3 million gone without having to dump off any draft picks I can live with this.

 

[The Bored Man]

Good luck to him.

Good riddance to the more obsessive members of his fan club.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Got something back for him. Win.

 

[NeverForget06]

Honestly this isn't even the worst return ever... 22 years old and leads his SMliiga team in scoring

 

[jlockhart89]

It's finally over!

Don't know much about Puistola, former 3rd round pick that is now 22. Seems to have decent-ish numbers in Finland. But the key here is dumping JP's $3 million for no cost.

 

[jukon]

Who is our hit leader now?

 

[Senor Catface]

I can finally say it.

The way he ate that pizza in the background was super disgusting.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Best of luck Bison King.

Really interested in what the next move is

 

[Mr Sakich]

wonderful trade for Oilers. Sometimes, the player doesn't work out and it is the teams' fault. Other times, it is on the player. IMO, the oilers gave him every chance to succeed. I was cheering hard for this guy but pretty happy how this turned out because I thought his value was negative

 

[KlefDown]

same vibe

 

[RandomGuy79]

I'm kinda surprised that the Canes would make this move?

 

[Beerfish]

Too bad Yams was not dealt but maybe there is hope still for him to be tossed.

This is a move that should have been made before it as essential we move him. Both him and yams should have been gone this past off season.

 

[KlefDown]

wish him best in Carolina. He'll be in a good environment with Aho, Tervainen and crew

glad this chapter is over, go dump Yamamoto next Kenny

 

[Shanahanigans]

I'm kinda surprised that the Canes would make this move?

Nah they love their forecheckers. Brindamour's teams play exactly like he did, and a guy like Pulju fits their team profile perfectly. They have a bunch of guys who are great forecheckers but struggle to score.

 

[Beerfish]

I'm kinda surprised that the Canes would make this move?

Why? Despite general belief Pool party has some positive points to his game. Puistola is hardly a high end prospect.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Good luck to Jesse. Hopefully he finds some chemistry with Kotkaniemi and Aho.

 

[TGOSnipes99]

Nice. Yammo, you're next

 

[Rafters]

I'm kinda surprised that the Canes would make this move?

I’m not, they use analytics and to be honest Jesse has played well, great forechecking, backchecking, been physical , has tools but snakebitten all season

 

[Little Fury]

I'm kinda surprised that the Canes would make this move?

Maybe the second best team in the league knows something that one of the worst run teams doesn't.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Holland better hit a home run with that space, but my trust level is near zero

 

[Tom Brady]

Nice. Yammo, you're next

 

[jukon]

All the best Jesse. It's too bad it didn't work out here, but I'm glad to see you headed to Carolina. I think that was a team you really set your sights on.

Always a fan.

 

[Oilers]

hopefully Pulj finds some success with Aho. Recreate some of that WJHC magic

We got an asset for Pulj instead of paying to dump salary. Id chalk it up as a win

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Best of luck Pulju, sadly it couldn't work out here.


That 3mil is huge though, especially with no added strings attached. Plus with no NA player coming back they can start to break up the log jam at the AHL level.


Paging Lavoie: here's your shot. Don't waste it.
