Noah Juulsen’s Everett Silvertips were eliminated from the WHL playoffs last week, as the Seattle Thunderbirds completed a four-game sweep. As a result, Juulsen’s services were available, and the AHL team in St. John’s snatched them up.
Juulsen doesn’t bring a lot of offence with him to the opposite side of the continent, posting two assists in 10 post-season games in the WHL. He will add a strong defensive presence to a team that has struggled in that aspect of the game for several years now, and should help to stabilize the back end for a tough first-round playoff series.
