Why on earth would they pick him? They have Werenski, Murray, Carlsson, Heatherington, Nutivaara and Kukan already on LD.
What did Jarmo Kekäläinen write on the wall of Hartwall-Arena, the home of Jokerit?
The story is in Urheilulehti. Publicly available for all.

Olli Juolevi is Jarmo Kekäläinen.
Olli will open some eyes at the Memorial Cup. Anyone that's wondering why he's so highly rated can see for themselves. Tremendous poise and hockey sense, good positioning and plenty of skill.
If he drops out of the top 10 it will be like a 4th team winning the lottery.

It wouldn't shock me. Arizona's gm seems to be a guy who would value skill and possession heavily, which could lead them to take Keller at 7 if he's still there, which he likely will be. Then address D in bulk with there later picks.

If Dubois and Tkachuk are gone at 6, I could see the Flames taking Juolevi. As much as they need the forward help, I'm not sure they could or should pass on him.

I tend to think Calgary is going for Nylander. I think the biggest threat to take a defenseman is definitely Arizona. As a Sabres (and Juolevi) fan, I just hope they like Chychrun or Sergachev more and leave the Finn for us.

While I agree with you that he's not the best dman in the draft (I'm personally in the Serg camp) don't you think its a little ridiculous to come to this conclusion based on one game...

Agreed. I was not impressed with Juolevi at all and haven't been in my other viewings either. He looked so soft on that 1 on 1 play in the late 2nd or 3rd period. He would get eaten alive in the Pacific.

Hmm. Respectfully disagree with y'all. He didn't look great on that Spacek play, but maybe that one play in the 3rd is coloring the rest of his game or something. He wasn't anything mind blowing, but I thought he had a pretty Olli Juolevi game: smart, accurate passes under pressure, great gaps, subtle intelligent reads all over the ice. I was routinely nodding at all the little things he did.

Are you referring to Tippett or Chytka?
I don't see Tippett prioritizing Keller given he knows he has Domi as a lock on that roster for next decade.
Tippett has been vocal about adding a D. I suspect the pick will be dealt for immediate help or their top rated D who may be Juolevi but I wouldn't be shocked if it's Fabbro. AZ has a 1LD in OEL. RD harder to find.

One or two years. Needs more strength and speed. Otherwise he could make the jump next season.

Bernhardt is director of scouting. Not sure the new guy is going to completely recalibrate his teams list prior to draft.
Team is leaning towards D. No question.
