He could actually become more of a bust than Yakupov, still very early, but the early signs are not good. There would be no way he would be selected 3rd overall with his current season.

Oilers radio guys on TSN 1260 suggesting Puljujarvi's easily one of Finlands top players but that Finland is sitting him so they can get a better idea of what their non-NHL Olympic roster looks like
