Who was the stronger HFPen?

Cult of Puju vs ZAR's mom

What are Koivunen's stats since Pens acquired him? His stock skyrocketing, no?

Regular season: 2 gp 1+0=1 +1
Playoffs: 8 gp 5+7=12 +2

 

[Kaptah]

Benching a defensively dependable Pulju who is +2 when the season is on the line amazes me.

 

[wheelz87]

Apparently zoho was doing stuff in Wilkes? Dude has been a big zero with his call up. Might as well play pulu.

 

[The Old Master]

Its more like the players rather shoot pucks AT Carter than anything.

if it gets them shooting, then it's a good thing

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Pulju seems good for 10g and 10-20a a year. He's not bad defensively, and a big body that isn't afraid to throw it around.

At worst he's a 4th liner or a 13th forward. They should really work on his net front presence and tipping ability on the PP in practice.

At 800K/year all I see is upside.

Old bump.

But as an Oiler fan I would've loved to have Puljujaarvi back at that price. I know everyone is losing their shit over the Holloway Offer Sheet, but JP has always shown way more than Holloway. Our mistake was giving him $3m AAV.

Defensively reliable, huge reach, awesome speed. We just wish he paid the price a bit more in dirty areas, or had more accuracy in his shot.

He's still sort of a fan favorite in Edmonton. He was like a lovable idiot. We always wanted more out of him, but what he brought was pretty good.

Not sure what happens with him this year. Could land any where from top line to back in the A. Training camp is going to be a bloodbath.

 

[BusinessGoose]

We'll give him back for a 3rd

 

[Jacob]

I see him as 13th-15th on the forward depth chart but injuries could keep him in the NHL all year. Probably behind Acciari because of Sullivan and in competition with Puustinen & Poulin.

He probably gets waived.

I'd claim him. We need speed in the bottom 6 with McLeod Foegele and Holloway gone

Pretty sure Pooljuice would quit hockey if Edmonton claimed him.

I liked the idea of Puljujarvi as a reclamation project succeeding, but we all knew in reality it would just never happen with the way Sullivan would utilize him to make him useful. If anything Jesse was able to prove to himself that his surgery did help fix his issues and that he can still play, but I almost hope he gets waived and a smarter coach sees a way to use him and he thrives.

Bemstrom being waived and picked up would be just perfectly fine, there's zero need for him in any sort of depth and in WBS. Not even sure why they kept him to be honest, JP I can see why but Bemstrom is a waste of a contract slot.

 

[Jacob]

We’ve got like 7 reclamation projects but only a couple spots even sort of available.

Like maybe a top 6 wing spot if DOC plays his way off the 1st line, and a 4th line spot.

Ideally I would rather it was just Glass that was the reclamation project, the rest along with the trash - Puljujarvi, Bemstrom, Acciari, Eller, Hayes, and Nieto can f*** off. Beauvillier I am somewhat ok on as one as well as he's a LW that could swap with DOC and the left side is rather thin. But I also suspect Sullivan will find any reason he can to not play Puustinen in usage that helps the team.

DOC has been playing his way off the first line since he got there. We just don’t have anyone to replace him with.

 

[Kaptah]

How is Pulju looking in camp, any chance of him getting a spot to start the season?

Waiver bait.

Sullivan has his new veteran toys.

Rakell as the LW on that line is quite literally a better option. Bunting would be a smart option considering how much the camp is trying to make Hayes-Geno a thing.

Horrendous.

 

[SEALBound]

After Sullivan's comments, I have to think that PoolParty is playing his way off the team and into WBS. Which, honestly, would not be a bad thing for him. He didn't look terrible last year on the 4th line. I think if he wants to continue his NHL career, it's via the "be a good vet player in the AHL and be ready for a call up" route.

That said, losing him to the waiver wire is hardly the end of the world.

I was there in person two of the three days. I honestly thought he looked engaged, played more physical than I usually see from him, and scored a goal today in scrimmage (maybe yesterday too).

There's a big logjam, but it's possible he makes it. If not, he's cheap and easy to bury.

 

[BusinessGoose]

He's a bunch of average on a team with many other bunch of average players

Then you missed the day where Sully freaked out on him and he turned the puck over directly in front/ near his own net

He had a better day today but he's had a couple of not so good ones. Scored a couple today in scrimmage games but at this point he needs to do a lot more and more consistently to even be a 13th forward option.
