Penguins instagram account just posted this this morning.
Guess he might get one last chance in the NHL.

It's worth a shot...I guess.

 

[LeafChief]

No risk. Why not?

 

[Mrfenn92]

No risk

 

[Whaddagoal]

Good to see Pulu get one more chance....

I'd also try Jesper Boqvist from Boston (in their AHL). Dude was pretty decent NHL capable player by end of last season with the Devils. Probably could be had for peanuts.

Speedy. Good hands, decent defensively.

Looking forward to him contributing absolutely nothing for him.

He’s just a bad hockey (NHL) player

 

[Conbon]

Should probably be an ECHL PTO

did not see this coming, i thought his nhl career was done, it is pto but still

 

[Flyer lurker]

I get why pens going it and what do u have to lose?

Saying that there is a hint of desperation in the air.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Last chance for Pulju.

 

[Coffey]

If he makes the team, Pens are a crater.

 

[Qurpiz]

So did he have the same operation Kane had, but on both of his hips? Read that he had both of his hips re-surfaced on Finnish media...

Also, if this doesn't fix Pens PP woes I don't know what will

Pens have Rakell, Rust, Acciari and Nieto injured. He can't be worse than giving Alex Nylander a third shot.

 

[Rento]

I would understand some of these comments if Pulju was an a**hole.. i wish nothing but success for the kid, seems like a truly nice guy.

He’s so so bad. But honestly, best of luck.

Columbus should have Reunited Laine and the Pul-Jarvi

“Reunited and it feels so good” he could have at least carried his gear and stroked Laines ego in his own Language…

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Pittsburgh and finnish skaters.. not a good combo.
best : Jussi Jokinen; 68 points in 91 games
most successful : Olli Määttä, 2 Stanley Cups

Puljujärvi is 20th ever Finn to wear Pittsburgh Penguins jersey.

He’s so so bad. But honestly, best of luck.

Really can't be worse than Alex Nylander at NHL level

 

[D Wakaluk]

Love it!

Let's go!

edit. awww shucks .. links still broken?

He is a nice guy, genuine.

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

This will fix the powerplay for sure!

 

[Larry Hanson]

Never know, he might click. I imagine it's for near league minimum so if it doesn't work out no biggee.

What are largest most dangerous animals around Pittsburgh?
He's not that bright, make sure they tell him not to take selfies with those animals while holding a dog.

Jesse was briefly a very good checking forward for Edmonton a couple years ago, before his hips fell apart again. There was even a very large group of Oilers posters who wanted to give him a massive extension! Of course no one will own up to it now.

That said, this is his second double hip surgery so expectations should be very low.

He’s a nice guy you wanna see succeed. He just has zero hockey IQ

 

[PensandCaps]

I like that he's 6'4. That's about it.

Oiler fans, can he be a net front option on the PP?

If he makes the team, Pens are a crater.

He can't be any worse than what we have.

Hopefully another loss gets Sullivan canned. That's the only move that will make them better.

This is the missing piece the Pens have been looking for. For years we wanted to give pool party a shot and here it is.

In all seriousness I hope he can just be a shadow of anything he was expected to be and find somewhat of his game. The injuries have been piling up and the Pens need something.

I know the biggest issue is the Powerplay but maybe Pool party walks into the facilities and bumps into Reidern and forces him to step away from Powerplay duties. That's all I got.
