One of the greatest mispronounced hockey names I remember was Juha Ylönen in one of EA Sports NHL games; it sounded like the guy was saying Yellow-nen :D

To keep this even a little on topic, there was a nice little article on YLE website about Juolevi today. I'm on a phone so I'm not able to post a link or a translation, but hopefully someone else is.

"Fedoriffi" and "Teppo Winnipegin Nummisen Tee-Teppo Nummisen Winnipeg" with same sentence

I hope that the Leafs second 1st round pick actually comes to fruition and he either drops to that 11-16 range or we package that pick and a 2nd rounder to get into range to draft him. He looked really solid out there. It also depends on who the Leafs draft. If they came out with Chychrun first, getting Juolevi would literally set our D core up for years.

I'd take him 5th if we had the pick. Guy already plays like a professional player
 
Yep, this is a guy a team can build on. Definitely #1 defenceman potential
 
Best defenceman in the tournament so far. He have been just good as Laine and Puljujarvi. Reminds me so much off Lidström. That poise, that skill and versality. Not gonna say he is close being that calibre of player but that style.
 
If Buffalo misses out on the top few picks...this could end up being the partner Ristolainen has been waiting for.

This is the first thing that came to my mind as well. Just unreal for his age.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has more points than McDavid had in his draft eligible WJC year when all is said and done.

I think Toronto is going to take Juolevi in TOP10.
Mark Hunter is former GM of the London Knights OHL team so i'm sure he knows Olli's star potential already really well.

As a Finn i wanna see Ristolainen and Juolevi together in Buffalo.
But how likely it'll be.

I think he looks more impressive than he should because there is no other good defensemen in team Finland. He is amazing but he is draft eligble and should be #2 or #3 in a normal top 4 WJC team.

Weird way to think. To me it's much harder to look impressive when you have to be the #1 defenceman at that age than to play safe #3-4 role. He's now proving that he can be the #1 defenceman and excel at that.
 
Have been a big fan of this kid since I saw him play last season. Definitely looks like he'll be following in Risto and Maatta's footsteps. He's just so poised at all times. They showed a sequence on TSN where he rushed the puck up the from behind his own net all the way into the oppositions corner, and it looked like he was toying with the other team.

I'd take him in the top-five without hesitation, I have less questions about his future than some of the top-end forwards (outside of Matthews).
 
looked very good and opened up my eyes today. i project him to be a perfect number 2-3 D when its all said and done.
