He better light it up there. If he is just putting up Yak-like stats (5-6th best forward on his KHL team)...well, kid is almost done with his NHL potential.
Side note, Rishaug was just on the radio calling out Chia for giving guarantees to Pulju's camp on how limited his AHL time would be during his ELC. Sigh...that's some classic Chia.
|
Oh Rishaug - how fast we can bite the hand that feeds us. Chiarelli fed him scoops in exchange for favourable coverage, but now that Chia's gone, Rishaug's happy to throw him under the bus. I suspect Rishaug isn't even a defender of the Hall for Larsson swap now.
Nothing really changing here other than some certainty as to where Puljujarvi starts the season. There's apparently an out clause until December 1. I really hope the kid plays well.

Pulju was IMO the worst case of management being a pushover with an ELC prospect. At least with Drai we had no other C options and we desperately needed him. And MacT still demoted him before the RFA year was burned. Pulju... He was just hanging around not being used at all and we just sat there and waited for the RFA year to be burned before sending him down.
Oilers management was bad for a long long time. But Chia cranked it up to 11.

I agree with you. The Oilers in my opinion got blinded by the physical tools JP had and ignored the fact he was no where near as mature as most players his age are when they are drafted. They assumed that given his physical size he was way more ready than he actually was. Maybe physically he was close to being ready but mentally, he was very far off. On top of it, JP is extremely stubborn and delusional on where he is at. Another sign of his extreme immaturity. To make matters worse his agent is just as delusional and clearly isn't giving his client good advice. So you put that all together and you have yourself a difficult prospect to deal with. The problem was compounded by the fact that Chia bent over and did whatever the JP camp wanted. So the Oilers made the mistake of ignoring where he was at development wise assuming he would be like most other players taken that high and then they gave in the to delusional expectations of an immature kid which further stunted his development.
I still think that the upside for JP is a 3rd liner regardless if he was developed properly or not but that doesn't change the fact that big time mistakes were made with this player.
