On the flip side, Jesse Puljujarvi, who many thought would’ve factored into Edmonton’s top nine, is struggling. He’s been given every chance to succeed playing on a line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jussi Jokinen but hasn’t been effective.

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering the other day how Puljujarvi was doing in Edmonton thus far in pre-season. Per media/scouting reports- he was projected to be close to NHL ready last year. Granted, he's still young at 19 years old and he had pretty good offensive output in the AHL as an 18 year old.

Weird article. Puljujarvi had one game in the preseason prior to tonight and no games with RNH and Jokinen. The first time that line was together was tonight and last for one period until Puljujarvi got a promotion to Mcdavids line after 2 goals and an assist

Just heard on Sirius XM that Puck Daddy's main man Greg Wyshynski is leaving Yahoo.

Think Yahoo had already cut his staff/budget last year which probably made his decision easier.. guessing he could end up with The Athletic since they seem to be the ones doing all the hiring lately.

He describes his reasoning here, and... yeah, it's the staff cuts.

I've had that duche blocked on twitter for 8 years and 11 months

and it was 1 month too few

I wouldn't mind offering this guy a two-way contract

Puljujarvi assigned to the AHL. Didn't he have a pretty good preseason?

Decent but was outplayed by Yamamoto ... who is staying up with the big club for now.

Seen Kerby Rychel was placed on waivers for Toronto today. Last year, he had 57 points with 120 penalty minutes in the AHL.

He had the perfect opportunity in Columbus. I feel for the guy, he got some bad advice.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

We're talking about Rychel or Anderson?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

We're talking about Rychel or Anderson?

I think we are talking about Duchene.

I think we are talking about Duchene.

You sure we're not talking about Brad Richards?

I think Laine leads the league in goals this year, I would not be surprised if he cruises past 50

First visit infraction of the season. Improper wearing of the visor on Komarov, it has to completely cover the eyes.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Mason is ready

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Steve Mason's off to a good start in Winnipeg

 

[NotWendell]

5 goals on 20 shots. That’s a Bobrovsky playofff performance!

 

[Jaxs]

Poor Mason. Not the best way to impress the Jets.

I always got the feeling Rychel didn't buy into any system.....played the way He thought He needed to in order to be successful.

That was just my gut instinct, never heard anyone else say it.....I could be way off.

On a positive note He's now eligible for the Olympics.

 

[MAHJ71]

Poor Mason. Not the best way to impress the Jets.

Well he definitely isn't poor with that new contract

 

[Viqsi]

Judging by this Bruins-Preds game, those preseason proclamations that McAvoy was going to be "this year's Werenski"? Nope. Not at all, really.

Pretty good for a rookie, sure. But... no.

 

[NotWendell]

Nice people from Minnesota: "You're from Columbus? Are you a Blue Jackets fan?"
Me: "Oh hell yeah!"
Them: "Go Wild!"
Me: "Yeah, sorry about your winning streak." with a wink.
