So you are convinced a players career is over when they are 25 years old?

Juolevi is 21. He turns 22 in May. He is 6 months older than Elias Pettersson who turns 22 in November and 5 months older than Kole Lind who turns 22 in October. Is Olli and Kole to old now too?

Who said this?

Lind and to a lesser extent Jonah Gadjovich appear to have made some real strides in his game. That’s great to see.

Anything they get from Juolevi at this point will be a bonus. I just ain’t seeing it yet. Yes injuries have nagged at him but he hasn’t done a hell of a lot when he does play. Every year we keep hoping he takes another step or two but he doesn’t. Might be wise to move him out for another pick or prospect.

Canucks prospects to watch: Podkolzin could be among best from 2019 Draft

“He’s close to being an NHL player right now because of his size and strength. He’s willing to play a physical game, and he has the hands and vision to play with good players. He plays a 200-foot game. He’s a pretty complete player. He’s got one more year left on his contract, and he’s going to honour that and then we’ll see. I think he’s a guy, with the physical skill set and the size and the strength, that can make the jump.”


“First of all, he’s a year older for his draft, so he a little more physically mature and mentally mature. He’s got good hands and skillset, and he protects the puck well. He’s strong for his size. When we get him signed and get him over here and on to the smaller ice, we’ll see where he’s at. But he’s definitely got all the tools to come in and compete in the fall. The way he plays the game and the things he’s good at, we’ll think he’ll make the adjustment.”


“I like Jack a lot. He’s an excellent skater and he’s aggressive with the puck. We think with development he can be a dynamic, real good player for us. He’s one guy who when I’m talking to other teams, his name always comes up. The type of seasons he’s had the last couple of years, everybody’s aware of his game and what he can do. There’s a lot going on in the world right now, obviously, so they’re going to take some time here in the next month or two and decide what they want to do.”


“He was one of the guys that caught our eye (at camp). He was involved in the play all of the time, whether it was with the puck and making plays or without the puck and defensively. We think he can develop into a third- or fourth-line, you know, hard-working player. He can kill penalties and block shots and play good down low, but he still has skill and can make plays with the puck. We’re just waiting to see what happens with the rest of this year, but he’s a guy we’d like to sign and get into the fold next year.”


"Tryamkin is six-foot-eight and 254 pounds and skates well enough to play hockey."

"he was unhappy with the situation in Vancouver, darted home to Yekaterinburg, where he was unhappy there, and now badly wants another chance in North America."

Could the toque possibly be a nod to his future in Canada?

I think people are being obtuse on purpose now. There is a long stretch of years between being a young gun and being over the hill.
These years tend to include the peak of a players career.

Typically young guns are teens or in their early twenties.
Mid twenties to late twenties is when most players peak.
Early thirties is when they cash in or take a pay cut to play for their favourite team or a contender.
Mid thirties is when most players quit, unless they are named Larionov, Jagr or Gordie Howe.
