Olli could never get on track. Injury after injury, then in his first full NHL season avoided injury but by all accounts had the worst case of COVID on the team during the out break. Some of the really bad stuff being attributed to Hughes was actually Juolevi.
By the end of last season, Rathbone had passed him. Hunt has now come in and out played him (I guess. I disagree, but yeah). Between that and his cute roll around the ice after the bag skate, this was probably it for him. Team knows he probably doesn't clear waivers if he goes down, so see what's out there for him.
Can Juolevi get on track? I still legitimately believe so, but it wasn't happening in Vancouver. There was just no avenue that the Canucks kept him this season after he was on the outside looking in for the Canucks top 7. Whether it was by trade or waivers.
