RW Jesse Puljujärvi - Karpat, FEL (2016 Draft)

[HockeyHistorian]

Puljujärvi isn't playmaker. He is sniper for sure but he has ability to set up plays too. He has shoot first mentality.

I don't think anyone disagrees about that. Puljujärvi is more of a sniper than anything else, but he has played in a more of a playmaking role when paired up with Laine. Puljujärvi has the speed and vision to succeed in setting up plays.

 

[myrsky]

Huh, what do you mean? Are you watching these games?

He's the one setting Laine up, mostly. Just like he was in the U18s.

I mean that he shouldn't be "the one setting Laine up". He'll most likely play with Huml and Niemi in Kärpät. I mean, what is Marjamäki thinking, three playmakers on the same line?

Selänne wasn't a playmaker either but quite capable of setting plays up.

He'll look great on a line with Marner and/or Nylander.

Are Marner and Nylander both expected to be C's or RW's with the Leafs? Or is it too early to know?

Both are expected to be developed as centers this coming season. My personal feeling is that both will be centers, but Nylander could be moved to either wing if we draft somebody like Matthews.

Nylander - Marner - Pulujuarvi

Nylander - Marner - Pulujuarvi

Three RW on one line?

 

[Ryker]

Three RW on one line?

Yeah, it's going to be called The Right Wing Line.

 

[In It 2 Winnik]

Three RW on one line?

Nylander plays the off wing / centre and we are developing Marner as a centre. So really it's just Puljujarvi as the RW.

 

[buttman*]

Three RW on one line?

Marner plays centre. Lots of it. And is a terrific defensive player. Nylander has also played center.

 

[AvroArrow]

Would love if we somehow ended up with Puljujarvi, but no way that line works if it was ever made. Three righties, just don't see it happening

Some of the best lines in recent memory consist of 3 players with the same handedness.

fine then...

JVR - Marner - Puljujarvi
Johnson - Nylander - Kapanen

 

[hamzarocks]

fine then...

JVR - Marner - Puljujarvi
Johnson - Nylander - Kapanen

id have kadri above johnson in the top 6 whether its at wing or center it doesnt really matter, id have a third line of brown, johnson, and either gauthier or leipsic.

What is this joke about Leafs pickin Puljujarvi anyway??

Same as Nashville can win the Stanley Cup.

How MapleLeafs fans can be so sure, for that Puljujärvi is Mapleafs draft pick next summer. Is there any facts for that, or is it only a dream.
But as a Florida Panthers fan i would like to see, Jesse with Barkov in Florida Panthers sweater.

Nobody is so sure, we're just dreaming, but also we expect to be drafting in that range.

Toronto will be probably picking in the top3, atleast top5 and Pulju is a top3 pick right now.

I doubt Florida will be picking in the top5.

Yeah Pulju is TOP3 pick for sure, but how we know mapleleafs is picking Puljujärvi in top3.
Personally i wouldn't be surprised if, they'll take Chychrun instead of Puljujärvi.

Toronto needs more defence than wingers, that's why i think Chychrun is going to Toronto.
And Jesse probably for, Carolina Hurricanes or New Jersey Devils.

Who here has said that Pulju is 100% going to be their pick?
I'd say Toronto fans would be happy to pick any of the top3 candidates and don't want to set expextations too high, they'd be happy even if they would miss 1st overall+Chychrun because Pulju would be available and they would have an elite potential winger prospects?
They'd go with the Finns as top6 Rw's.

More than a little early to be making claims like that, pretty easy to imagine Matthews, Chychrun and someone else (Tkachuk, Jones, Krys, Sokolov, etc.) going ahead of him. He seems like a popular 3rd overall choice at the moment, but calling him a lock to go top 3 before the season even starts is going way too far.
