Hitch seems to be working more with him, and even though Pulju is getting dropped down now and then, it sounds like the help isn't stopping, he's willing to try to grind things out with the kid. I feel more confident now that if the kid just is never gonna get it, at least someone is trying to get ideas through to him now, unlike before. Just unfortunate we are at the end of his ELC now, and need to start making harder decisions with him. If we're keeping him, hope he is willing to sign a deal like Virtanen, 1.25m or around there.

"Q: You've got two 20-year-old forwards. How do you balance trying to develop them when you want to win games?
A: You don't. You don't try to develop them. You run them until they run out of gas and when they run out of gas, you back them off and work with them again. When we play them and put them into the lineup, we don't treat them as 20-year-olds; they're players. The next day, like today, when we talked to all of our young guys today we had little individual meetings today, we asked them how they were doing and we asked them where we could help but when they put the sweater on, they better play. That's their job and that's what they got to do, and they know that.
Individually and collectively, they're finding it really hard. This is, I wouldn't say a surprise to them, but it's a little bit overwhelming at times because they found another gear since Christmas time in the League that they didn't anticipate. So, they're having a difficult time. We talked to Jesse about it today and he can't believe the difference in the temperature of the games now. And it's going to take some getting used to but like I said to him, you're expected ti play and you're expected to play well when you put the sweater on."
Hitchcock sees trying to "develop" the young guys differently than the fans like me do....my preference would be to keep both players in Bakersfield and give them copious amounts of ice time until they run out of gas down there, rather than try to develop them in the NHL, which simply is not a "developmental " league. Have to support Hitchcock's plan, though; it's not like he has a lot of viable options on the wings.
