It's painful trying to find info on Aho.. all I can find is information on the undersized Swedish D-man who was passed over last year.
 
It's more painful having the most ready 16yo skater in ages being benched having signed up to best team of the league. Not that it's not logical considering the circumstances, but just a little frustrating. And I guess I'd still have Jesse play in Kärpät instead of f.ex. Kalpa (and getting regular first line / PP minutes). Oh well, good thing is you don't have to stream every single Kärpät game there is this season.
 
Davis and Pyörälä are healthy and will play with Deschamps tomorrow. Pretty hard job for Marjamäki to find playing time for Aho and Puljujärvi now. Maybe a loan to Hokki for this week? Dunno.

Then again, Kärpät has maybe the best coaching team in the league too and Marjamäki is known to be a very good junior/individual coach. I think Jesse is at a good place right now. If he doesn't get his ice time with Kärpät, he'll play in Mestis.
 
Puljujärvi will get his chance. The season is long and injuries come along to every team. It's Aho's time this year to prove. I'd rather see Puljujärvi playing in mestis in leading role than Liiga in bottom 6 grinder role. Marjamäki is smart man and they will find best solution for everyone.
 
Puljujärvi will play on the 4th line with Suoranta and Keränen.

I don't understand why Marjämäki keeps Komulainen in top6. 0+0 on the whole season and he gets promoted to 1st Line.

Don't get it. He should be either on the 1st or 2nd line, else playing in Mestis. Can he even play both leagues at the same time and if so what team would we be talking about? Meh, why drag him along if there are better options. That's just wasting talent.
 
1st Liiga goal for Puljujärvi. Nice backhand shot after his own rebound.

Nice goal! Its pretty amazing I think that he manages to score a goal with only about 7 minutes of icetime! 3 games about 30 minutes of ice time in total and he is 1+1. He have not ben on the ice not once when the opponents have scored

He was on the Vänttinen's goal today, but that was totally on the goalie.

Kärpät has 1 game on Saturday vs Blues and then one week break. Hopefully they can do something useful during that time.

Puljujärvi was really impressive tonight, doing the work and the little things. Nice goal too.

Yeah, small sample size but I like his game a lot. He's a really complete player, and that's not even taking his age into consideration. He's 16, and looks good playing against men.

Well who should be on the 4th line then? Donskoi, Haataja or Davis? :laugh:

It's not a question who should be there but where Puljujärvi needs to be. Loan the kid to a place where he gets to play more than 10minutes a game. Tbh, he could overcome two of them during the season but I don't think Marjamäki is going to let a kid drop down veterans to make space for a 16 yo rookie.

Not too much too fast.. I think Kärpät knows how to raise these players. They don't let it go to players head or let them become greater than team hierarchy, they have to earn with results in Lyyga like every one else if they don't have anything on their belt yet. I think if he keeps playing well he'll get better and better chances.
 
I think that it also good for him to play at least occasionally 4th line, because it's good opportunity to develop his defensive and all-around game. I don't say that he should play every game in 4th line, of course not, but game here and there. And also there should be top6 minutes. If there are not top6 minutes --> should go and play as much as possible in mestis or u20 in top6 role.

He is just way too good for A-Juniors, even Mestis might be too low level. Rather have him just train with Kärpät and play about 30-40 games + national team games.

It will be interesting to see what the long term plan is with him as all of Haataja, Davis and Donskoi have a contract for next season too..

I think you are underrating Mestis here. He would still be playing against men who are far more physical than some junior league players. He would still be playing in a higher level than any North American prospects.
