exactly. Pre-war time he would have been exactly what KHL teams wanted.Honestly, this guy is a very nice guy, almost childish. He is very athletic and strong.
… problem is, he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Agreed. I think Aho would be very very close to wanting a trade to Montreal after that. Get the old gang back together. Laine - Aho - Pulju would be a lethal line, again....screw it, come to Montreal to finish the season...Hughes luvs Reclamation Projects...![]()

Ok I shouldnt have googled that...or Aho would commit Seppuku...![]()
That would be incorrect.Puljujarvi has had lots of chances and just isn't good enough. Plain and simple.
It's not for want of opportunity.
Pulju, damn he could have been something special.It wasn’t time sadly
If you would have told me in early 2016 that both Laine and Puljujarvi would turn out to be duds, I wouldn't have believed you. I was so friggin high on both of these dudes. I still remember my reaction when Columbus took PLD over Puljujarvi.
Good times.
I was one of them. I was pissed Edmonton got him after 3 1st OVs, then Draisaitl, then McDavid......yup...there were people who thought Laine might even go 1st over Matthews...and, as far as I remember, most of the Talking Heads out there thought that Edmonton had an absolute STEAL fall into their lap with Pool Party...

Puljujarvi has signed a PTO with the Charlotte Checkers. Kinda surprised as I figured he was going back to Europe
Never mind that three teams gave up on him and he passed through waivers on a league-minimum contract: it's all the coach's fault.That would be incorrect.
He played well and got healthy scratched for bizarre reasons. He never got the time to workout of bad stretches the way some others get to, Sullivan had it out for a lot of Euro players that needed more time, unless you were Rakell who is desperately needed to make Crosby better, or Malkin who he royally f***s over every chance he gets, he doesn't give a shit about the Euro players. Pettersson went from an underrated solid top 4 to trash this year until he finally escaped to Vancouver. He then tried to "adjust" Karlsson's game and he's never looked the same since but EK gets all the hate and blame anyway.
Players like Nieto and Acciari are absolute garbage and produce far less and the PK isn't great with them, but they get a longer leash by Sullivan. Same for Beauvillier who gets preferential treatment while being a ghost for long stretches. JP was shifted all over the line up and used like trash. If he got the same rope as Acciari, he could maybe find a groove given he fought hard to come back and play.
Players leave and thrive for the most part after they leave the clutches of the dipshit that is Sullivan. Why this is a shock to so many still to this day when there's enough proof out there is comical.
