There should be zero gap between the two. They play slightly different games but Puljujarvis vision and Hockey I.Q are better. Smarter players find greater success at the NHL level.
Maybe I should be clear here. I love what Laine is, is more what the Flames need with his more aggressive offensive flare. But to discount what Puljujarvi brings to the table is legitimately confusing.
All I am saying is, it's not a 2 person tier 1. It's a 3 person tier 1 and then the light drop.
