Connor McDavid says -good post.Pulju has more goals this year than Dubois, Tkachuk, and Laine.
Funny how that works eh?

Both teams seem worse. Laine on the 4th line on a team with no centers. PLD has been a lot worse than expected. Roslovic seem like the best player traded as of now.
I fully expect CBJ would have been a better team with PLD and WPG with Laine. Thoughts?
I have more faith in PLD's future in the NHL than I do Laine.
Legit question:
Why Laine has this reputation as a player with terrible personality issues, because he reportedly didn’t gel with every teammate, but Dubois gets ZERO flack for literally quiting on his team so that everyone watching saw?
Roslovic > both at the moment
I think the Jets will win, just by the fact that I never thought Laine would stay in CBJ even if things went well, and I never thought things would go well lol.Both teams seem worse.

I still see him as a legit first line C prospect. Trades aren’t won or lost in 30 or so games. He’s only 22 and he’s shown potential, and he’s not the only player to have an off year in this funky covid seasonA bunch of people overrated Dubois and claimed that he was a 1st line center even though he was on pace for 55 pts last year. Yes I know he didn't have a lot of offensive support in Clb and they play a defensive style but you should still be putting up better numbers than that if you're a legit 1st line center.
Projecting him to be a 1st line C is fine, but people were claiming he already was one.I still see him as a legit first line C prospect. Trades aren’t won or lost in 30 or so games. He’s only 22 and he’s shown potential, and he’s not the only player to have an off year in this funky covid season
I’d be farrrr more willing to be real money the PLD will improve and be a solid/great center eventually before I bet on Laine succeeding in CBJ... or ever staying in CBJ
that alone, if PLD stays longer in Winnipeg then they won already lol
Almost as if he is playing alongside the best player in the world!Pulju has more goals this year than Dubois, Tkachuk, and Laine.

I guess it was the playoffs against Tampa, kinda like people getting excited over the Canucks or StarsProjecting him to be a 1st line C is fine, but people were claiming he already was one.
I didnt correct is just so all you 10yr olds can complete ignore what the thread is about and only focus on spelling.
Almoost*Almost as if he is playing alongside the best player in the world!
There is not a GM in the league that would choose Pulju over the other three players.
PLD and Tkachuk both create space. Laine is the only one who wouldn't but even then given his skill, he would be extremely successful on that line. Everyone here is downplaying Puljujarvi's improvement but seems to be forgetting how good those other players are and how much better they are than Puljujarvi.You have totally missed the point here. Pulju is valuable for his huzzle, forecheck and backcheck, not the points. He is everywhere on the ice and also screening goalies. Puljujärvi is ost likely a better option for the Oilers, because the main thing he does is creating space for the others and relentlessly is disturbing opponents play. I doubt PLD or Laine would have the same impact albeit they are more talented with the puck. Someone has to retriewe it too...

I got killed in a thread a few months ago when I said Dubois wasn't a 1C and wasn't an elite-franchise C
To me, you can't label someone a 1C, and especially not an elite-franchise C, when their best season is 27 goals and 61 points.
Just because they are young and they theoretically have the potential for improvement, doesn't mean you can label them as 1C before they actually show it.
He still has time to improve as he is still young. But he has always given me Matt Duchene type vibes. Talented, but with questionable work ethic and questionable consistency.
Laine and Tortorella were never going to be a good fit.From the moment that trade was made, I was wondering who thought that "Patrick Laine" and "John Tortorella" would be a good mix.
Jarmo must have been high as a kite when he made that trade. Unless he plans on letting Tortorella go pretty soon.
Why do you say that about Dubois?
He is playing as expected. The guy is a borderline 2nd/3rd line center that averages 40 points a season
Laine went from one bad situation (as he perceived), to a even worse situation (Tort)
Unlikely he will return next season. Probably traded again in the offseason
