Wanted to test him out in Edmonton but oh well.

 

[Leafs87]

This is a very expected next move knowing how his career went so far

 

[themelkman]

Assuming someone was interested, I have no idea why new york wouldn't trade him. If your not going to play a guy, honoring a trade request is the right thing to do.

Kunlun Red Star would make sense...

 

[BatVader]

Following the Puljujarvi path to success

This never made sense to me. Because the message was always contradictory to me. Its saying we don't think you're good enough and need an attitude adjustment. But also saying (what I assume) that he has value and is talented and that the Islanders didn't want to sell low.

This kid will comes back eventually and will probably make NYI look bad

Lou shopped him, no one called.

Lou placed him on waivers, no one picked him up.

One way ticket to Russia it is.

Doubtful. He's always had attitude problems. He's 24 now and wasn't even that dominant in the AHL. He's just not an NHL player.

He cleared waivers, no one was interested

Isles fans won't be holding our collective breaths.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

How long before it's the Swiss league?

He f***ing sucks and has a terrible attitude

 

[Kevin Musto]

Surprising no one wanted to give him a chance.

Surely his "attitude problems" can't be that bad.

Satire?

 

[Kevin Musto]

Satire?

No, I'm actually surprised.

No other organization is confident enough in their development staff to take a flyer.

 

[BondraTime]

No, I'm actually surprised.

No, no other team is confident in Ho-Sang.

We are talking about Ho-Sang here aren’t we, no clue how anyone could be surprised.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

And Reaves, Subban, Kane and etc don't count to you or something? When it comes to NHL GM's, they only care about one race, the playoff race. If you can help them win, you could be blue and they wouldn't care.

That’s not true if it were Slava Voynov would be on the leafs. The league is pathetic I want him on the leafs.

as an Islander fan I can't say I am opposed to seeing this , but I wouldn't be surprised if he never gets a shot again given how the NHL is

He f***ing sucks and has a terrible attitude

you know nothing about him

 

[Gnashville]

No, I'm actually surprised.

Most teams had him on their “Do not draft” list because of his attitude and work ethic.

Do you have examples of this still being a problem? I don't pay much attention to the Islanders so o haven't heard anything.

It just seems weird to me because he has good AHL stats. It seems like he just needs someone to steer him in the right direction.

 

[Korpse]

I am saying PK would not have been given a chance, he was a can't miss prospect so he was going to get playing time


really? stats and the eye test do not agree with this

lol at the sample sizes

Organizations trust their Scouts more than anyone and when they red flag a guy it usually stays with him. Plus he hasn’t really done much to erase the stigma.
