Confirmed with Link: Puljujarvi signs 1 year deal with Karpat, Liiga

[LaGu]

So now he's a moron AND a liar. His intention was to use Finland to force a trade and play in the NHL for a team not named the Oilers.

Seriously, if he’s traded he is 100% coming back to North America.

Willing to stay is different than intending to stay.

If you put the article in google translate it looks very much like he is prepared to go back to NA. I am no Finn though, but still.

Quote 1: The main objective is to be in Karpat all season, to play and develop.

Quote 2: If something happens the contract has an out-clause, and then there is that. But here we are and we think the whole season will be here.

Don't see the big deal tbh.

Puljujärvi with 2g in 1st period today. Still 40mins to go. He has 14gp 9g 6a and 15p for the season. Ooh, and a +9. Atleast he is upping his trade-value...

I still honestly only think he is maintaining value, not really gaining. He should be in the top 5 in scoring after tonight, which obviously was expected (at least to level-headed posters ) and as it should be.

I honestly think he needs to tear that league apart and be the clear cut #1 to up his trade value. Let's hope he continues to improve.

I still have a tough time taking scoring like this seriously.



What are the forwards and goalie doing?

The other goal:


Nice play by Mika Pyorala(aka Mika The bike, according to google translate haha).

Glad for him. But I think Jesse is a player that needs the comfort the mother coountry Finland gives. I doubt he will thrive in NA

Yeah. I think he should just settle to being a star player in Liiga. He obviously has serious trouble in learning English and thus isn't able to integrate in NA. Better for everyone.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

great news he is continuing to put up points
need to raise his trade value

 

[Paperbagofglory]

Excellent, the trade for Hall is almost complete, do your part Jesse.

 

[Llamamoto]

Pulju with 2 goals, almost 18 mins of TOI, and 10 shots.

Playing PK? I don't know...

Canes fan here. I'll give ya a 2nd round pick for Puljujarvi.

 

[McDNicks17]

Pulju with 2 goals, almost 18 mins of TOI, and 10 shots.

Keep in mind, the Liiga's shots are Corsi.

For instance, this season Pulju has 105 shots, but only 56 shots on goal.

 

[Icejoker]

If Oilers trade him , when do they get most for him ? . Is it in November or next year ?

 

[Llamamoto]

I didn't realize that. Interesting. On the Liiga website you can sort the shots by saved/goal/missed/blocked, etc. He had 6 shots on goal.

A player that has shown growing pains in years, unwiling to learn english, and dont even prduce with two top 5 players.
If Edmonton got to get high value in a trade following things needs to happen :
* Jesse becomes Assisting captain,
* Jesse is top 5 in league scoring,
* Jesse is a keyplayer in National team, and have impact in the games, esp offensively
* Jesse becomes C in his team
* Jesse learns english, cause he starts to understand what it takes
* He becoming the corner stone in the nationalteam
* He leads his team to playoff
* He is the main factor in a great playoff run.

I could see some points here becoming true, point 1 - 2 is doable, the rest is also doable, because he have the talent.
Its more about mentally understanding, personal growth, self knowledge, inner comfortlevel, social competence.

I really really wish he reach all these things, cause he could be a powerful, interresting player. Just look how easy he finds the weak spots to score, his shot ex. But its like hitting the eye of a needle from 100 meters. He has a rough path in front of him. He got the gift, but not the self knowledge, the mental awareness.

Nice to see the goal numbers at that level. Too bad he's unlikely to return to our club.

You're out to lunch when you list captaincy as a factor. He was never going to get any kind of captaincy ever on this stint and probably won't get one. Playoffs are also a given for Kärpät and won't be a showing of Jesse's talent when it happens. Liiga playoffs won't be as rosy for Pulju either.

It's always nice to expect people to just blow a league apart in every shape and form when it's clearly not what's in the cards.

Jesse doesn't need to be top 5 in points either if he clearly shows positive progress in his game.

most important is Jesse the person here.

Jesse is looking a lot better in Liiga now than he did last time he played there so he's clearly developed.

Problem with him playing in Liiga is he wont improve on his flaws because the bigger ice surface and lesser competition gives him room to go rogue meaning his positioning isn't going to get any better + he won't learn English.

The upside of this is that he's gaining confidence which he was lacking and I think that also affected his performance.
