His major limiting issue? The fact he turned 19 years old this month...
It sorta sucks for Puljujarvi that Matthews and Laine did so well in the NHL because it makes Pulju look like a bust when he really isn't.
He's tracking around how a 4th overall pick should be.
Marner: Not in NHL at age 18/19.
Bennett: Still finding his way in the NHL.
Johansen: Didn't crack the NHL until 19/20 but struggled early on.
Kane: Thrown into the NHL at age 18 and put up 26 pts in 66 games.
Puljujarvi: 8 pts in 28 NHL games, 28 in 39 AHL games.
Oiler fans shouldn't be worried at all
Then there's also Scheifele.. and even better: Wheeler!! who he's been compared to
