LW Patrik Puistola - Mikkelin Jukurit, Liiga (2019, 73rd, CAR; traded to EDM)

[RageQuit77]

@ChicagoBullsFan: Personally I like your habbit to make routine updates to Finnish prospects threads. I get why that can annoy some people, but I like that habit. It's easy to get sort of overall idea about a prospect simply by browsing a topic through, while getting panoramic picture of the prospect's efforts via linked tweets, vids, and box score results. If there are something I would hope to see in addition to these fragments, it would be sort of "synopsis comment" where all relevant sources, maybe few most representative vids/Gifs and other stuff would be gathered as a quick link list, maybe to OP of corresponding prospect thread (if not by you personally, then maybe by someone else). The whole point of these threads is to follow and discuss about a prospects. I simply cannot see any really good reason to whine if updates to them are made in near real time as that makes it easier to everyone to get idea about the player, his performance, and plausible projections.

If people get annoyed about your habbit, I think it comes mostly from HC-prospect scouts (in context of HFBoards), from those who already spent a lot of time with first hand sources. Other plausible reason for whining is then jealousy for some absurd off-hockey reasons. Please ignore stupid cries and continue your valuable efforts.

To me your short comment updates have been VERY good way to get introduction to players whom were before that pretty much 'neverheards' for me.

Puistola about to debyte in Tappara lineup. 4th line, so i expect the Simontaival -treatment, meaning 6 minutes TOI if he's lucky.

Also known as the Patrik Laine-treatment. Although Puistola is a year older than those two were. I still don't think we're goint to see Otto Rauhala-treatment again, which means half a season as the 13th forward.

 

[LoveHateLeafs]

I watched all of Puistola's games from last years U17 tournament and despite the fact that he was second on the team in scoring, I didn't see much that I liked. He seemed like a bit of a puck hog who tried to dangle through the other team, even when it wasn't working. Now I see he's made his Liiga debut and spent some time in the Mestis. What's his play style like now? Is he a smarter, better puck distributor?

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Scored 2 goals and assisted 1 goal vs Switzerland today's U18 4 nations tournament game.
Video of the goals comes later ( when i found it).

Jokke has some other clips too, absolutely worth watching.

Thought I would share these as Puistola is maybe a bit underrated. He has been excellent in Mestis and now he had his second career Liiga game. Played only 8:48, but he made the most of his time on the ice. Two goals against Pelicans goalie and he was on the ice both time.

12 games in Mestis (fin 2nd league) and 7 goals and 4 assist.

He's been sitting in the high 20's on my list since his excellent showing at the Hlinka, my only gripe about him is his skating, could use a jump in his step. Great edgework but not fast whatsoever.

 

[FinPanda]

Nice achievement.

 

[ijuka]

Honestly, it's a pretty meh achievement. If a player's good enough to score that many goals in Mestis at such an age, they tend to play in Liiga.

Just the fact that the record for u18 scoring in Liiga is much higher than that should make it clear that the achievement has essentially no value.

It's ridiculously hard to play for Tappara. Even if he was playing in Liiga, he would most likely get 8-10 minutes of icetime, maybe even less.

If it is was any other team, I think he would be playing in Liiga. Same with Kristian Tanus.

 

[Teemu]

Three points last night, apparently all scored 6 on 5.

I appreciate it too but now that there's finally a stickied thread for Finnish prospects I feel like people should use that one more often rather than bump all these other threads

[Intangir]

I like his skillset, but I've seen him make some really low-IQ plays, put on useless dangles and hog the puck WAYYYY too much last year, and that has soured me on him quite a bit.

Has he improved in that regard or is he still playing a solo ''F***my teammates, I want to dangle and score'' type of perimeter game?

I think he is going to surprise many.

[Makaveli]

Where do you think he goes in the draft? Mid 2nd round or possibly higher?

 

[Brett44]

I hope 47th for AVS.
