>>74471423
wow that's a big difference in ppg. It's like this Laine guy is on completely different level from others.

By Finnish logic, Matthews should've intentionally suffered a season-ending injury in his second game to secure the Calder. No one could top a four goals/game average.

It's no wonder Finland is so widely known and respected for its important contributions to global society.

>>74471242
jets fan here, and although I wouldn't really be upset if matthews gets the calder (him, marner and laine have all played phenomenal this year), laine has 1 more point with 7 less games played. The fact he got hurt is irrelevant if you're looking from a production standpoint

Still though, its not like matthews doesnt deserve it or it would be an injustice if he wins, but its not like its cut or dry either way.

>>74471329
Yeah, post deadline they always falter. Don't understand why they decided to buy so soon.

Ovechkin has been in the league for over a decade and not once has he been hit even remotely close to the Laine one. Laine has an elite shot but he's dumb as fuck and if it doesn't change he will be riddled with injuries his entire career.

>>74471519
Matthews has seven more goals on goalies/first assists. Matthews has played nearly the entie season with two fourth-round-draft-pick rookies. Matthews plays the hardest forward position, requiring him to be defensively responsible (see skating chart above).

Laine simply is not in the same class.

Matthews wins it if the goals and points total are close. Laine would need to score several more goals and points.

>>74471966

it's not that. Laine made shit ton of mistakes in his first 20 games and was losing the puck all the time. The kind of mistakes that Pulju made once and was immediately benched by mclellan.

No but Mclellan would have treated Laine like shit and buried him in 3th and 4th line, while still giving ebershit ample chances.

>He got playing time with McDavid

A handful of shifts and then he got immediately downgraded when he made one mistake. But also partly because McDavid still needs someone to take faceoffs for him. It'll probably work better once he gets better with FO's and Pulju gets a bit more NA games in him.

>>74472151
The coilers actually made the right move with sending pizza man down to the AHL. Shocking considering they've mishandled every prospect drafted over the last 10 years.

>>74472198

I just wish they send him in the AHL immediately, instead of straggling him along doing nothing but making the poor boy sad.

>>74472208
>sudan

>>74472198
yeah he got couple games and during that time mcdavid had his best stats by far. Then oilers lost a game and mcLELlan decided to put pulju on 4th line.

>>74472215
I know, that's why I'm not understanding the sodium levels coming from Finland, when the Oilers finally made the right move with Pulju.

>>74472208
Like I said, he's most likely gonna be the first line RW for years to come, putting up goals with McDavid. I wouldn't be surprised if the Oilers call him up for some playoff games this year.

>>74472208
Since when is acting like a nigger considered to be a personality?

>>74472198
that's beside the point. The point is that Laine would probably be in the AHL if he was drafted by oilers.

>>74472247

>>74472247
Stop being a fucking idiot. Your post describes someone like Evander Kane who is the complete opposite of PK. The fucking guy donated millions of dollars to charity while the other brags about how much cheddar he has and does pushups with 100k on his back.

>>74472265
He acts like one though.

>>74472248
I doubt it, since he'd have been getting 1st unit PP time right from the get go, and blasting one timers like a fucking retarded alien from the planet Cannon. Laine is already a master at finding shooting lanes, and McDavid can put the puck on someone's tape through four defenders. He would've been scoring goals from day 1.

Pulju + 2018 1st for Laine. Deal?

>>74472301
Puljujärvi scored pp points at the same clip as Laine in the Liiga but mclellan didn't even put him in the pp. Doubt he would have put laine either.

>>74472330
lmao that's an awful trade for the jets. For all we know pulju will never play again in the NHL. Meanwhile Laine will probably score 40 goals a season.

>>74472271
Lmao good one

>>74472337
Oilers need a big shot on the PP, Laine was made for that role. I think Pulju's shot is actually underrated, but it's nowhere near as good as Laine's.

>>74472356
they scored similar goals with their shots on the liiga.

>>74472388
Why are you even attempting to compare Laine with Pulju? They are different players with Laine having a much, much, MUCH better shot than pulju. Liiga stats are fucking irrelevant to this conversation.

>>74472344
>he doesn't know

>>74472356

>>74472388

Even if you're right, Laine has the better offensive instincts in terms of getting open and finding shooting lanes. This isn't a knock on Pulju, I'm an Oilers fan and I'm fucking stoked Columbus took that frog bust so >we could pick up a big bodied player with his speed, shot and defensive game.

>>74472427

Meaning next season, when McDavid takes the title from Crosby.

My amateur scout report on jesse puljupalju:

>pros:
natural athlecism, true workhorse will never get tired
big guy
funny face
good attitude, absolutely no ego
great potential because he is dumb as fuck and is like a sponge for information

>cons:
raw, will take couple years to get decent
is fucking dumb as a rock, communication problems
awkward skating, hopefully gets better because he looks like a geraffe on skates 4 real

>>74472450
I already posted my counter-argument. Laine was known as a sniper going into the draft, Pulju was a 2-way player with a diverse skillset. Logically, Laine would've been given PP time off the hop, and undoubtedly would have started scoring immediately with someone like McDavid throwing him passes.

Either way, the Oilers are firmly in a playoff spot, so knocking McLellan for sending Pulju to the minors is pretty irrelevant. The team is succeeding, and will only get better when Pulju hits his stride and joins the team full time.

>he is dumb as fuck and is like a sponge for information

How is that possible?

>>74472492
Pulju was also known sniper with almost as many goals as laine. you are just making assumptions without any proof. My argument is more logical. Pulju and laine scoring same kind of goals before NHL --> same kind of treatment from mclellan.

Just read the paper. Boudreau was massively fanny flustered by the refs. How can poolumbus even afford to bribe the refs?

>>74472502
Think of it like a blank canvas. He's got nothing up top, so anything he is taught will be the new normal.

>>74472502
He's starting level is really low, up to a point where he can't even understand english the one language he really needs to make it in hockey, but he accumulates information.

>>74472527
The Haula no-goal was actually according to NHL rules, but its a poor rule.

>>74472527
I missed it what happened

>>74472518
We're both making assumptions here, but it doesn't change the fact that Laine was marketed as a sniper, and Pulju a jack of all trades heading into the draft.

Mattews was an overager.

Laine is some kind of genetic experiment.

Thachuk is an early bloomer that won't get much better than he already is.

Pulju is doing fine. Draisaitl had a similar rookie season, went back to the WHL, and came back better for it. This organization has ruined young prospects too much in the past, it's nice to see that change. His NHL games weren't even that bad either. He looked awkward and didn't finnish as much as he could have, but these are all things a player can work on and improve. His raw talent and physical aspects are great.

It'll be Pekka unless Nashville goes down like 0-2 vs Chicago and that's not a whole they want, regardless of the goaltender.

Last time they pulled a big upset and took both opponents to game 7, I could see a similar performances this playoffs but they'll have to do it vs Chicago, Minnesota and/or San Jose.

But your right, Murray's age didn't hold him back. What I should have said is Pekka is bad and Saros is average.

Alright, let's talk about this reasonably

Laine is ugly as shit, we agree on this.
However I can't pick out some overt physical flaw that makes him completely JUST
In fact, looking at all his facial characteristics by themselves (look at just the nose, just the jawline, etc. it looks like it would assemble a good looking man. This is not the case.

What that means is there is a way we can 'fix' Laine so he looks like a handsome man. He has all the right parts, it's just been totally put together wrong.

How do we do it?
>1. Fix his fucking zits, omg
>2. New hair. Long Erik Karlsson hair I'm thinking. His hair has been awful in all pics of him, maybe this style would fit. He does have a terrible hairline though
>3. Cap his teeth
