Waived: [PIT] F Jesse Puljujarvi waived by the Penguins (cleared)

[Fist of Fury]

Islanders should claim him, triggerman for Barzal, Hell Yeah.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

One of the worst busts in the last 20 years.

I think that people who think like that are the worst busts. Jesse is a very nice guy and good player of hockey, he just needs to land at the correct spot to succeed.

 

[DearDiary]

Hardest working player on the ice each game regardless of the score. Instead of waiving him, he should be given an A on his jersey.

 

[D Wakaluk]

It's safe to say if Jesse was Jesse Power from Michigan he'd be stapled to that Pitts bottom 6. Thought he did everything asked in that role and then some.

Sully tried everything, but this little bastard went on a had more points than necessary and couldn't help but staying European

 

[Bruce Granville]

His Finnish is just fine?

Sure…just like his English.

 

[Super Hans]

Jameis Winston of the NHL. Very likeable guy, just doesn't have the IQ to match his athletic talent and passion for the game.

 

[InsideLaine]

I honestly think that his unwillingness to work on his English makes it easy to assume that he also is/will be unwilling to work on his other weaknesses (in his game). Maybe he has worked on them but clearly not enough. He is perceived as final product i.e. the absolute max that he can be, and on top of that you have the uncertainty regarding his hips in the long term.

Its too easy to pass on Pulju. Too many red flags with no real upside to him.

Ive lived in Sweden for 7 years and now I speak fluent Swedish and am constantly improving as well. Had I stayed close to my starting level (totally shit Swedish learned in the Finnish education system) it would be hard for employers to trust that Im committed to staying. Maybe they would also think that Im not gonna learn other things fully either.

Not the same situation as Pulju of course but I sense some similarities in the way one might be perceived. And its an issue for him, each red flag or weakness will decrease and limit the demand for his services. I wonder if there are more teams that still want to give him a chance, starting to feel like maybe not.

When do we find out when he’s claimed?

Easy to guess that you probably did not see any games Pulju played for Penquins.

That guess is correct. I heard he worked hard?

 

[Kuljeskelen]

I still wonder why someone hasn't tried him on a line with another, hopely well established Finnish forward. If the language is a great issue, maybe see what he can do with other Finns, and then work on language guidance etc bla bla if that is the way. Maybe 5 years late for that, but with the amount of Finns in the league seems weird.

 

[InsideLaine]

I used to wake up at 3am to watch the games of Pulju, but that was like 3-4 years ago.

[Rschmitz]

It’s not like he has to have high hockey IQ to make a positive impact. Give him a few simple tasks to do, and he’s a forward so less likely coverage mistakes end up costly.

Cheaper and about a million times better than Fasching so...

 

[26Mats]

Can't think of a more "all tools, no toolbox" player in recent memory.

Didn't he suffer a hip injury that still affects him?

 

[elmaco]

Didn't he suffer a hip injury that still affects him?

He had both hips replaced before the start of this season.

 

[InsideLaine]

This musy be a Freudian slip by Pulju, the article/interview/survey is from 3 days ago:

Florida then?

You mean like Aho or Teravainen? Nope, not this season…

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Pretty obvious he said something to Sullivan that sully didn’t like.

Pretty obvious he said something to Sullivan that sully didn’t like.

After being told it is time to play with Sidney he said: “Is it?”

 

[FSL KINGS]

Cheaper and about a million times better than Fasching so...

IKR! Meanwhile the King's have Burroughs, Thomas & Lee on the roster any given night. Lee might still improve.

King's won't claim him.

 

[SomeDude]

What is a depth guy that doesn't PK? An AHLer who gets scored on a lot while trying to make it to the tiktok front page? I guess that does describe Puljujarvi doesn't it

Nobody said he can’t PK. He hasn’t gotten the opportunity here. I think he’d be just fine as a PKer.
