The Barrie #Colts have received word that Latvian G Arturs Silovs will be playing with them this season. Nothing yet done formally however.
He will arrive after Canucks camp.

This ^^^ is new. THIS is not.

Via Elite Prospects:

The Vancouver Canucks got a steal in 2018 5th-Round pick Toni Utunen.

He's just starting to show his offensive ability, @sportsology argues.

It's on EP Rinkside by Russ Cohen, and well worth the read on the Finnish blue liner.

I project him to be either a second or third-pairing defenseman with an excellent chance of not only playing in the NHL but staying there for a good length of time. He’s playing with some great players on the national team and he looks every bit as good as them. He can cover top competition and so far he hasn’t missed a beat. He’s 176 pounds currently so he’ll have to put on some more muscle and add a bit more speed. All of these things are possible and someday soon he should be able to reach his full potential and if that happens — it’s a steal of a pick.

I’m not sure Juolevi’s knee will be 100% ready for training camp but I don’t think it’s far off. Juolevi is back in town after skating most of August in Finland with NHL players. A healthy season will be good for his development.

It might be the whisky talking but I feel like Olli Juolevi is going to have a juicy season.

Lots of interesting things to see this camp. I bet the stands are packed.
I think almost all the preseason games are on tv too.

At 19, Utunen is going to return to Tappara for probably the last time. If all goes well and he has a good season there along with a solid 2020 World Junior Championship, then he will likely come over to North America and the Canucks might have a tough decision to make at that time. Whether or not to place him in the AHL with Utica to start or to see if he’s ready to make the team out of camp. The good thing for Utunen is there will be an opportunity at the position if he is ready
