Noah Juulsen: our analysis
2025-26 season: 52 GP, 1 G, 9 A, 10 PTS, +3 +/-, 13:49 TOI. WAR -0.3 (283rd of 325) · PAL 11, very poor.
In 2025-26, Noah Juulsen, 29, posts a PAL Rating of 11 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.3 ranks 283rd among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: discipline (78, well above average) and power play (66, above average). On the other hand, creation (2, among the weakest in the league) and possession (8, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), no component is positive; the costliest: EV offense (-2.5).
An improvement on 2024-25, when his PAL was 8; his WAR went from -0.3 to -0.3.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 24 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Noah Juulsen's story
Drafted by the Everett Silvertips in the fourth round of the WHL bantam draft, Noah Juulsen grew into a steady presence on Everett’s blue line after limited early appearances. Born in Surrey, British Columbia, he became a full-time Silvertip in 2013–14 and his play earned him an invitation to the 2015 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, an important showcase for NHL clubs evaluating young defenders.
That momentum carried into the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, when Montreal selected him 26th overall. Juulsen signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Canadiens on 9 July 2015 and moved through Montreal’s development pipeline over the next seasons, splitting time between junior and the pros as he prepared for full-time NHL action.
Montreal recalled him in February 2018 and he made his NHL debut on 22 February 2018, scoring his first league goal shortly after on 2 March 2018 in a win over the New York Islanders. The following season was interrupted by a vision-related issue after twin puck strikes to the face in November 2018; despite that setback, he finished 2018–19 having played 21 games for the Canadiens with one goal and four assists.
Juulsen’s career continued with roster moves: Florida claimed him off waivers on 11 January 2021, and he was later traded to the Vancouver Canucks on 10 October 2021 alongside Juho Lammikko in exchange for Olli Juolevi. He signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Philadelphia Flyers for 2025–26, then agreed to a two-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche on 1 July 2026.
At the international level, Juulsen represented Team Canada Pacific and earned a silver medal at the 2014 World U‑17 Hockey Challenge. His game is that of a defenseman accustomed to pro systems: a player relied on for defensive responsibility, developed through WHL competition and refined in the NHL environment.
