Jesse Puljujärvi - 2016 IIHF WJC Highlights

[@Jarikurri68]

3 years later and hes going back to Finland, guess well never see the greatness that could have been....

Well you know Edmonton.. But i guess that he is going back at some point to play for some other team 😎

[@redber16]

He looks so freakin good here, easy to mistake him for the next European Lemieux. Even some of his pre-season highlights are sick, hope he can find his footing...

[@johnnycigar7699]

Always thought it was funny how underrated Aho was here, always Laine and Puljujärvi getting hyped up and talked about. Then Aho falls to the second round in some fucked up way that I will never understand, I was so baffled at that draft. Aho was the best out of these three and still is.

@@howdareyouexist if there’s a time to show up and play it’s this coming up season. The man needs to bury. He’s getting those chances but they’re just not getting in. Hopefully the hockey gods will give him a hand this season. He has it.

[@duncancole5687]

They ruined his development, shattered his confidence, and comeplety changed how he plays the game. He was not given the same leash or opportunities as others, was forced into a third line checker role and overall, became what the oilers made him into.

[@SittingBull99]

You could fit the replays of his Oilers highlights this year with those during that WJC, and the images would fit each other perfectly without wrecking the images. I'm honest enough to say that Aho has made himself the best of the three Finns from that draft year. But we don't need JP to win that contest. We just need him to play his game, and have it fit Connor's game like a glove. The JP we were hoping for all along has finally arrived.

[@nolanmusey6649]

Who’s here after he signed

[@ethanluu3011]

Hi

[@spaghett0id]

Idk if he'll necessarily play with McDavid but I have no doubt he'll be a very good Top 6 Oilers forward and I'm very excited to see him play. He's doing good in the AHL right now and he's developing his game after a slow rookie start... Draisaitl did the exact same thing

we don't need to win the draft lottery to win the draft! we're so lucky! Pulujärvi AND Tyler Benson?!! that's like two top 15 picks! Benson had health issues all season but he could have easily made the top 10-20. he scored a mind blowing 146 points in just 33 games in bantam. he was the first pick overall in the WHL bantam draft, and he's a local boy! Edmonton has a very interesting year ahead

[@udimhead2142]

Benson got 143pts in 33 games in AAA Bantam. Thats just insane! absolute steal for the oil. just needs to maintain his health!

What happened to Puljujarvi. He looked like an absolute stud in this tournament. Now you watch him play for the oilers at the nhl level and he’s just a big clumsy dope that falls 5+ times a shift, the guy can’t stay on his feet, it’s ridiculous 😂. Not to mention the helmet he wears that’s a few sizes too big, makes him look like he takes the short school bus to Rogers Place.

Nobody dislikes him as a person but everybody finds it amusing that he was drafted that high because of Aho and that tournament in Helsinki. But what's your beef? Are you sleeping with the guy?

But he was on it all the time.

Not gonna lie he doesn’t look all too impressive in this reel. Most of his goals are just tapins

[@xmarine73]

He's 6'3". He's got wheels. He's got hands. He's got hockey IQ. He's a team player. In this clip a LOT of what he's doing is semi-subtle I guess. Being in the right place for those too tip-ins is not just coincidence. The rebound off the goalies left pad for the teammate's easy tip-in was a conscious play (if the goalie doesn't block, it's a goal but if the goalie does block it, the rebound is a pass). You must be hard to impress...
