Confirmed Trade: [CAR/EDM] Jesse Puljujarvi for Patrik Puistola

[BB88]

Best place for him

 

[PuckG]

Bittersweet. He’s a player that goes to the right places and works hard on both ends of the ice which is something the Oilers need more of. Unfortunately, he has little finish/composure. Hope he turns it around in Carolina.

 

[Frank Drebin]

KK and JP, dream duo

 

[McShogun99]

He's going to flourish in Carolina. Probably the perfect team for him to end up.

Carolina collecting 1st round Finn busts.... interesting strategy

TT worked out awesome

 

[Bounces R Way]

Maybe he'll fit in there with some other Finns to help him along. Probably the best place for him.

For the Canes sake I hope they didn't give up anything of real value.

 

[GreeningOil]

It’s been a slice Puljujarvi! I hope you have a career resurgence.

When he was on the 4th line for us, he seemed waaaay more useful and contributed.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

could see him scoring 30+ goals with Aho TBH. Pretty big loss for Edmonton

 

[Habs Halifax]

This is not what I had in mind when Dundon said he was going to be aggressive at the deadline..

Teams usually don't just make 1 move.

 

[Static]

Really curious if Edmonton had to pay Carolina to take his full salary.

 

[ElPrimeTime]

Happy for JP. Sad as an Oiler fan. Was really hoping they would deal Yamo instead, use JP for the stretch run and if his play didn't improve, let him walk in the summer.

Armia's next please!!!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Not a guarantee that he’ll play regularly. Carolina’s been running a 21 man healthy roster for most of the season; there are roster spots to play with.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Canes dumpster diving I see

I would hope they didn't give up anything of actual value for him

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Friedman on the Jeff Marek shows thinks it's Patrik Puistola (sp) going to EDM.

Edit: I think I spelled it correctly.

Def means a trade for a D is imminent

 

[beowulf]

Most overpaid and under performing Finnish duo is the plan?

 

[BHD]

All your underachieving Finns are belong to us

While I think he can certainly bounce back and be a productive player, 30 goals seems like a stretch. It’s not like he wasn’t playing with McDavid or Draisaitl for extended periods of time.

It is a loss, but not offensively. His two-way play and presence will be missed but less so at 3mil.

I hope the Oilers are getting a coach in return because Puju is sure not the probleme
