Teemu Pulkkinen II: Re-signed 1 year 735k

[nafnlaus]

RW. Plays the left side (or point) only on the PP.

In Grand Rapids he played both sides,Left and Right (i think)
his position on PP wasn't locked either(not like Ovechkin's is),its either
in left point,left side of blue line,or between points.

For Griffins, his role was kinda free,
mainly because,there wasn't a spot that he couldn't score from

Pulky can score from anywhere/everywhere
and he is everywhere on the ice,you just gotta have a
good enough player with high hockey IQ to find his blade,
cause he is ready to shoot 24/7.

PULKCANNON LIVES FOREVER

Thanks guys!

Will he get as good a shot with the wings the coming season or should he start learning russian?

He'll be with the Wings this season.

 

[mattihp]

He'll be with the Wings this season.

At least half of the season?

Some quality line mates?

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Yes, no.

He will be up with Detroit for the full season. I think he will get a good deal of power play time but don't expect him to play in the top six.

Pulu can talk with Pavel in English.

 

[Konnan511]

I still get a chuckle that he won the goal scoring title and only played in 46 games.

 

[Frk It]

Can a Mod update the thread title please?

 

[chances14]

as much as people go on about his cannon. his accuracy and shot selection sure sucked when he was up with the wings imo. I was not impressed at all with what I saw

hopefully that improves this season

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Nice. That's a good price for one year of Pulkk.

 

[JPE123]

Good deal for both. Pulk has a lot to prove and I believe he will

 

[Luca]

One-way deal?

 

[Heaton]

One-way deal?

He's out of options so it has to be.

 

[Shaman464]

He has always been able to raise his game to the next level. I see him under Bash, who loves him, succeeding.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

So now just Jurco to resign, And I would Imagine that he will get a similar deal as to what Pulkkinen just signed for.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

One-way deal?

Yup one-way deal Holland already said that he will be playing with the big club.

 

[Frk It]

One-way deal?

His waiver exemption has expired, so it does not matter what type of deal it is. He would have to be exposed to waivers to be sent to GR, and he would never clear, and they will not lose him for nothing.

 

[joe89]

I do think he'll be given a top9 role by Blashill to start the season. But he'll have to earn it, a lot of guys that want his spot.

 

[Brandel*]

He's out of options so it has to be.

It doesn't have to be. Won't make much of a difference though because he'll never pass through waivers.

Could have been nerves. When you start slumping as a rookie and you have Babcock breathing down your neck with every mistake you make it can make it hard to relax out there and be patient.

 

[DanZ]

Solid "prove your worth" contract.

 

[Konnan511]

He's out of options so it has to be.

Lando and Mitch are on two-ways, options don't matter.

Let's just hope he proves that's he going to be more than just a 3rd line tweener at the NHL level.
