“We’re trying to sign them, but it doesn’t look like we’re going to get either signed,” Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell told reporters. “So, if not, we’ll go to the market and see what’s out there for July 1.”

McElhinney, 36, finished the regular season with a 20-11-2 record to go with a 2.58 GAA, a .912 save percentage and two shutouts. He was 3-2 with a 2.01 GAA and .930 save percentage in five playoff games (four starts).

If the Habs had McElhinney instead of Niemi as backup, it goes without saying that they would have made the playoffs easily, with a better-rested Price to boot.

Lekhonen is and was always better than Puljujarvi, as a a comparable.

So they are aiming right selling the fact that he could bounce back. But there hope via asking for a 3rd liner tell us that the kid as more chance to fail than bounce back.

 

[Captain Mountain]

I still can't believe the Islanders are shopping Leddy. What do they want in return?

Why wouldn't you believe that? He's been pretty bad the last couple of years.

We don't know about always, but he's definitely better now, and the difference isn't insignificant.

I'd move Armia for him though. The truth is Montreal has depth to spare on gambles. Ideally they'd swing a quantity for quality trade first, but if that doesn't materialize, a gamble on Puljujarvi makes sense.

Lol. Lehkonen is better than Puljujärvi, and Armia is much more better than Lehkonen.

 

[Captain Mountain]

No he's not. He's bigger, which is nice, but Lehkonen is much better defensively, has significantly better impacts, is better in transition and is younger.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Lol. Lehkonen is better than Puljujärvi, and Armia is much more better than Lehkonen.

Lehkonen is a 4th liner on this team. It’s be very hard to let him go but Poolparty is just so tempting!

Oilers looking for 3rd line forwards huh?

We have plenty of those. Do we want to role the dice on this guy? I honestly don't know his game well enough. If the Oilers want to throw in a second, I'll trade Byron.

Jesse Puljujarvi Would look good playing next to Kotkaniemi. Jesse needs a change of scenery.

Puljujärvi’s agent Markus Lehto:

”It doesn’t make sense to go back where we were last season, it’s not good for either side. Discussions about parting ways have been going on for weeks already. Jesse needs a fresh start and it’s nothing against the Oilers”. #NHLfi

With the crazy contracts given to soon-to-be UFAs lately, I'd give a try at PoolParty for sure.

But no f***ing way we touch Lucic with an olympic pole that's on fire to get Pulju.

make the trade for Puljujärvi ,LOCK HIM UP long term ,not no 1-2 year deal....it will be a steal

 

[Deebs]

Who are you trading that Edmonton needs? I'm open to making a move for him.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Bring him home

Edmonton is cornered here...the price is goona be low for his potential upside..We certainly got the piece to get him no question, don't mess this one up

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Lol if the Price for a 3oa would be Armia or Lekhonen

im straight doing it.
who cares in the best chair those 2 are 4th liners.

 

[Deebs]

Byron for Puljujarvi

 

[Habaneros]

Byron for Puljujarvi

the word is Oilers would be willing to take a 3rd liner.....whether they get that or not is to be seen

No trading Byron ...

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Yeah I was always high on Pulju. I have very little handle on what he's done after drafting except that he's disappointed. Would definitely gamble on him if the price is low enough. EDM just seems like such a garbage org that I can't help but think it wasn't all his fault.

 

[Zorba]

Byron or Shaw would be terrific for the oilers

 

[Archijerej]

There is literally nothing tempting about moving Lehkonen for Puljujaarvi. And he finished the season on the 2nd line.
