Rumor: EDM/CAR - Kase for Puljujarvi

[Chrispy]

I don't really get it. They'd basically be acquiring him to play on the 4th line.

I’m not even sure they would use him on the 4th this season.

This may be a way to get his rights and negotiate early with him as a replacement for Fast next year.

He wouldn't clear lol, not even close lol, Montreal takes him without thinking twice.

I'm not sure about that.... there are probably better ways of using whatever cap space we have. Taking him back to facilitate an Edmundson deal (for example) is very different from just adding him to the current team without removing a contract at the same time.

Yes I read that. The interesting part is that some sort of move has to happen tomorrow so Yamamoto can come off of LTIR.

I don’t really get why the Canes woukd want him in the AHL vs the big team. Seems like a dealing the Kase contract and taking a chance on Puljujarvi, if not just for depth, would only net them an additional $1.5M this season. They’ve got the luxury of plenty of LTIR space.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is, if it were me, I’d just deal Kase for Puljujarvi and call it done.

If they want him to clear waivers first, then they intend to send him to the AHL.

Didn’t stop them from doing the same thing with Kotkaniemi…

I mean... I get it but I also think it'd be stupid and pointless I guess.

I dunno, the Wolves are pretty bad this year, he might even crack their top 6.

Oh you mean in Raleigh... actually I just see him simply playing out the rest of the season in the A and then takes the Jesper Fast spot on the checking line next year.

 

[tinfish]

Not sure I see the point from Carolina's perspective. Don't they just give up 3m in cap when they probably already want to add actual good players at the deadline?

Canes like making succession plan acquisitions a year in advance. Kotkaniemi for Trocheck is the most famous recent example of this, but they also did this with Gardiner and Faulk (when they likely figured out that Gardiner's back was screwed up long-term, they successfully pivoted to Skjei). Puljujarvi may be a succession acquisition for Fast.

I hope we don’t make this move

You’re not making the succession plans look like a good idea here…

No, No... Kase for Puljujarvi. It's a great idea!

Are you sure? I was astonished that Tolvanen got only one waiver claim and he had been way better than Puljujärvi even before he was moved.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Maybe. Yet they keep doing these again and again. Maybe it's a bad habit, but they do it.

The Skjei trade and LTIR sort of saved the second situation, thankfully. It could've been way uglier than it actually was. Kotkaniemi is a true wait-and-see because it is a bet on an under-25 player.

this sees more like speculation by spec

Its Spector so it has no other option than being speculation.

No one credible with a solid rumour tweets a link to an article for you to sift through to read between the lines of to find out.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Pulju wouldn't clear waivers. I think there's two or three teams who'd take a chance.

Give us something at least.

Maybe Kase is able to play in the playoffs?

If kase plays, like you already know and he himself know, he never plays a long time just visits. Strikes a couple, and leaves the game.
