This in itself is a huge problem. It seems like Puljujarvi has some influence on his own assignments, and his attitude with regards to the AHL has been a stumbling block to his own development.
I found a translation of comments made by his agent in an interview carried in a Finnish paper last week:
Quote:
"...Jesse has already been in the AHL. The plan was great, but then things changed...
"My own opinion is that if Jesse could play 10 games in the same line with 15-17 minutes per game, and a bit of PP time, he would bring results just like the other wingers there. AHL is a league which doesn't necessarily have much to give to Jesse anymore."

Bear in mind that this is a player who has a total of 53 AHL games, and has scored 15 goals and 37 points. That's nuts.
