Why are you talking about the Olympics that were held 5 years ago? Anyway, of course the best Finnish players play usually in the NHL, but it doesn't mean that the difference between them and some of the best Finnish Liiga players is really very substantial. And there are also always some very promising rising stars, that could already even play in the NHL, but still they need to continue developing in Liiga.You're confusing arrogance with basic facts.
How many Liiga players were on Finland's 2014 Olympic team?

Why do you think the number was so low?
North American arrogance by the people that picked the Finnish team?
You are simply overemphasizing the class difference of players who have gone to the NHL and players that are top class in European leagues. There is of course a difference, but it’s not even close to being as big as you and some of your fellow North Americans stubbornly want to believe in. Also most of NHL fourth line players wouldn't be much more in European leagues. Mostly probably 3rd line potential, or maybe even in some cases 2nd line potential, if the player really has some skill, but many of them would be still more role playing energy guys in the European top leagues too.
But I’m leaving this here. We will not get anywhere, as we truly see things very differently, and this is anyway supposed to be a thread about Puljujärvi. The difference between us is though that I watch crazy amounts of NHL and Liiga games per season, and even quite many KHL and AHL games per season. I’m practically sure that you watch only NHL and maybe some AHL games. So I will leave you to your ignorance now.
