Valtteri Pulli has been poked in a number of straight games now for Djurgården.
According to Finnish MTV is he now ready to play for the Finnish scandal club Jokerit for next season.
Four points in 14 games and hardly any playing time for Djurgården. Valtteri Pulli, 24, has also not played in seven games. The new signing came from playing in Switzerland and the AHL after signing a rookie contract in the NHL. Now it looks like it will be another step backwards for Pulli’s career.
Den finske backen flyttar hem till den finska jöstäliga next season. The Jokerit is back in the Finnish top league until the next season, and then Pulli comes to play for the classic club.
But in the last ten years, the Finnish big club has not exactly been popular in Finnish hockey. In 2014, they joined the Russian league KHL. After the invasion of Ukraine, they withdrew from the league and in 2023 they got a license to play in the Finnish second league again. For the next season, they are given a license to return to the Finnish top league, according to MTV.
In recent years, Jokerit’s return to Finnish hockey has been met with mixed reactions and has also caused some anger, among other things.
