I was a big JP defender... it's getting harder and harder.lol It's always the same thing

Nice guy
big body
hustles
good attitude

I maintain if he had learned to PK and adjusted his game to a bottom 6 player that he'd still be a viable NHLer.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Too much of a head case. He can look good for 3-4 games and be useless for months after.

 

[PanniniClaus]

The only issue with Puli is he's not very good at hockey. Top marks for everything else.

The money generated by this tournament goes into HRR and thus will lead to the cap going up, increasing the amount of money available to the top players in the league.

the guy has basically everything you'd want in a 3rd/4th liner other than hockey IQ. I'm convinced a good percentage of this board can read the play better than he can.

i'm just absolutely shocked that he seemingly looked really good in his draft year and has totally just been a dud at the nhl level, particularly with respect to hockey IQ. i'm pretty sure he was seen as a more complete version of laine (with less offensive ability, which isn't a knock on pulju), and you sort of thought his floor was a 20g 20a guy.

i don't recall any scouting reports talking about his lack of hockey IQ, and a quick google confirms that.
