draft+1 and his Finnish coaches questioned his commitment among other things in his draft+2. The injuries then followed

 

[Mogo]

Depends on return. Juolevi is a project. 750k / 1 year.

All depends on the price

Not even remotely the same situations. Juolevi hasn't been an nhl caliber player for years.
