Jurri excited to get drafted by Bulls

[hockeyis66 143]

When he heard his named called at the end of the first round, 8^th overall, by the Houston Bulls, Kari Jurri couldn’t believe it and had to let the amazement sink in for a couple of minutes.  Jurri had expected to go in the second round and probably thought he was going back to Oslo/Minnesota, but Jurri is more than happy beyond belief to be part of an expansion squad.  “I was kinda like did they really call my name?  I was about ready to go get a pepsi and some cotton candy cause I really thought I would go second round.”

Expectations for the team will be tempered of course since it is their first season in the league, but with a great GM in place, the Bulls fully expect to make the playoffs and everyone on the team is ready to go and keep updating their player. 

As for the expectations of being a first round draftee, Jurri relishes in the opportunity and cant wait to hit the ice with his new teammates.  He is going to work hard both on and off the ice to improve his player and nothing short of a 30+ goal season and close to 80 points will be expected.
