Really hope that he’s finally healthy this season. If so, he could push Mete/Kulak out of the lineup. He’s a really solid defenseman and he’s been good enough to be a full-time NHL defenseman for 2.5 years, but the injuries have held him back.
To be fair, we're talking about a player who has played just 91 games in the past 3 seasons combined, and whose best AHL season looks like this: 31, 1-5-6 [-9]

That's not exactly confidence inspiring.
He's literally been injured for most of his post-draft career. Signing him to league minimum to see what he can do while healthy is a great signing. His best AHL season was done while injured, as well.

Points have nothing to do with Juulsen’s game. Also, worst case scenario, it costs the habs just $125K, so it really can’t be a bad deal.

Yup, but missing significant time due to injury at this stage of his career 100% has affected his development as a player. The question is: how much.
