As a Pens fan, I'm excited to see how Jesse does with us- was a fan of him in Edmonton and if he can produce any type of depth scoring, lord knows Sid and I will greatly appreciate that :,)
Edmonton either makes really bad picks or sends players in the wrong trajectory. I think it is both. If he would have been selected 10th overall, or lower, maybe expectations would have been a little more achievable and he would have been able to build some confidence.
Kids gonna break through ,, he’s like pronger but a forward him and his nose
He obviously didn't work out in Edmonton, but I loved the human. Seemed like the nicest guy you'll meet, and had some hilarious interview moments. I'd love to see him find some success. Long live the Bison King!

Dude has had best depth statistics of all 3rd/4th liners past 3 seasons. Great add for 800k.
Saw him play in the A the other week
I watched jesse alot when he played with the condors. Definitely a fun player to watch. I hope he does well with the pens
He got to get angriness to his game. He is too nice. Maybe take some good fist fights on the ice and he becomes though as Bison king he is.
he looks like a halibut
Fucking stupid question
Edmonton never knew how to deal with their top picks, theres many more examples than Puljuboi
The Oilers were going to draft Matthew Tkachuk, but at the last moment they changed to Puljujärvi.
Love this big lug. I hope he does well!
As an Oilers fan I wish nothing but the best for the big lug. Enjoy him while you got him Pittsburgh.
As a diehard Oilers fan, I want nothing but success for Pool Party.
Even Carolina don’t want this guy on their team. I thought the Canes would be the best fit for him playing alongside Aho.
asking Puljujarvi to step up in some secondary scoring capability may be asking too much
Good for the pens if he works out u can trade him even
Shut up, this guy has been through the Oilers meat grinder and we all know everyone who escapes there does better. You earn opportunity it is not handed to you. This guy has not been given "chances" just shut up you sound like an old Oilers nag.
so sad how Laine and Pulju's career have ended like this. They were supposed to be the next 2 big stars of the NHL.
Glad to see him get another chance. Sometimes the player has to fit the system.
At this point, the Pens need to trade all front office staff and maybe Sully too. They kept aging Malkin to suck up cap space and keep them old. Hextall and Co decimated what used to be a reliable bullpen in WB/S. Also- the Boston group that owns them could not give a shit if they ever make the playoffs.
Pool party was such a waste of a draft pick for the oilers
As a Finnish Pens fan, I hope this works out but boy are my expectations low.
The guy is cool and all dont get me wrong, but he simply doesnt have the skills to be an NHLer. He played many games with 2 of the best players in the world and couldnt take advantage of that. If he plays with Crosby and produces better than with the Oilers, i would be shocked.
Truly amazing how many years this guy has got to play in the nhl
Super happy for Puljujärvi to get another crack at the NHL. I was excited to see him be drafted by the Oilers (my hometown team) but was disappointed with how things turned out. I had seen him play for the Oulu Kärpät (in the Finnish Elite League) twice and thought he looked solid. It was also neat to see how much the Oilers grew in popularity in Oulu where he played after being signed. I still see a lot more Oilers jerseys there now than I did prior to him being drafted.
Imagine he scores 50 on Crosby's line 😅
As a Penguins fan, I can say that the next 5 or 6 years are gonna be tough …. really tough …
I’ve always liked Jesse. He’s a lot bigger than people think. If he can just use that size to go advantage things will be great
Puljujarvi is not good enough for the nhl. It's not his work ethic, it's not his ability, he just doesn't think the game well enough. He's not in the right place at the right time and he puts the puck in the wrong places.
