Detroit Red Wings want to see new defenseman Olli Juolevi improve in one key factor

Olli Juolevi showed something to warrant being a top-five draft pick, and it's the Detroit Red Wings turn to hope that can emerge.

Juolevi went through his first practice with his new team Monday, a day after being claimed off waivers when the Florida Panthers discarded him. Juolevi, 23, was drafted No. 5 by the Vancouver Canucks in 2016, but he only lasted 23 games in that organization, and played 10 games with the Panthers this season.
