McKenzie: Jesse Puljujarvi has requested a trade from Edmonton

[ChaoticOrange]

Maybe Lehkonen for Puljujarvi, but they're not adding a 2nd.

Correct. We’re hardly in a “pay to get rid of him” headspace.

 

[MortiestOfMortys]

Robby Fabbri potentially. I would prefer Pavel Zacha, but good luck convincing their fans.

If there's no promising name, I don't see it happening. In all honesty, JP should just sign with Jokerit for the year that was speculated. Work on his English and when he gets back over in a year or two, I'll bet he'd be shocked how much easier it is to find chemistry with his linemates when he can understand what they're saying to him. Same goes for his coaches.

I’d do a Fabbri trade for sure, but I doubt EDM takes that risk. We could throw in a pick and a conditional too for insurance

The canes might be a great fit, Aho has insanely great hockey iq and was the actuall reason why puljujarvi played so well at wjc 2016.. Ofc its only one tournament, but I still cant stop thinking about it.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

As a Sabres fan I'd do Thompson for Puljujarvi. However I doubt Botterill is willing to cut bait so soon with the "prize" of his ROR deal.

Chiarelli certainly would have considered it. 6’6 and 200+ lb? He’d have been Ron Burgundy blaming his erection on the pleats.

 

[go4hockey]

Puljujarvi for kapanen I guess.

Toronto would laugh at you with that offer.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Ha ha! That should silence some Oilers fans saying that Edm will get a 1st rounder for him or a very good return.

With that trade request, PoolParty has lost all his value.

Edm will be lucj to get a 3rd rounder for him now. LOL

Taking pleasure in a young man struggling isn’t a good look for you. Weird how it’s almost exclusively fans for Eastern Canadian teams that think this way.

Puljujarvi for kapanen I guess.

Guess again.....

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Is there a source of him requesting a trade?

Yes, the OP... TSN Vancouver....

The problem is about all they’d move for him is guys like Fleury and McKeown, who are also waiver eligible and not upgrades on what we already have. It just shifts the problem from an area where we do need help to an area we don’t.

Toronto's not in a position to laugh at anything. They don't have to accept it, but they're not in control of their own destiny.

 

[Smif]

Puljujarvi for kapanen I guess.

Maybe for Brown. Dunno if I'd prefer Pulju or a 3rd more...

 

[Jerzey Devil]

How about Mike McLeod?

We can and we will

 

[Alexander Edler]

Pulju and Lucic for Eriksson and Goldy? Just a thought

 

[izzy]

i dont see where he gets a chance in st louis on the wing

schwartz, tarasenko, thomas/schenn, blais, perron, and maroon if signed are going to be getting the chances. not an ideal roster for him to break in to.

not to mention sunny is probably going to be even better next year and is familiar with the team.

 

[belair]

We can and we will

Well I guess it is possible to laugh and cry at the same time.

 

[Liver King]

Do Edmonton fans think hes a change of scenery guy that can pan out or just someone who's not gonna meet his potential anywhere

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Then we just offer sheet Kapanen. All is well.

then the leafs would get more value than a trade of kappy for puljujarvi and Edmonton continues to tighten the cap noose around their own neck. Not sure that's a great plan but I'd love to see mcdavid with somebody as fast as him on his wing.

 

[Periwinkle]

#freepulju

Seriously though, I can't imagine JP having much value, especially since he hasn't played after his hip surgery.
Maybe EDM keeps him around long enough to show case him during pre season and then maybe a late second round pick+AHL player.

 

[SI90]

I don’t understand why he would want out? Does he feel he was mishandled? Seems odd to me. Yes
They’re deep on young forwards but not necessarily on wing. So it’s not like he’s got guys blocking his path.


Even if he wants out makes absolutely no sense for Edmonton to trade him now while his value may not be as high as it could be.

 

[Perratrooper]

To Col:
Pulj
Manning

To Edm:
Kerfoot

He needs a lot of work. Chiarelli/McLellan/Hitchcock botched his development pretty bad. Him also not wanting to play in the AHL didn't help either.

Our cap is fine. Russell and Sekera are being replaced in two short years by internally developed defensemen. This summer will probably be the tightest over the next several seasons barring us developing a Norris candidate.

As for McDavid, he already plays with Draisaitl--it's not getting any better than that.

 

[xECK29x]

Pool Party for Ho-Sang

 

[ChaoticOrange]

How about Mike McLeod?

Have you guys soured on him? I swear he’s in pretty much every proposal involving the Devils.

His goal total in the AHL scares me, have to admit.
