He’s a passenger, that doesn’t do anything particularly well. The Oilers would be better off trying to pawn him off for a pick at the draft then watch his value continue to plummet. He’s a Pajaarvi clone - not good enough for a top 6 role and not tenacious, physical enough for a bottom 6 role.
Very similar players I would agree, although Puljujarvi doesn’t have the scared beaten dog reaction when it comes to physical contact.
How does a pick help the team in the near future? Should we deal him for. 2nd round pick that has a 20/30% chance of becoming as good as 20 year old Puljujarvi currently is?
