Confirmed with Link: Jesse Puljujarvi 2 years 800k

[Jacob]

He looked fine to me but not PKing is going to hurt his chances of getting in the lineup if he isn't scoring.

He was pretty physical, surprisingly so. He threw more hits in a 3-4 game stretch than Acciari does.

Why is Jesse not playing?

Bad at hockey

 

[Kaptah]

Should have played more minutes against Vancouver. Played solid defensively and was a physical force. Looks good on bottom six role. Should be tried on PK.

Because of the clip you posted probably. Sullivan doesn't accept mixing things up physically....unless you're Harkins.

tbf I haven’t seen an ounce of offensive ability from him yet. A solid enough fore checker. Hoping to see more as time goes on

Sadly there's not much to see offensively. He is really most effective standing and creating havoc in front of the net, and that probably should be his role on Penguins 2nd PP.

Seems like everytime JP gets the puck he just dumps it off into space or slides it around the boards.

He is Harkins drafted #4OA.

A complete zero offensively.

So, in line with most of our forwards then…heaven forbid anyone actually skates the puck through the middle of the ice to the net…

Been 32 games since the guy scored a goal... 25 games between EDM and CAR, now 7 games with the Pens.

Now do Harkins.

0 goals in 39 games…no idea with the Jets lol

0 goals in 39 games for PIT this year...

1 goal in 54 games between PIT and WPG.

Found it lol, he lat scored 12/22/22 vs BOS, then played 4 scoreless games rest of the season for WPG. So, 0 goals in last 43 games played.

Yep have noticed the same thing. Off the puck he’s been decent. With it - he gets rid of it asap

reminds me of me when I started playing hockey. just cleared the puck immediately after 2 seconds lol.

I wanted it to work, but I can't grandstand about how Sullivan hates Euros with these guy. His offensive composure and skill is non-existent. Hopefully he only plays a few more games. Gruden or Poulin would be better

I am with you on this one. he showed me nothing, I mean literally nothing, could that change, maybe, but right now he is the least deserved to be in TOP 12. Don't see any upside there...

I slightly disagree. I think he could be an adequate L3 or L4. Just don't expect him to do anything offensively. He's a reliable defensive player and it blows me away he doesn't get a longer look considering who the coach is. He's basically ZAR who got spot L2 duties fairly frequently.

Same number of goals my gramma has over the time frame.

And I bet your grandma cooks way better food than Harkins

She hits harder too.

maybe I am missing stuff, What does he do well defensively? by the time he slugs back to our zone they already had 3 shots on our goalie, he can hit, but only around the NZ where the traffic is tight and he does not need to chase anyone...please ping me the first time you see he closes on someone...look I am a sucker for a new guy allways, hack I would have tried all the AHLers by now but I am not seeing anything from him. Hope he proves me wrong

This is precisely why I always mockingly bring up the "American factor" with regards to Sullivan. Puljujarvi essentially plays Sullivan's dream style, yet because of his passport he's not getting the same kind of rope that all these dime a dozen scrubs from the US/NCAA get.

 

[Fordy]

he's a heart and soul guy with a deceptively good shot
