It's where the loudest go to congregate and it's the internet. Oilers fans I've talked to think puljujarvi is a roster filler, nothing more. Valimaki doesn't register with that fan base or any other besides us because of all his injuries. Hard to hype a player that has missed a full season of development plus a huge chunk of the year prior. Valimaki barely registers around the league as anything at this point.
