How does Puljuarvi compare to Barkov? Barkov had more than twice the point production than Puljuarvi at the same age. Barkov was also known for being good defensively. They are the same size.
I guess one major difference is that Puljuarvi is a RW.
The only thing that "worries" me is that Barkov, who had twice the production of Puljuarvi, has not even been a great pick for at number 2 overall (thus far). Although you could argue that he has been one of the best in the draft after MacKinnon and Monahan.
Another thing that worries me about Puljuarvi is that his production has decreased quite a bit from last year. Comparatively, Barkov tripled his production during his draft year.
Of course, I know next to nothing about how Puljuarvi actually plays. This is purely from stats.
