Brewin Flames Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Florida has acquired Olli Juolevi from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko. "We are excited to welcome another young defenseman like Olli to our organization," said Panthers GM Bill Zito. "We look forward to Olli developing with our club as he joins our deepening core on the blueline." The 23-year-old blueliner skated in 23 games with the Canucks last season. He posted two goals, one assist, 24 shots, 30 blocks and 23 hits. Juolevi was chosen with the fifth overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft.

yave1964 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Really surprised the Canucks gave up on Juolevi, they have hyped him for years, he really was not bad last year, I really thought he was going to claim a top four spot, looks like with OEL they decided to go with the safer steadier Juulsen who is technically sound but has very little offensive upside. I still think Juuolevi is capable of 35 points in the right situation and with Yandle moved on he might have a better shot with the Panthers.
