Would you rather have Jesse Puljujärvi @800k?

I don't want him back because he was the most polarizing Oiler, possibly in history. That said his fancy stats this year look good.

 

[McDNicks17]

I think I'd take the AHL over playing on that line.

Kapanen thread suddenly turned into Puljujarvi thread

Keep that donkey far away from this team.

Oh great Puljuujarvi’s agent is back.

Kapanen lead the team tonight with 4 hits.
He also drew 2 of the 3 penalties in the game for the Oilers. Created 2 PP's.

I'd say that was a successful 1st game.

So how did he look in his first game? I missed it.

Me too. Would like to hear some thoughts from those who eyeballed it.

Thanks Jimmy! Who did he skate with?

Nuge and Skinner for some of the game (I didn't watch it all for reasons of just being trash) He looked a bit tentative to me, but that's understandable.

He's skating with Nuge and McDavid on the RW. I'm excited to see how he does on the PK, this is the same system he was part of back in TO.

Thank you James.

You can definitely see the skill and the skating. But like a lot of guys like this, you can also see big lapses in intensity and not nearly enough attention to overall game and defensive skills in particular. Would really be nice if a light bulb came on like it did with Nukishkin in Colorado, but that might be too much to hope for.

What is the system that Edmonton plays called? Or you're just referring to the PK?

 

[Scrapin Ice]

Haven't waived Kasperi ....yet!

 

[McAsuno]

Hope it works out here for Kapanen.

Nice find.
Enjoyed seeing some isolated footage of Kapanen. Lots to like there...I especially like (on the first sequence) after passing the puck to McDavid the way he opened himself up for a one timer from the slot.

What was Ekholm saying to Kapanen after that goal he assisted on? Looked heated. CBC crew were speculating it was either complimentary or Ekholm was pissed about something earlier in the play
