This is a very reasonable point. But one has to use what one has. What these numbers showed is that there is some evidence that given better opportunities Puljujarvi has had some success. 400+ minutes with McDavid for example is a decent sample size representing about one would expect over about 1/3 of a season. They don't prove that as a full time top 6 player he will achieve anything significant but at least they suggest that when playing with skill he is not a complete passenger.I’m not a big per 60 guy. Production doesn’t just stay equal the more minutes you play. These small samples skew the numbers.
Ultimately it is in the team's best interest that he succeeds.
