*Two picks later, not wanting to twist the knife, the New York Islanders took Quebecer Anthony Beauvillier.*
Juulsen was never able to settle in on a regular basis with the Tricolore, in part because he was never able to stay healthy. On January 11, 2021, the organization decided to place him on waivers, which is when the Florida Panthers claimed him.
Slowly but surely, the 24-year-old has been building his confidence with the goal of settling into the NHL for good. Obviously, his head coach Bruce Boudreau seems to like him a lot, considering that he is currently playing in the Canucks top-4 defense.
Juulsen has never been a high scoring defenseman in the pros, but he plays good hockey defensively. He wouldn't have hurt the Montreal Canadiens this year, who are sorely lacking in right-handed defensemen in their lineup.
