I really hope Holland told his agent the same thing as Yak. You go find a trade. Find out what the guys true value really is themselves.
Rumor: Pulju to KHL?

I never stated they could get a 3rd, I'm sure he could return a decent prospect or even a impact depth player
There are a few gm's who aren't snoozing on him. Holland likes Euro players himself we know so that's definitely why he's still an Oiler at the moment(and no reasonable offers as its early July, gm's will be giving Holland a ring you can count on that)

Cont. without supporting.
If the Oilers can get a good asset for him that helps now, of course do it. But I seriously doubt any other team would offer it. Especially after another round of his agent spouting off again.

Holy shit, either way can the agent shut up and stop tanking any remaining value of his client?

I want to give this guy the benefit of the doubt regarding maturity but I don't quite understand:
New GM
New coach
A superstar leader in Mac-D who is mature, thoughtful and intelligent.
I think the same can be said for most of the guys on the team, they seem like a good bunch in terms of their interviews.
So what exactly is the problem? Seems like a sweet deal to me.

Well...then I guess it should be obvious to Jesse that the bulk of the problem lies with him.
Its become quite clear that he isnt self aware enough to realize this and his agent isnt smart enough to know when to shut his mouth.
What a fine pair...they deserve each other.
This team is better off without him.
He didn't say anything new. This is just TSN rehashing shit.

His agent has said too much already. Basically destroyed any goodwill between the Oilers and his client.
I really want him to stay in the NHL. I want him to succeed in North America. I hope somebody acquires him, I’m not even going to be greedy and say I want the Leafs to. I just want him to succeed.

I sometimes have to pinch myself as I can't believe how things are turning in so many people's heads. Now I've seen plenty of posts where fellow posters call Puljujarvi lazy. And say he's thinking he's too good. That's quite the opposite from what I've read and heard from plenty of reliable sources.
And according to some of the things I've read it seems the Oilers wanted to get rid of Puljujarvi first. If that's true it must've affected the way he feels. I'm not saying anyone or any organization is the bad guy, I'm just certain things aren't as simple as many posters are saying.
I would encourage everyone to read this article, I think it's got some good points:
Edmonton Oilers have hurt Jesse Puljujarvi's confidence and his game, says Finnish sportswriter
- He said he could not blame Hitchcock for his ice time situation. “I haven’t earned that more that that. If I didn’t do anything at the time, then it’s like this.”
- Seppalla asked Puljujarvi about the possibility of being traded. “Yes, I’ve seen rumour, but I just need to go day by day. I don’t think about trade,” Puljujarvi said.
- But Puljujarvi told the reporter: “Let’s look at how this goes on. This is hard. For three years now, this has been a bit like so and so.. difficult time but no can do, need to just try fight harder.”
- Based on the tone of the article, Seppela appeared to have his mind made up when he talked to Puljujarvi that the young player was getting a raw deal, but the player himself doesn’t sound sour. He may not be happy that he’s not yet thriving, but Puljujarvi said all the right things, such as him needing to earn his ice time and owning up to a mistake he made in the game.
- Bob Stauffer of the Oilers organization has several times praised Puljujarvi’s work ethic and fitness, most recently talking about how Puljujarvi and goalie Mikko Koskinen are often on the ice working both before and after practice.

I remember when some Finnish poster came on here to say that not only was Puljujarvi not very smart......everyone that he knew was also a moron as well.
Thats still one of my favorite posts ever.

“Proven”
It’s proven you’re a virtue signaling do gooder that’s just looking for an argument because you failed to understand a simple concept.
Shhhhh you’re ruining the narrative that Bob Stauffer, Frag, BBO and others are desperately trying to write.

Who could have guessed this thread would turn into a bunch of tangential mud-slinging and ad hominems? Edit: Wait, I'm getting some deja vu, did I already say this or was that another thread? 
If I was Holland I'd tell Puljujarvi that he needs to make a decision to either play for a year or two with the Oilers to build some value or do it overseas. There is no point to trading him now. Worst case scenario, he shows poorly and his value tanks some more. Nothing doing. Holland and co. hold the cards.

Indeed they are. Nothing new, just TSN stirring the pot.
It’s hard to believe that the same agent managed to convince Chia, Booby Nicks and Howson that Kosikinen deserved the contract he got.

I just don't get it. You think you'd put in a ton of work this offseason and go into camp to try to make the team. New coach, new manager, and a lack of top end wingers. He plays in a position which we need player yet wants it handed to him.
That, and you know, we're screaming for some wingers to play with Nuge. Not sure where else he's going to get that opportunity with what he's shown?
I dunno, perhaps it's a cultural difference.

So what is it? Love how he said both parties will benefit...does he mean himself and JP?

Coming from the master of moving goalposts for JP...that's golden.

This has got to be one of the first times a first round pick (especially in the first half) has requested a trade 3 years after being drafted. Incredible given the absolute lack of wingers the organization has and the unbelievable opportunity that will be afforded to him. Such a sad case, very premature. I could see the request next year if things didn't work out. Something doesn't add up at all. From an outsider's perspective "tried his hardest" to make things work is not at all apparent at this stage.
