McKenzie: Jesse Puljujarvi has requested a trade from Edmonton

[WingsMJN2965]

Different team situation tho. On the surface Legwand should have been a really good rental for a playoff team.

Detroit fans hated that trade before he stunk it up.

 

[McFlyingV]

Jarnkrok was still a highly rated prospect and Legwand sucked balls and was out of the NHL shortly after.

Just because Jarnkrok thought he was better than he was and didn't want to properly develop doesn't mean it was a good value trade. Detroit got hosed.

I suppose, but 36P in 57GP in the AHL (prior to the trade) in his draft+4 season is hardly impressive. Benson just put up far better numbers in his draft+3 and I wouldn't consider him a highly rated prospect. Perhaps our definitions differ.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Not surprised by this, he definitely needs a fresh start. Doubt the Oilers get a lot for him though.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

I agree, Raffl and a 2nd in 2020 should get this deal done between Oilers and Philly.

Andreas Johnsson for poolparty

Byron and a 1st for Klefbom and puljujarvi?

puljujarvi is obviously getting traded for sure, but that tweet is clearly an open message because he had terrible offers so far and trying to get the most out of it, it's gonna get at one point where he'll take the better offer even if in a vacuum it will hurt badly to have wasted a 4OV for the return you get

Shocking if true. I was told Kenny would get good offers for him.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

That’s not even a good offer for just Klefbom.

 

[Kale Hulls]

I don't see how they are remotely similar, aside from the fact that they both play hockey. Trouba is one of the better defensemen in the NHL and Puljujarvi isn't far from being booted to Europe or the KHL.

Do you think the return on Trouba this week was better than it would have been at the time he requested?

Too lazy to look it up but is JP waiver exempt next year?

When is JP getting traded? Cause he or his agent look like they are over playing their hand. He can be replaced, maybe with a better player for the qualifying offer amount. Signing an offer sheet has to be high enough for the Oilers not to match.

His best decision would have been to keep this out of the public and play better. The Oilers would have moved him as soon as they could. Now the best place for him is playing in Europe, hopefully well.

Nope and thats the problem. He will get claimed if he gets sent to the AHL.

The guy who has been roster 3rd liner ever since and was 1.5ppg in milwaukee?

I d say he was 100% right and Detroit burned another bridge sticking kids in the dumpster.

 

[Chayos]

It is not a problem really, because any team who gets him will be playing him or they would not be trading for him.

 

[n00bxQb]

Should ask Nichushkin how this scenario turned out for him.

What hand you are referring to? This looks more like "escape from edmonton at any cost".

 

[McRpro]

Kudos to Jesse if that's his mindset. It may just cost him any hope of playing in the NHL though.

 

[Diaz126025]

Right, because the Oilers sorely need nearly 11 million dollars worth of utter mediocrity.

Like I said, a blue dream lol. The Rangers could probably pull something off that Edmonton would bite at, but lots of other teams could offer a lot better. Love to have the kid though. Who knows, let's see if Gorton can pull another steal.

 

[McFlyingV]

I mean lets say a 3rd round pick is the best Edmonton can get for him. Is it really worth making that trade instead of letting him go to Europe where he hopefully improves and matures enough that he either comes back for a second chance here, or gets traded with potentially more value if he puts up great numbers over there? A 3rd rounder at this point does very little for Edmonton, so if Jesse's choice is to hold out in Europe and refuses to play another game in Edmonton then he just might have to wait the 6 years until he's 27 and becomes a UFA. 6 years is a long time to piss away an NHL salary, but if Jesse would prefer throwing away millions of dollars then all the power to him.

How in the world did you pull that out of Holland's answer?

There's no reason for the Oilers to trade Puljujarvi just because he asked for one. If someone wants to give something useful for him then Holland will listen.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Why do you think that? It's not like the team will miss him if he's not around. There won't be questions and distractions from the media asking if Jesse would have made the difference after any loses. Better to hold onto his rights if the team doesn't get any good offers.

He will get traded.(in short order)...just holding onto his rights does nothing but increase the animosity between the two parties.

He obviously has his reasons for wanting to leave the Oilers (there's obviously a terrible track record there for developing blue chip players).

Unless there's a deal that actually makes sense I doubt it. If Jesse refuses to play for the Oilers ever again why does any animosity matter? The team doesn't have to throw him away for scraps if that's all that's being offered. The player has much more to lose in terms of earning potential.

He has hope right now after 3 years of EDM development model?
