This Pulji very much impresses me, and I'd take a look at getting him if I was Chevy. I watched him play, and he's big and fast, and just needs some time. At one time he was rated 2nd only to Mathews by Central scouting and dropped off for some reason, and Laine passed him, in the selection ratings.
Although he had a disappointing season last year, he is a Finn, and would adjust nicely with the other Finns in the Jet's lineup--like Armia and Laine. It's my belief when a young guy comes over to North America, he suffers from "culture shock"-- not knowing the language, no friends or family, and a different way of life over here. I believe this guy could have huge upside.
I'm sure we could trade someone to the Oilers that would entice them to part with Pulji--and he might be the biggest trade lottery we ever made. I think he will be a bit of a late bloomer--just like Scheifle was -- but it may be worth a shot.
As for RHH -- he'd probably be a good fit as well, but he is a bit soft, and depending on what the Oilers want for him, I'm sure Chevy has been thinking of this as well. It will likely take Myers and another player -- or a straight up trade for Trouba--although I don't think Trouba would want to go there. If Trouba signs here--you can bet he'll have a "no trade"-- "no move" clause in his contract.
