I don't know if Edmonton really did anything wrong other than drafting him. he's not a very good player, and that's on himmore like what a waste of developpement. The pressure to win now in Edmonton has been killing their young guns.
Or the Nichushkin route then comeback to score 0 goal!The Evgenii Dadonov route... nice.
Then he can come back and become a 70 point player!
Love how HF immediately translates "Team wants player back" to "player wants to go back to team."
His agent came out and said he wants to continue his time in Edmonton. Somebody has already posted a link in here to this whole story being debunked.
I'm sure Vaxjo would like Pettersson back too, doesn't mean it's happening.
What is this the TMZ forums?
Pettersson is under contract and doesn't have a tenuous grasp on an NHL roster spot. I could see Puljujarvi going back to SM-Liiga. He and the Oilers could be pretty far apart on salary numbers.Love how HF immediately translates "Team wants player back" to "player wants to go back to team."

McLellan didn't give a role to the player, rarely communicated with him, gave him little to no leash to make mistakes, and benched him a lot. Management provided him little off-ice support (e.g. no English tutor for over a year, no arrangements to live with other players) and didn't have a clear development plan for him.I don't know if Edmonton really did anything wrong other than drafting him. he's not a very good player, and that's on him
Another young player ruined by the Oilers.What a waste of a #4 overall pick
His qualifying offer is $874K. He's getting at least that much. No Liiga team can afford anywhere close to that money. The top players in the league make around 300K Euros.Pettersson is under contract and doesn't have a tenuous grasp on an NHL roster spot. I could see Puljujarvi going back to SM-Liiga.

Worked great for Valeri Nichushkin.
I remember that being the case like 8 years ago.. I figured the salaries would be higher now.His qualifying offer is $874K. He's getting at least that much. No Liiga team can afford anywhere close to that money. The top players in the league make around 300K Euros.
Double Hip surgery to boot.
RIP career
I honestly thought the big 3 2016 Finn prospects were going to take the league by storm. Its been weird seeing Puljujarvi/Juolevi fail to materialize and now Laine is regressing as well.
He's expected to be fully recovered by training camp.He's very unlikely to be 100% coming into training camp
