Olli Juolevi Facts

Drafted: 2016 round 1 #5 overall by Vancouver Canucks
Agency: Premium

A competitive spark-plug, Olli Juolevi is a complete, all-around defenceman who can hem the opposition in their own end or make things difficult for the opposition at home; either way, he puts the pressure on and lays it on thick. A strong and balanced skater, he can rush the puck through the neutral zone with ease or backcheck with haste. Uses his size to his advantage, but knows his physical limits and plays within them. Instead of playing overly physical, he makes his presence felt by exhibiting his high-end playmaking ability and puck possession play. All-in-all, a well-rounded blueliner who thrives under pressure and can be trusted in all situations. (Curtis Joe, EP 2016)

Brothers: Joonas Juolevi, Ville Juolevi

He quickly escapes trouble with his quick feet and good puck protection before moving the puck to the safe option
