He's the story of being rushed and not properly developed IMO. Really seemed to break his confidence and he never really grew his game or evolved.

In his draft year, he was pretty much as “can’t miss” as a prospect can get. I was furious when Edmonton got him…. |

Except Matthews, Laine and Tkachuk all were given ice time (and Matthews and Laine in a big way). They all did OK. Laine stumbled later but was a serious scorer off the bat. |

Maybe he was rushed I don't know, ultimately he's not a very bright NHL player and I think that held him back more than anything __________________ |

Recall again the Oilers didn't figure out for a 2 years they they should help his tougher than usual transition with an interpreter. https://twitter.com/user/status/955112307410984961 It really is brutal the organizational hubris and subsequent incompetance that ruined so many players in that organization. As 18 - 20 year olds left to your own devices, with no support from a team that couldn't attract leaders, and no support from the organization to provide basics to set them up for a sucess since the organizational mandate from the President who just assumed skill would get them though like it did from 1981-1991, ignoring off ice needs and intangibles, is negligent. The look on McDavid's face on lottery day is indicative of that. He knew he was walking into somewhere where it only did he have no mentoring, he was going to be asked to mentor. Players like Yakupov or Pull-Rv or even lesser known players didn't stand a chance in the league, in how they were failed by that trash organization under Lowe as their most critical and crucial development years were wasted..in Pull-Rv's case, distracted by something as basic as not fully understanding the language. Shame on the Oilers and the PA as well for allowing such basic necessities to go unattended to...it set him back years and here we are, out of the league as Yakupov was becuase of similar issues the Oilers didn't want or feel the need to address at the most important time of a young players career and stage of life. The preservance to fight through it and make a career in the league like Hall, Coglinao and Eberle etc did is pretty admirable, becuase the organization left them completely exposed and unsupported as teenagers to the unforgiving NHL and NHL life. Said before, but McDavid has won a couple cups by now and has scored probably more points if he had even the most basic support system somewhere else, similar to Crosby did with the Pens when he was drafted.

That 2016 draft with the junior Finish team sure didn't play out as advertised. Laine, Puljujarvi, and Joulevi getting picked in the top 5! The perfect storm to get a Tkachuk. TIL Tkachuk has played the most NHL games from that draft class with 622. Matthews is next at 586. __________________ "9 out of 10 concerns are completely unfounded."

Laine - Aho - Puljujarvi was one of the most dominant lines the WJCs have ever seen. They were blowing teams away, won gold, and Puljujarvi was MVP and top scorer |

After the WJCs, most people thought Puljujarvi would go 2nd and Laine 3rd (Matthews was always going to be 1st), but by the draft most had switched the 2. CBJ shocked many by taking PLD, leaving JP to EDM |

Just as long as he doesn’t get traded to a coastal team. The gravitational pull of his head would cause havoc with the local tides. |

Quote from Todd Mclellan on Jesse Puljujarvi Quote: But one thing, according to McLellan, works flawlessly, and that is eating. According to the Oilers official, "Pulju's" appetite is second to none. "I've never seen a young man who eats more than he does. He shovels food in. Someone asks, "How's it going, Jesse?" and he lifts his head off the plate, replies "well," and continues shoveling. Quote: "And it was just breakfast. After a while, you come back and he is about to eat a snack. He can't read the menu yet, so he shows "two like that," and "one like that." And, when he goes home, he takes a big pile of lunch boxes with him. He's like a little boy," McLellan said with a smile. __________________ |
