The Vancouver Canucks signed defenseman Olli Juolevi to a three-year entry level contract Friday.
The Canucks selected Juolevi fifth overall in the June draft, making him one of three Finns to go in the top five.
The 18-year-old finished third among Ontario Hockey League rookie defensemen in scoring last season with 42 points on nine goals and 33 assists in 57 games for the Memorial Cup champion London Knights. He also helped Finland win the 2016 world junior championship.
