Then again those are differences that are not actually measurable, and could just disappear in a matter of months. I very much agree with people who say that Puljujärvi might end up being the best player in this draft. He's just not an absolute guaranteed good choice like Matthews and Laine.
For the record:
Just so it's clear that my opinion isn't special, I don't really watch SM-liiga much even though I'm a Finn, especially not recently. I've seen these guys maybe like 8 full games, and that's including the U20:s
