Puljujarvi has skill, smarts, hockey sense, skating and size. He has no real weaknesses. He has all the tools to be a star winger in this league. If you guys were on the Puljujarvi hype train before the 2016 draft then you should still be on it. His upside is the same now as it was then.

Hockey sense has never really been Puljujarvi's calling card. He also has the tendency of handling the puck like a grenade at times. He's just a freak athlete, not many players that size can move that fast and shoot the puck that hard. I'm hoping he follows Nichushkin's trajectory.
