Puljujärvi played in jr-A today. did 4+1, opponent wasn't any good tough. His team kärpät won 15-2
Thought he would be out much longer since there wasn't any mention anywhere about him returning.
Okey, thanks! Do you know how many games hes played and how many points hes dunne? God I hate the fact that they dont follow stats in the jurnior leagues :/ its so difficult to follow players
Puljujärvi with 1+0 in 5-2 win vs Kalpa. Pretty good start concerning that he's playing in u20 league as 15 year old and he haven't played for 7 months.
Puljujärvi got injured in a pre-season match and was out of action for roughly two and a half months.
He's a fine skater for his size. Good, smooth stride, should do well once he adds more thrust through improved conditioning.

Nice to hear. What makes people say he isn't Barkov level talent (or even better)? Huge frame, fine skating, great skill - is it his hockey sense that is the problem here?
Btw is he a winger or center forward?

Puljujärvi is a scoring winger. Barkov is perhaps slightly more valuable because he's a centre forward with a great two-way game.
Puljujärvi has smarts and instincts in his offensive game, but his decision making can still improve. Perhaps better that I don't try to say more about his hockey sense at this point, let's see what happens once he plays against men.
When you say he's a good skater for his size, are you comparing him to players his age, or those that he plays with regularly, most of whom are up to 3 years older than he is?
His skating technique is good, doesn't matter that much who you compare it to. His speed-endurance (nopeuskestävyys) and power-output (voimantuotto) aren't quite at the level of some of his older opponents.
I am extremely curious to see him live.. too bad it looks as though Kärpät won´t be playing in Matinkylä any time soon
Patrik Laine should get some credit also. Dont know his accurate stats from ajuniors but id say he is pretty close to a point per game. Laine scored 3 goals in 2 games last weekend and also was one of the best players in u-17 tournament as an underager.
Attitude problems or not, he seems to be a heck of a player.

Clearly a bust, not even the highest scoring 98' in Jr.B this weekend. Patrik Laine and Janne Kuokkanen both had 7 points.
Yeah, and Laine scored those 7 points in two games. He also played in A-juniors on Friday and scored a goal. Puljujärvi can prepare himself for a nice career in Mestis while Kuokkanen and Laine are destined to be superstars in NHL.
Puljujärvi had three assists today against Blues. Season totals in A-juniors 8 6+5=11 +4. Pretty good, altough 5 points came against miserable Jokipojat.
