Re: Puljujarvi vs this year's draft class - otc
I would prefer Krebs, Kaliyev, and Tomasino for sure. All of those guys have really impressed me in what I've seen, and I'd be surprised especially so for Krebs/Tomasino if they weren't impact NHLers in relatively short order. Puljujarvi has done nothing to inspire confidence in his play, and I was one of those "Puljujarvi > Laine" guys back when he was drafted. Now with this trade request and stuff, there are just too many red flags to buy into that situation right now.
I'd much prefer a prospect like Krebs or Tomasino who have both shown high skill / work ethic. It's a bit more of a toss-up with Kaliyev, but I'll take the elite upside that very few 17-year olds in the OHL have matched.
