A player doesn't have to be good in the defensive zone to have a strong defensive impact in the flow of the play.
Didn't state otherwise
I pointed out that he's playing a specialized role that limits the exposure of his deficiencies

He's playing against top competition each night with no PP time. How does that "limit the exposure of his deficiencies"?Didn't state otherwise

That would be a decent argument if advanced stats didn't show how Pulju has made positive impact to the game of every linemate he's had.By playing with the best offensive player in the NHL, who does all the puck carrying, playmaking, zone entries, and out of the cycle plays for him. He's on the ice with two superior players night in and night out, they aren't all carrying the load equally.
He's playing the same role as Patty Maroon did for Mcdavid/Drai in 2017 as a big body complimentary player.

His defensive game is literally light years ahead of Maroon. Maroon was a pretty poor defensive player.By playing with the best offensive player in the NHL, who does all the puck carrying, playmaking, zone entries, and out of the cycle plays for him.

how some of ya'll continue to shit on puljujarvi is just astounding when there's plugs like kassian on this team, good lord.
Maroon took possession and took efforts to control the puck down low for sequences . JP does not. It's not rocket appliances why JP is in a constantly better position to be back. He's not chasingHis defensive game is literally light years ahead of Maroon. Maroon was a pretty poor defensive player.
6'1 190lbs McDavid, who with one arm peels off Kopitar who is trying to check his prostate. McD's speed was not the factor on that play.By playing with the best offensive player in the NHL, who does all the puck carrying, playmaking, zone entries, and out of the cycle plays for him.

Your effort to undermine Puljujarvi's value to the team is looking obsessive...and frankly a little weird.6'1 190lbs McDavid, who peels off Kopitar who is trying to check his prostate. 6'4 205lbs JP accepts being pinned
I agree. Although it is never a good argument to go on about someone,s person.Your effort to undermine Puljujarvi's value to the team is looking obsessive...and frankly a little weird.
He’s been posting like this about him since he went back to Finland, for some reason he thinks puljujarvi did him wrong.I agree. Although it is never a good argument to go on about someone,s person.
I just choose to skip his opinions because they are not based on knowledge, but fiction.
I think this is him trolling to have social contacts, because he is about to have some responses on his provocative takes.
Nothing but the best for him though!

He doesn't have to wait till next year to score. It should be possible to continue to play the same sound game while contributing on a few of the Grade A chances that he gets from McDavid.It's not the worst thing in the world for Pulju to be playing very well defensively while not scoring too much. His offensive production can explode next season after he's signed at 3.5-4M rather than 5-6.

JP is constantly deep on the forecheck causing turnovers. Understanding when to fall back into a defensive position is not a bad quality, it's high defensive IQ to recognize when a puck isn't worth pursing and is more likely to turn over up ice.Maroon took possession and took efforts to control the puck down low for sequences . JP does not. It's not rocket appliances why JP is in a constantly better position to be back. He's not chasing
I would love for one of JP's superfans and elite defensive accusers to prove me otherwise and compile a video of 3 times in 3 years where JP took a puck from blueline to goal line and worked the puck low for a spell
Nah we need to get him on an 8. We bridged Nurse and then got boned hard. This is our opportunity for a contract like Turbo on the canes.I’d try to bridge him tbh, couple of years @ $2.5M. Long term would be better, but we need the cap now so I’d take the risk of going low and short. Unless he for some reason would be willing to sign a Jarnkrok-contract, but I doubt that.
He treats Pulju the same as the kid in high school who stalks the prom queen after she said no to going to prom with him. It’s creepy.He’s been posting like this about him since he went back to Finland, for some reason he thinks puljujarvi did him wrong.
It’s incredible how everyone has better numbers with puljujarvi if he doesn’t forecheck, support the play, pass or shoot well.
at least you’re being honest here, you’ve been cheering against Pulju since the day he was drafted. The real hate started when he spent the year in FinlandThis false and made up
This is also completely untrue. I love these made up bs narrativesat least you’re being honest here, you’ve been cheering against Pulju since the day he was drafted. The real hate started when he spent the year in Finland

Dashing Silver Fox lives. Except the quality of his posts have gone way down hill. SadThis is also completely untrue. I love these made up bs narratives
I started to question JP's "ELITE" talent when he sniped Maroon in the neck from 2ft away. Not even pro golfers get a lob wedge up that fast. Then his "talent" really became on display when he was set up on a wide open net and wound up and did a slap pass to absolutely nobody. Watching him falldown 10x in one game was also amusing
However, my posts ramped up when everyone blamed Tmac and the Org for JP's troubles when indeed it was JP himself admitting he didn't bother learning English
Now, I just reply to posts and tweets using words like"elite" "selke" and "potential to score 40"
