Speculation: Acquiring Jesse Puljujarvi

[Scheifele55]

Today Jesse Puljujarvi's agent stated that Jesse has requested a trade from Edmonton. Winnipeg's last reclamation project was goaltender Laurent Brossoit who exceeded expectations. In a buy low situation, I was wondering what people thought of acquiring him in a low risk trade giving up minimal assets.

Personally, I would do it as I have always believed that a player was drafted so high based on skill which they aren't going to exactly lose. Winnipeg would be a great place to develop him as he would have a preseason opportunity to play alongside Patrik Laine who they probably have had strong past chemistry which could benefit Laine in a best case scenario. More realistically he could play in the AHL to fine tune his game and earn a callup if his game improves. Edmonton has done a poor job for years developing talent and in several cases flourished elsewhere.

Please be cordial. If you absolutely disagree you are not obligated to comment.

For the right price I'd be interested, especially if Chevy trades Ehlers for Pesce.

 

[kanadalainen]

Sure, for the correct trade Puljujarvi might work well here.

 

[surixon]

For the right price id consider it but we already have a surplus of wingers and he isn't at all a priority for me.

Also would we even be the best org for him. He'd have to beat out 5 or so players to get the type of role he's looking for.

Agreed

Not sure if we should be doubling down on more Finn’s.......Laine is already a concern. The guy better get his back handled & train hard this summer......not just ice cream & vid games

 

[Snot Rocket]

Interesting, I wonder a change of scenery and fellow countrymen would help him out of his slump that is the oilers team.

didn't he train hard last summer?

 

[Gm0ney]

didn't he train hard last summer?

I believe there were 10,000 posts debating whether Laine was training the right way. More on-ice vs. less off-ice. I haven't heard anything about it this summer yet...

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Moer threds!

Now, that wasn't very cordial, was it?

 

[folix]

At this point really what is he worth? A third....maybe? Your not paying a lot. I might be willing to send them frenchie as it helps us with our cap.

 

[Scheifele55]

It is okay, some people just lack maturity on here and in life.

 

[WPGChief]

I’m interested in it as I believe there was some twitter post that said he had a pretty damn good chance at rebounding regardless of his previous two years. Odds are still against him, but worthwhile to look at.

Given that it’s a third forward they’re looking for, wonder if maybe they’d be interested in Perreault + a decent prospect, maybe Lipon? Or 2021 2nd or 2020 3rd... For Puljujarvi and another cap hit back to bury in the minors, maybe Brandon Manning?

I’m not that evens out to the potential of Puljujarvi though... not to mention everyone hates Perreault right now even though he shouldn’t be regarded as such.

 

[Duke749]

And some people are sensitive to little jokes. I mean do we really need another thread on every player we might look to acquire? We have conversations going in multiple threads on these topics.

 

[Duke749]

Would you like a sarcastic smiley to make you feel better?

Moar Badminton.

I don't think you're trading for potential after 3 years pro in North America, you're trading for his value today. Chances are he ends up being unqualified next off-season if he doesn't turn it around immediately.

I'd deal Perreault for him straight up, maybe swap mid-late round picks in a way that's beneficial for Edmonton (ie a 4th for a 5th or something along those lines).

I wanted Pulju over Laine and AM. So ya, he's worth a second (look) at least.

Thank God your not our GM

You have to admit I wouldn't have as many Cap problems.

 

[TS Quint]

I dont think hes a NHL player but I wouldn't pay any more than they got for Yakupov, conditional 3rd. The guy seems to have nothing between the ears.

What's the deal with this guy? It's not like he didn't get playing time, if anything it was waaay too much playing time at the NHL level. He had every chance to succeed with a team desperate for a winger. He's got a chance to start fresh in Edmonton with a new coach and new GM and still he wants a new team? Does McDavid hate the guy or something?

 

[SCP Guy]

You got me there

 

[DRW204]

not interested. double hip surgery, poor production+scoring efficiency, and don't have an open W spot in the top 6 for him. rather give roslovic a more pronounced look than spend assets on him

 

[JetsFan815]

I don't disagree with a trade like this in principle but we know that there are "ruffled feathers" in the Jets locker-room. Do you want to bring another guy who clearly has had his feathers ruffled into a locker-room like that? I don't know if that's a positive situation either for the Jets or for Puljujarvi. The Jets need to sort out the ruffled feathers in that locker-room before they can hope to have success with reclamation projects like this.
