This is going to titillate Hab fans to no end

They've dreamed it into reality!

Great move if the Oilers can pull it off.

I'd be shocked if Puljujarvi had that kind of value that he could convince a team to take on the Lucic contract. Maybe if they add in their 1st unprotected for this draft as well.

 

[smitty10]

I guess Puljujarvi is playing out his contract in Edmonton.

 

[Empoleon8771]

They're not going to find any takers, but I don't blame them for trying. Dumping Lucic is more valuable than whatever they'd get back for Puljujarvi, but good luck finding a taker for that.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Lol ahhahah.

 

[King Woodballs]

Who would want either of them

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

How many teams would be in the market for an overpaid bottom 6 guy and a young top 5 pick who's struggled mightily?

 

[LTIR]

The return would be a cap dump and nothing more for this duo.

 

[Esq]

For Seabrook?

 

[405Exit]

YAHHH right. No one is taking Lucic contract. Even if Pulju is included.

 

[These Are The Days]

Hahahahahahahaha have. Oh my GOD

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Lucic and Pulju

For

Okposo and Nylander

Oilers better retain Lucic 50% salary

30 teams in the NHL can turn Puljujarvi into a star player, Edmonton cannot. Trading teams gets him cheap but take on an expensive contract for 4 years.
I can see a few teams that might be interested ...Vegas, Carolina, Montreal

As they should be. Add some 2nd rounders and b prospects and see if someone bites.

I think Bergevin might go for Lucic + Puljujarvi + Jones + 2nd for FC

 

[Menzinger]

Lucid is overpaid by 2 million even with the Oilers retaining 50%

To be fair, the Oilers retaining $1.5-$2 million on Lucic's contract makes that a much easier move with adding Puljujarvi. Lucic at $4.5 million and Puljujarvi for a 4th is similar to the Bickell and Terevainen for a 2nd trade that happened a couple years ago.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Lucic, Puljujarvi, pick to Seattle

 

[BlueDream]

I bet teams are lining up to take a bust + an awful contract. What a package!!

 

[thaman8765678]

Does Puljujarvi even have any value at this point? I'd imagine you would have to throw in a Draisatl to move Lucic contract.

 

[Joey Moss]

Larry Brooks doesn’t have a f***ing clue what’s going on with the Oilers.

[Bryanbryoil]

We shouldn't be giving Jesse away but I don't think too many teams would consider such a deal. Carolina maybe since they did something similar with Bickell and Teravinen?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I don’t get why they don’t move Lucic for Alzner. The guy can still defend and would help the Oilers.
