These comments are insane. He had a tough draft year playing against men, but he is a quality defender with the hands and offensive instincts to be a quality puck mover. If he had played against his own age group like most prospects the narrative would be very different. He’s looked excellent in international competition.
I’m normally not a fan of drafting overagers, I’m very intrigued by Jessi Pulkkinen, if you’re able to do you mind doing a breakdown on him? He has unbelievable stick handling skills, from what I have seen he uses it well in all aspects of the game, to effectively to get shots through, create space, open passing lanes, skating lanes, etc. very interested to see what you think of him. Imo he has 3D upside, 5th D floor
@@JTAPtv I just don’t see the production and let’s not pretend like he was in the KHL, SHL, or Liiga. It wasn’t a top tier men’s league so at the least he should have been about to produce a bit. He’s not elite defensively either so I just don’t see the hype for him.
One of the most overrated players in the draft. I'm absolutely terrified Washington takes him at 17 because I just don't see any redeeming skill in his toolbox other than being right handed.
