how did this discussion ever get to this point???
I suggest we leave this behind. I was annoying with my detective work and while the wording wasn't exactly what I hoped he was strong enough to admit what he did. I give him full props for that and from my side hope it's in the past now. I'll jump out myself anyway.

I thought he could be our brian boyle, 15-15 guy whos a handful, but even now I think that hope is likely gone.

To be fair - a lot of people also said Bear was finished and hes had somewhat of resurgence in Vancouver. Prob will have a solid career as a 5/6 who can fill in top 4 in a pinch. Hoping for a similar arc for JP
 
They won already....by a landslide. It opened up the cap for Ekholm, who could have been scooped by another team.

The real loss was on draft day. I knew the minute his name was announced it felt wrong .
It allowed Chiarelli to trade Hall for Larsson, since he’d just drafted a future Hall replacement.

yup pulju gone in as early as next season but 1-2 years max in the nhl after this season.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted about Yam and JP again lol

Thank you for your post! I can be persistant in cases like this, I admit it and understand it can be annoying. But you know one reason I wanted to push this out from you is I think I've seen enough to know your core is good. I kind of wanted to push that good core out and maybe I'm misreading it but I feel I see glimpses of it. I understand it's sometimes tough in this forum and I'm sorry to hear about the experiences you said. It certainly shouldn't be like that. I don't know if it means anything but I respect your thoughts and messages and if it was up to me I'd rather keep you in this section. In fact I already tried to go but obviously failed, you have more to give to this forum anyway so don't take me too harshly, all is well at least from my side.
Your welcome lol.

I don’t blame you man. You even had people mocking your handle and suggesting that it disqualified you from commenting on Puljujarvi. I read those posts.

As for ‘lying’? Good grief. Seen too much of that word on these pages recently. It’s not ‘lying’. It’s exaggeration, which happens every day on this site. People need to chill out a bit. It’s a hockey board not a court of law.
 
Man this guy sucks. Doing even worse than I could have imagined in Carolina. It only took 7 games and most of their fans are already saying the same things we were.

The only defense of him is that he's supposed to be an upgrade on Jesper Fast on their 3rd line. Except he's already been relegated to the 4th line.

4th line with Patches and Svechnikov injured.
 
Do people not realize this was to clear cap for Ekholm? How is this trade not a total win by clearing 3mill and taking no money back? Oilers fans here complain about everything.

The only way some Oilers fans here won't stop with the bitching is if Holland traded Puljujarvi for Makar with 50% retention.

Who is this guy talking to? Use the quote function because I don't see anyone complaining about getting rid of Pulju.

Even the 3 or so supporters he had left on here seem to acknowledge he was traded for cap space which was used to acquire Ekholm.

This post has the vibe of the crazy homeless guy entering a random building and screaming at everyone inside that they're all traitors for working with the aliens

Any updates on the guy whose rights we got in the trade?

Putting up 40 points in 60 games is nothing to scoff at in the SM-Liiga. Would love if this guy turned out. He's also leading his team in points at 22.

Pretty decent season all in all I think, from the player point of view, team didn't do very well. He's on "summer break" now though, since a couple of weeks. Jukurit did not qualify for the playoffs in Liiga. He only played 4 games after the trade, then his season was over.

As @ohheyhemsky pointed out, leading his team in pts in the regular season.
Maybe add to that his stats in the champions hockey leage, 9 GP 1 G 7 A 8 pts, as in reg season he led his team in points. Team was eliminated eliminated in QFs.

His contract should be up this summer, so I guess it is not yet clear where he plays next season (could be wrong about that though, just speculation)
 
This offseason will be interesting, I seriously doubt his agent who's pushed this whole scoring line narrative his whole career will be accepting an offer that NHL teams will want to pay.

At some point play on the ice is more what you are than your draft pedigree, ask Cam Barker.

Would be disappointing to see him back in Finland or Russia still chasing that top line player dream.
 
I don't even see the point of talking about that Puistola kid either. It's been almost 4 years since Carolina drafted him and he's never even played in North America.

If he didn't like his chances of cracking Carolina's roster of forwards and doesn't want to do the AHL thing, then his chances don't fare any better here.

Looks like he's content in staying in Finland and being the guy there. Maybe Jesse should do the same.

Thanks for the information. About this part, I thought I’d read on here that he had signed an extension just before the trade.

I remember on draft day when Jarmo passed on him and everyone just thought we won the draft.

I remember getting caught up in the Finn mania of that WJC. I was a huge Liane fan after that but was impressed by JP too.
As usual, i dove into my summer ritual of internet scouting.
My first sour of JP was a vid i found of how many shots he misses. Prime chances he was blowing with terribly placed shots. Also, a few other things i picked up on.I was skeptical to say the least when we drafted him

However, 3 things early on made up my mind this guy sucks. Watching him lose every single board battle in a prelim game for Finland. He was cut right after that .

Watching that comical attempt at a slap pass to McD while he had an open net.

Admitting he didn't work on english despite clear communication from management to do so.
 
I'm glad they finally turned the page with no regrets. This donkey was given every opportunity possible and he pissed it away. I think the fact they hit a home run with Kostin really softens the blow, at least that is the way I see it. It's a pretty thorough indictment when you are given a chance to play regularly with a guy that may be the best hockey player ever to live and you can't make it work. I don't think I'll have many thoughts about the Donkey King from this point onward.

 
A shame it came to this but like I said it was time to let go. At least there was a bit over a year of a good, productive time, but then at least as much of a very cold time.

Some said it's ridiculous to think emojis are used to stalking or trolling, but it's time to open eyes and mods may want to keep an eye on this to keep this forum as.a better place. One good example is @capazzo stamping 10 laughing emojis to my posts within two minutes. I could find ways to be nasty as well but I'll stick to my plan and step aside. Just wanted to use this example to show I did have a point in what I said about that and mods may want to pay attention to that kind of things in the future if it gets more common.

If you’re going to let emojis on a hockey Internet forum bother you this much then I fear for what you’re like in the real world….
