Pulju seems to have switched back to his old Warrior stick and the toe tapejob.

I'm so glad that these 2 are away from Todd and this tire fire right now.
Do not call them up until Todd is gone.
Don't call them up until we're sure they're actually good enough to produce like top-6 forwards should.
...and Todd is gone.
You scared me into checking if it had actually happened.
Potential is all fine and dandy but when there is none being lived up to...it's only potential.Whether the Oilers ever get anything worthwhile from Pulju, I think you should remember that Pulju was almost exclusively regarded as the third best player in the draft. I personally thought he had more potential than Laine as he is that much more versatile and their numbers were pretty similar. Hindsight is 20/20.
In fact I still think that Pulju has more potential than Laine.
There is much beauty in things that still hold potential. There is progression or the hope of progression. When everything has come to fruition, what is left is only what there is - stagnation.Potential is all fine and dandy but when there is none being lived up to...it's only potential.
Potential is there, but ood's that Jesse will reach all of it are getting really slim.There is much beauty in things that still hold potential. There is progression or the hope of progression. When everything has come to fruition, what is left is only what there is - stagnation.

his contract talks don't start until the summer. This is a show-me year. I say either he gets a bridge deal, assuming his play is poor or average or even a bit above average. If he shows signs of his potential truly emerging and in the NHL, a long term deal could be in the works. Either way, the show-me year will play out.So how do we work with Pulju and negotiate his next contract?
He's been underwhelming, but has had a coach stifling his development. Hopefully Chia isn't the one making the deal here.
Bring back Pulju
Sounds like Hitchcock wants to work with his next shot at creating a Tarasenko
Blank slate too. Guarentee he gets top 6 time.I'd just like to see him with a coach that talks to players.
