Probably neither. But to play devil's advocate, being excellent in a foreign league doesn't necessarily translate into the NHL, and vice versa. If there's some aspect of his game that the Pens think will work in the NHL/AHL, by all means bring him over. I don't know enough about him to make a judgement one way or the other.
Probably neither is usually a good answer But even when it comes to what his game is about, the Finnish fans and Pens staff (and even WBS fans) seem pretty sharply divided. It's weird.
Poulin is not close to being NHL ready from what I have read. Same with Addison. Bjorkqvist is our closest NHL ready prospect IMO.
Him and Lafferty - but I don't think their ceilings are particularly high.
