Olli Juolevi, who had become a distraction for the Vancouver Canucks, was traded by Jim Benning on Sunday. Juolevi leaves Vancouver for the warm sun of Florida, while Noah Juulsen and forward Juho Lammikko make the opposite trip.
So former Montreal Canadiens first-round pick Noah Juulsen comes into the fold from Surrey, British Columbia. Surrey is stuck on Vancouver, so the Canucks were certainly the 24-year-old's youth team.
For the Panthers, not surprisingly, the organization just picked up their 3rd top-5 draft pick in a matter of months. Juolevi is able to produce offensively in the lower league, but in the National Hockey League, he still hasn't found his landmarks, so let's hope he finds them in Florida.
