Holland's answers aren't exactly helpful, especially if he thinks Puljujarvi could be a trading chip. Basically says, it's a tough league and he doesn't know what Puljujarvi can do but maybe more shots from closer? Zero support for the player in those quotes, suggesting that he thinks Jesse is wrong in any of his assessments of himself.
Things just keep getting uglier here.

I am sure you will crucify me because I would dare not just automatically shred Holland but what exactly do you expect Holland to say? How many times has JP been fed with wide open looks by McD or Leon and he shoots it wide, over the net or fans on the shot? How many times has he been set up and he barely gets a shot off or floats it harmlessly into the goalies chest? I can't remember what game it was but it was maybe 3 or 4 games ago, he got sent in on what should have been a breakaway and he fell down at the opponents blueline.
I have never been the guy that thinks JP walked on water like some but I never thought it would be like this. I thought he was a 3rd liner that for a short time he could play up and he wouldn't kill you but he would be good to get 15 goals. At this point, I'd be stunned if he got even 10. Seriously, what can anyone say to that? How do you prop up the value of a player with 1 goal who can't even score when McD sets you up for open net tap ins. He's literally missed wide open nets.

"I think Jesse is being too hard on himself. He's a guy who's shown he can produce points in the NHL at a greater level than what we are seeing right now. He's doing the right things, and we do think he's shown more responsibility in his game. I might want to see him work on getting more chances from in-tight, and I know he and the coaches are working on that, but like any player in a bit of a slump, it's all about the process. You keep doing the right things, and eventually the puck will start going in again."
The words "I don't really have a solution" would never leave my lips.

I couldn’t agree more. What a dumbass thing to say to the hockey world as a General Manager. I’m sure it really didn’t alienate the player too much either. Good grief. I’m not sure Nicholson could have done much worse himself here.
