Rumor: Habs Have Shown Interest in Puljujarvi

[Milhouse40]

It’s that plus several other red flags like wanting to play for only certain teams and saying that the team that takes has to play him on the top 6 and play him at least 15 minutes. Grow the **** up and earn it and then you’ll play that and more.

Add the fact that he don't seems able to learn English which is a huge problem in order to coach him.

 

[Milhouse40]

Zubrus had 16 points his 3rd season (in 80 games) and i remember clearly him looking bad with the Flyers that year in fact i was very disappointed he was the return for Recchi ....

True but he did put up 33 points in 70 games the years before that.
That's the difference between him and a guy like Pulujarvi…..never showed that much yet and he should have.
Just producing more than the average 4th liner would be a start

Scherbak was a polyglot and look where that got him.

Kidding aside, how does he not have a working knowledge of English after three years spent in NA?

 

[Runner77]

If we get JP...Laine will soon follow..lol

These 2 guys are best friends.....be smart to get JP...

I'm surprised no one had ever paid close attention to Puljujarvi's logo before.

 

[ECWHSWI]

His play on the ice and the 15 goals he scored are a tangible example of his value. He would have been on his way to a third twenty goal season in a row. I didn’t think this needed to be pointed out but there you have it.

guess you did not look at the numbers of the "random players" I named...

you're right about one thing though, random players is exactly what they are!

No need for name calling.

Sherbak couldn't even speak with his girlfriend
he's such a weird kid, and his GF is even weirder

Strikes me as a buy-low opportunity, especially if a combination of mentors and a nutritionist can get this guy to watch his diet and get NHL-grade fit.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Do it Marc!

If Bergevin trades Brook for Puljujarvi, he should be fired, twice.

Don't worry I won't! My biggest concern is why this guy wants to trade Juulsen or Brook for Puljujarvie... It's like giving away a player for an AHLer

The argument is we have good prospect depth at RD between Juulsen, Fleury and Brook. I don't see any of them being more than a #4/5 D man and I think it's reasonable to move one of them for a guy that has true goal scoring potential. Yes, he (JP) could bust. But I think it's possible that none of those guys end up being more than replacement level defensemen. And I also think that all 3 of those RD's have a floor of 6/7 d men and having 2 of the 3 still gives us good depth.

To me, it's worth it. Even though he hasn't fit in Edmonton, I think JP has high end potential and is much more likely to reach his potential in Montreal than Edmonton, partially due to the fact that we do have lots of Finns that would help him feel more comfortable.

Trading Brook for him would be ludicrous... Not saying he wouldn’t fit in MTL, but he shouldn’t fetch more than a 3rd + grade b prospect. Not worth it otherwise imo.

Brook definitely has the potential to be a top 2 defenseman.

That’s how Gainey felt about McDonagh.

Maybe if you read the rest of the post and the previous replies instead of focusing on 1 line you wouldn't be so sick and tired.

And it wasn't just a handful of games, it was about 20% of the season. He spent the last 14 games with DLR and Hudon and a bunch of games throughout the season with a combination of McCaron, Mitchell, Scherbak and Lehkonen.

That's a handful for me. the kid was coming back from a serious injury and was not in game shape at all.

 

[Bee Holder]

MTL fans thinking about getting Poolparty as a good thing is as ridiculous as other teams’ fans considering taking guys like Hudon or McCarron because “change of scenery” or “ on verge of breaking out”.

PLEASE.

He’s a bust

 

[CHwest]

Who is the Finn that has a video game addiction, is it him?

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

idk about you guys, but i personally can't wait for Shown Interest to hit the ice in October

 

[peate]

Who is the Finn that has a video game addiction, is it him?

Laine maybe?

 

[Runner77]

Who is the Finn that has a video game addiction, is it him?

It was initially thought to be Olli Juolevi however, Jeff Marek who had broken the story, denied that it was Juolevi:



I don't think the identity of the gamer was ever revealed.

 

[Roadhouse]

Laine maybe?

Maybe.

As @LastWordArmy mentioned:

 

[CHwest]

Ye, doubt big time that the habs will take Pulju, we are an organisation that doesn't want to take pet project anymore.
Would really be a wtf moment if bergevin traded a top 9 for Pulju.

Drouin says hi.

 

[Whitesnake]

Could project to work with depending what you give for. 3rd rounder is fine with me. Or mid-prospect like Cole Fondstad.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Drouin says hi.

"anymore"
