Pulju on tehnyt preseasonilla vaikutuksen muihinkin.
Chris Nicholls (lainaa McKenzien radiohaastista):
McKenzie: "Puljujarvi scored a couple last night, and he's looking much, much better. He's continued to take steps. He continually developed last year, but he looks to me like he's going to have a big year." #Oilers 690
McKenzie: "He's really shooting the puck again the way he did when I saw him as a 16 & 17-year-old elite prospect at the world junior championship. This guy was just shooting the puck from everywhere & scoring a lot of goals. I think maybe he's going to try to get back to that."
Ja Sportsnet (myös pakolliset pelikaverikohteliaisuudet, joissa on varmaan perääkin tällä kertaa):
Cam Talbot: “And Jesse has just been on another level this year. His speed is second to none. I’d put him up there with Connor at this point the way he’s flying around.”
McDavid:
What changes does McDavid see in Puljujarvi’s game?
“Another gear,” McDavid said. “He’s just got another step. He must have had a good summer.”
Ja:
While Rattie reported in top shape and has displayed a commitment not before seen in his game, so too did Puljujarvi figure a few things out over the summer, coming in 10 pounds lighter than when he’d left town in the spring. These are small signs of bigger things; examples of the kind of maturity that makes good players into better ones.
“You work hard, and some good things will happen. I had a good summer. That helped me,” said Puljujarvi, who has found confidence early this autumn. “I think that all things come from there. If you have good confidence, good things happen.”
