Puljujarvi is only 25 years old, has tons of potential. Playing on a team with and learning from Crosby could do wonders. Big body as well.

They can have all the physical gifts in the world but if they’re not gifted between the ears it doesn’t translate. See Jake Virtanen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have all the physical gifts in the world but if they’re not gifted between the ears it doesn’t translate. See Jake Virtanen. Jesse Puljujärvi is actually a pretty effective bottom six player who would've definitely been signed in the summer had he not gotten double hip surgery. He has a very high work ethic along with the hockey IQ. The only thing he really, really lacks.... is hands. He can't seem to dish assists or score goals to save himself, although he's done well in Wilkes-Barre. Any comparisons to Virtanen are unfounded. Puljujärvi works hard and makes his teammates better. But right now Pittsburgh needs goals and I'm not sure he provides that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Cheap depth signing. Pittsburgh signed an extra year on the off chance he proves to be better than 900k. Edited February 4 by JeremyCuddles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This McDavid is extremely talented... Gretzky/Lemiuex tier But he is not a leader... at least not yet. Edmonton could really benefit by bringing in some character guys in the room with a voice... but the problem is IMO is that McDavids voice is too loud now I'm not sure how effective anyone would be in coming into that room and setting the tone. Draisaitl and McDavid don't seem like easy guys to talk too out there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're insinuating that unless you win cups you have nothing to offer younger players? The Sedins say hi btw..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to me it's easy call. You trade one if they don't win a cup this year. I mean seriously how many years will it take the owners to see the team just can't make it??? They get a good two way winger,a goalie,prospects and whatever picks. Then cap room to fix the D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sedins say hi btw..... The Sedins are all class. McBaby and Draisaitl are the biggest whiners in the NHL. They can’t even do a proper interview with the media without whining and attitude, so how exactly do you expect them to teach younger players about professionalism and everything else that goes with winning? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draisaitl has already been quoted as saying that he wants his bag on his next contract. So you are looking at $15 million per most likely. And then McDavid will want even more than him. So I highly doubt that Edmonton will be able to afford both of them. Edited February 4 by Elias Pettersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
