Laine seems to have had some trouble with his game, but he's managed to save the situation by scoring already four goals. However, his situation has been quite different from Pulju's, as he's been playing much more and in Winnipeg they really want to utilize Laine's shot. I'm surprised this hasn't been the case with Edmonton and Pulju, since JP has an amazing shot as well.
Pulju also scored in his first game, but in the next game he got only seven minutes or so, while Laine played over or at least about 20 minutes if I recall correctly. So you can tell the strategies with these two young guys are quite different. If Edmonton tried to use Pulju in a similar way during PP there's a good chance he'd scored more. It's also different to play when you know one bad mistake can send you straight to AHL. Pulju also missed the tough WC games so he's only had three "real" games with limited time on the ice.
I wouldn't like to sound like comparing the two Finns, but the fact is that statistically there is no big difference with these guys, and if there's an edge it goes to Pulju. Last fall was a clear exception though and Laine has the valuable experience of the World Cup And World Championship games. As a Finn I'm excited that Laine has started his season so well, I think there's a great chance he will score loads of goals already this season. However, at the same time it should be remembered that without the responsibility and ice time he's been given he might have had a different kind of a start to the season. That's why I would love to see Pulju given a good chance especially on PP. Then if it's not enough he may well be sent down to AHL for at least some time. I'm personally positive that you guys will end up being very happy to have him in the team, the season has only just begun.
Sorry I mentioned Laine so many times in a single message. I just ment to underline the different situations the two players have in their teams. I'll try to stick to Pulju from now on. I also know that for some people praising a player coming from his own country is a red flag, but I really think that Pulju will be a better player than what #4 would let one assume.
