RW Lauri Pajuniemi - TPS Turku, Liiga (2018, 132nd, NYR)

[bl02]

Two assists today. Now 16 points in 22 games.

what's the deal with this kid? can he become a decent top 9 guy or even 4th liner in say 2-3 years?

Zero grit, so I don't think he'll be a fourth liner. If he can continue to score, I don't see why he couldn't become a top 9 player.

Pajuniemi's goal vs Kärpät today.

19 points in 25 games. Not as one dimensional as the stats indicate. It’s not easy to accumulate assists playing all season in the bottom six with guys who can’t finish.

very impressive and from the looks of this clip, he seems to be taller than his listed 5'11" height. Most importantly though, it shows he has vision and passing skills to go along with a very good shot.

You remember Kakko and Rantanen though?

Ristolainen's OK too.

But I think he's being sarcastic.

In 29 games Pajuniemi has scored 21 points ( 15 goals + 6 assists ).
Does New York Rangers soon have another TPS Turku produced scoring winger in their NHL roster.

What are the odds of seeing Pajuniemi in the AHL next season?

If he continues like this, pretty high.

He was great today, but god dam TPS is bad.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't understand why his ice time is so low. He leads the team in scoring, despite playing less games than their other best players, yet he's 16th on the team in ice time. It's went up a little, and recently he's been playing about 15 and a half instead of his season average of about 14 and a half, but that's still very low for your best player. It's amazing that he's doing as well as he is with third line minutes. If he was playing first line minutes, he might be first in the league in scoring.

 

[Svedu]

He has one goal and a assist tonight. The kid has taken a big step in his development this year, wow!

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

This guy is seeming more and more legit every week.

Two goals now.

Edit: Hat-trick.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Over half his goals are on PP.

I'd like to know what his game is actually like outside of the points..

 

[Mountlaine]

He's averaging 14-15 minutes a night so his 18+8 in 28 is quite alright.

What is he saying?

 

[CLW]

What is he saying?

He is saying (rough translation) "that he knew this season had to be his breakthrough season, he pushed himself really hard during the summer to be ready for the opportunity when/if it presented itself. Excuses would be pointless if he failed. Someone gave him the advice to shoot more because that's how you get points, so he has simply been shooting first rather than look for the pass. The hunger to succeed is there."
