JP!! OMG. He's doing a ton of other good things and he's getting into good spots but he has to bury some of those!!!
|
You're right in that two of those he had pretty wide open areas to shoot at and sent it right to the middle of the net into right into the Kuemper's crest. He needs a few practice days with the shooter tutor to start seeing those corners again.
|
From where I was sitting, we were in the attack zone twice on JP's side so we could see it coming perfectly, the angle, everything and there was a TON of open net so how he didn't score was just so frustrating.
I still like him and as a line they are awesome but I have to think that a Hyman, Yamo, Kane, definitely Leon, all put at least one of those in. He needs to find away to bury those. I think he had a few against the Sharks too so it's good to see him getting into the right spots.
I think moving forward, he will be a real good, 2 way guy but I do wonder if his ceiling is 20 goals in a good year.
|
Yep. He's going to be a 20-25 goal guy who's rarely well above 50 points. He'll still be a valuable contributor to a line, but he excels at puck retrieval and two way play. I will bet he has maybe one spike season where it all goes right for him - something like Eberle's 78 point season - but he's not going to be an elite goal scorer.
Hopefully the Oilers (and a large portion of the client base) have learned from their past that a guy can still be a pretty big contributor even if he isn't the mythic "one-shot scorer". I just look at Eberle and think how much criticism he had for not scoring on one-timers in his last season here, even as he put up 50 points in an off-year. We traded him for Strome, who because he wasn't immediately scoring those kinds of numbers from the third line, we traded again for Spooner. We need to be better at accepting what a player is, rather than lamenting everything he isn't.
I do hope Puljujarvi works a little on his release - he seemed to be pulling those shots too far back towards the way they came from, rather than shooting it straight ahead and I feel like that's something that can be developed to an extent - but I also hope that the team isn't still stuck on thinking that he needs to be another superstar to be an effective contributor.
|
Just my opinion but I think JP has the ability to do a lot more for a line than what Eberle did when he wasn't scoring and I think if the offense for JP dried up to the point he wasn't producing enough to stick in the top 6, you could drop him to the 3rd line and he'd still be effective. I never saw Eberle have the ability to drop down and be effective as a 3rd liner.
