Let’s talk about a few Vancouver Canucks-related transactions. Firstly, it’s Oscar Fantanberg, who recently signed a contract with the SKA St. Petersburg hockey team in the KHL. This opens another defenceman spot for the Canucks, leaving guys like Olli Juolevi, Brogan Rafferty, and Jack Rathbone in contention for those opportunities. Do we see a Juolevi inserted into the lineup full time next year as a press box option to swap out with Jordie Benn?

Olli Juolevi was one of the top NHL prospects at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.

  1. to be honest, I'm ok with a regression this year. It's time we started playing our prospects and seeing how it works out. Worst case scenario, after putting Sven, Ericksson in minors and Ferland on LTIR, we'll have some cap space to pick someone or claim someone when season starts.

  2. i can never figure out what legorocks says at the end of each video..

  3. I really hope the Juolevi that showed promise from his draft year shows up. The same guy who helped quarterback the powerplay with Victor Mete, with Mitch Marner/Matthew Tkachuk/Dvorak up front. The trio of forwards almost all averaged 2 points a game that year.

  4. Oscar did an admirable job in his limited opportunities with the Canucks. I also thought that OJ looked at home in the 2 games we saw him in. That said, he was sheltered somewhat from what I could see. With Benning having his chequebook taken away for free agency, we will have to use what we have. I could see Edler, Hughes and Juolevi on the L side; Myers, Schmidt, and Rafferty on the R side, with Benn able to sub in on either side. That will also give guys like Rathbone and Woo top minutes in Utica.

  5. As long as we shelter Juolevi and manage expectations i think he will do fine. I do hope he gets some PP2 time to replace Edler at the point since this is more than likely Edlers final year in the NHL.

  6. I really want juolevi in, he still has potential to be a good two way defensemen

  7. Get Benn out of B.C , waste of a roster spot. Fantenberg should be on the team, not Benn.

    Everyone , pray
