Olli Juolevi News

The Red Wings claimed Olli Juolevi off of waivers from the Panthers.

Juolevi was the No.5 overall pick in 2016 but injuries derailed his career to this point. Since coming to North America in 2019, Juolevi has only played in 99 games between the AHL and NHL--an average of 24.8 games per season. So far this season, he has zero points in 10 games with the Panthers. He is a low-risk addition for the Red Wings, who were likely looking to add some depth before they unload some players at the trade deadline.

The Panthers have acquired Olli Juolevi from the Canucks for Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko.

Juolevi was the No.5 overall pick in 2016 but has struggled to make an impact at the NHL level to-date. A lot of that can be blamed on a variety of injuries that hurt his development along the way. Still, he's just 23-years-old and goes to Florida, where he could break into their top-6 at some point.
