Player Discussion Jesse Puljujärvi pt 6

[guymez]

Cant recall where I saw this....it was in regards to Jesse's lower body injury.

Maybe he is Butt Hurt?

Hey come on now, he cant be butt hurt if he needs a second opinion. It's probably the black plague

Either that or they are debating between being butt hurt and having a badly bruised ego?
Yeah I know...I'm reaching too.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

A young, injured, unhappy, unproductive, struggling player with a mouthy agent becoming an RFA. Hoo boy hold onto your socks gents.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

Hope he didn’t catch McDavids diarrhea.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Whatever his injury is lets hope he rehabs it and can rehab his game. Right now I think he signs a 1 year deal to play in Finland perhaps with Jokerit in the KHL and the Oilers retain his rights. He improves and we can give him a run in 2020-2021. Or he flashes out and we trade his rights for a 3rd round pick. Either way the Oilers are guilty of massive fail in asset management and PJ is guilty of thinking he is remotely an NHL player.

Will be interesting to see how K.G handles this. Hopefully they can settle the issues, fix up j.p physically and mentally and see if we can turn this around and get a useful winger out of him.

I think it will be more on the incoming GM to fix as PJ is shut down for the remainder of the year now and by then we should have our new hire. Mind you it could still be KG. Either way you are absolutely correct, this will be interesting to see how it plays out.

So just reading twitter and people trying to piece the timeline together and I'm sort of getting this picture

• both oil and jp's side knew he had an injury but it wasn't severe enough to impact play and this was known 'for a while'
• either oil figured it wasn't major or jp's side purposely delayed proper diagnosis til now
• getting second opinion AFTER trade deadline is kind of fishy
• jp is no longer waiver exempt

i dunno if the waiver exempt part affects movement this season after the deadline or starts next season but if jp's agent purposely designed it so that next year, its NHL or bust [be it trade, waiver loss or actually on the oilers], that's a slimy move. whoever the GM is should pull an yzerman-drouin on this

He won't play in Finland until 2020 because of taxes. Maybe Switzerland.

3. Here is an update on the Jesse Puljujarvi situation. Here is what I do know. He did skate last week. He can skate without pain, but if he has to engage in a battle he feels discomfort in his lower body. I can’t confirm where the discomfort is, and speculating what an injury usually leads to an error, but I’m guessing it is a groin or hip problem based on what I’ve heard. Based on conversations I’ve had I sense they are getting a second opinion because they (Puljujarvi’s camp and the Oilers) want to figure out exactly what is the problem. Players often play with a nagging injury, but eventually they want to see progress or at least know exactly what the injury is.

GDB Game Notes: Oilers @ Predators

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Wonder what kind of contract he gets this summer.

 

[Little Fury]

You guys are dicks. Pulju could have a major illness like Cancer. Most of the time guys dont go get 2nd opinions for small surgeries like a knee surgery. They go for 2nd opinions when theyve been diagnosed with a severe chronic illness.

Oh hey Dr. "Klefbom has osteoarthritis" is in the house again!

 

[Nostradumbass]

Wonder what kind of contract he gets this summer.

2 year, 1-way, 1.5MM most likely.

 

[3IR]

Wonder what kind of contract he gets this summer.

I'm gonna guess it'll be a contract from another team.

I like JP and want him to succeed, but I think it's best if both sides move on at this point.

We aren't getting anything for him, and clearly any capable of developing him the way he needs.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Well how long has his hip been bothering him?

Good luck Jesse, get well soon

:]

 

[FlyingPhi]

I am wondering how much the hip problems may have affected his play... Proper hip movement factors into everything on the ice: even being in the wrong position can be a product of not being able to change direction optimally earlier in the shift.

He's obviously a talented player with some real potential. If he rehabs well, and the relationship can be saved, then, I believe, a bridge-contract with a reasonable AAV could end up being a good value deal with little risk.

 

[joestevens29]

It sounds like he should make a full recovery and be skating by the end of the summer.

Puljujarvi Out for the Season

Not exactly a good sign either. Who knows when he'll be fully ready and it's essentially going to take away any ability to work on his game this summer.

I guess he can watch a lot of film and learn english as well

 

[Yablo21]

Im gonna guess labrum, only thing you can realistically play through but likely requires surgery

Where do you see that potential?

 

[Yablo21]

Also generally a good prognosis, at least for professional athletes

 

[Yablo21]

Sorry for the rapid fire.
But I think if they quit on him it would be a mistake. This could have been holding him back quite a bit. I would let new coach and new GM have discussions with him and a plan for return and role on this team. His trade value is zero so if you have to put him on waivers if it doesn't work out then so be it. Trading him for a 3rd or another 4th liner doesn't help us anyway

There isn't a lot injuries that I worry about nowadays for a guy of JP's age. Lots of great advancements in dealing with injuries.

I agree. Unless there is another deal like the Strome or Domi one there really is no reason to move him.

 

[RattsSSV]

Man that sucks, hoped he could go down and be in an uplifting environment. Hope he heals well.
