Remember Juuso Puustinen?

[JiriHrdina]

Former Flame pick - had a couple of good WHL seasons and then went back to Europe.

He's been signed to a 2 year 2 way deal by the Preds.

So there ya go.

[looooob]

huh

he had a fancy youtube goal right?

(have a hard time keeping him straight with the great Jukka Hentunen)

Remember Juuso Puustinen?

Evidently not.

[Muta]

I remember I was excited when we drafted him, kid has alot of skill.

Nashville knows how to develop talent really well, so this should be interesting to see how it all pans out.

iirc, Darryl said there was only one contract available for Hugo Carpentier, Devin Didiomete and Jusso Puustinen. Puustinen wanted 1st rounder type money so he was let go.

Maybe it was this one?

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Basically, didn't he pull a Giordano?

[Vulcan]

Yeah, I remember him. I've even checked his stats over in Finland the odd time and they aren't bad when you consider good Euro stats are harder to get. I guess I can take him off the list of Flames hopefuls now. IIRC when he was chosen it was debatable whether he was on the old Euro rules and we held his rights in perpetuity or we lost them when he turned 20 and he wasn't signed.

I watched that game live with my son. I've only been to a handful of games, but I was so sure that Juuso was on his way here, but alas...

Nicest goal I have ever seen live. We were screaming like nuts

[kn]

That is one sick goal...

Oh Jukka.... Man, with that name alone I totally wish that would have panned out better than it did.

[Roof-Daddy]

Ah the Preds. Guy will probably make the team and score 20 next year.

[Vulcan]

The guys still listed on the Flames Team website under 'In the System'.


Juuso Puustinen

Time they updated that since he hasn't been in the system for 3 years now.

That kid standing on the glass and pounding is hilarious. Best part of that clip.

[Phaneuf]

I remember him, totally forgot about him until you mentioned him. He's gonna be a 30 goal scorer with the Preds, thats how things work down there.

Just like Dustin Boyd did?

[boogerz]

I hate to be a thread necromancer, but why did Sutter let this guy go? From a statistical standpoint he had two good seasons in the dub, was over a ppg in the wjhc, had decent numbers in the FEL on what looked like teams that couldn't score, and has NHL size and apparently the skill to go with it.

2 goals in 2 games with the Preds farm team. What was the deal with Sutter & Puustinen?

So essentially he let go the guy that believed in himself more than others.
