Sad that some posters would want to see him demoted for playing well even if it means the team would suffer because of it. They care more about their years of shitting on Puljujarvi looking correct than they do about anything else. If anyone is over dramatic it’s the few posters who just can’t vet their hate for Puljujarvi out of their system.

Yep, its a bunch of nonsense. Demoting him to play with the likes of Turris is gonna do what, exactly? Its the same exact posters who shit on JP right now that have been shitting on the kid in past years.
There's literally no logic on demoting a talented player who's playing excellently and actually gaining chemistry with McDavid.
The fact that I read of how some people wanted to demote him in order to bring up Kassian again made my head shake.

Pay attention to the speed at which Pulju comes at the beginning of this clip, it looks quite of funny or as if it's been manipulated. I mean it's not, but the speed is pretty amazing.
E: Just saw the original video and it looks very different in that one. Anyway, great work from the whole line.

Him and Connor are gaining more and more chemistry each game.
They are very fun to watch !

If it were almost anyone else many of those passes wouldn't come through. McDavid makes it look so easy, but it's not when there's several opponents close and when Pulju is going at huge speed. Many others would fail with getting the pass through or with the timing when crossing the blue line. As someone wrote Nuge also deserves credit in the last goal, a smart important move to lift the defenders stick.

He's been sprung a few times which is interesting. If he gets that going and improves net front stuff he will be a very real player.

The improvement from game to game is pretty astounding. I was skeptical about throwing JP in the top 6 and leaving him there after it didn't seem like he was producing much.
But he's proven me wrong. It's going to be fascinating to see what his play looks like at the beginning of next season.

It's early but I've seen enough to think it's essentially impossible he gets exposed. What a terrific talent and absolutely unique on this roster.
They should play him on RNH's spot on the PP, even if it means on the second unit. Putting him in front of the net is a waste of his talents imo.
I'll be choked if he gets exposed after finally breaking out!
Another goal for JP??
Send him back to the bottom 6!

Well, well, well. It sure was lonely on Jesse's bandwagon when he had hip problems. I was there, and served the time because of it! Seems like he sniped yet another one tonight, eh? I'm loving this. Second coming of the beautiful man with a tiny helmet!
Same.
I was the one who kept insisted we NOT trade him until we know what kind of player he is.
Still a -4. Really with that +/- he shouldn’t even be in the NHL. Who cares about 5 goals in 7 games. +/- from his first 10 games is all that will matter until he’s a +20.

Just a friendly Leafs fan here. Jp seems to be rounding out, his hands and feet are matching up pretty well, reminds me of Rantanen from the avs. Big skilled player, that can move well for their size. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he needs a bit of a meaner shot esp considering his size? Glad he's working out for you guys.

He’s a better skater than Rantanen but Mikko probably has him beat in pure offensive skill.

Nuge - McDavid - Yammo
Kahun - Drai - Pulju
Much better blend of speed and skill. Jesse is so fast out there and Drai needs some player he can pass to in stride. This top 6 creates more chances imo and overall just makes more sense. Every time Yammo is out there with Nuge they look great. Yammo and Kahun look more or less pretty similar out there and having both on the same line seems redundant. Ennis hasn't done anything on that line, he looked better on the 3rd line. Kahun and Drai have shown clear chemistry as well, and as ugly as that give away was Kahun has still been the best option for the top 6 of the players we have.

It was in tight, id like to see him expand his range, I could easily be wrong tho lol.

Their close skaters for sure, always liked Rantanens a bit more because it's more refined but I digress. I really wonder how JP will turn out.
his goal tonight was in tight. His one last game was from a little ways out.
he also has a wicked one timer point shot that he doesn’t get to use with how Tippet deploys him.
Anyways close to the net is where most goals are scored. One of the biggest criticisms of him in the past is too many shots from too far out.

Pulju is probably more of a straight line player, whereas Rantanen gives you that puck skill and shot making ability.
