Kotka plays #3C so that's perfect for PuljuAll those teams Pulju would be in the bottom 6

Cool send him for a 2nd before Montreal can say noKotka plays #3C so that's perfect for Pulju
Dammit,we should of got a Russian center for Yakupovs!Why do people assume that playing with a Finnish player is going to magically fix his hockey IQ and agent issues?
It's largely disingenuous, because it's trying to create an association that really isn't founded.What?
It's a KHL team. He would be leaving to play in the KHL. There is nothing misleading there.
Hockey IQ can be fixed to an extent. Pulju does have the tools. Just need to work on some fundamentals and he would be a middle 6 player. Look at Nurse. Always seems like a tool but no toolbox type of player. Look at him now.Why do people assume that playing with a Finnish player is going to magically fix his hockey IQ and agent issues?
Might get a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him

I mean with our shit ass wingers, he couldn't do enough to get himself off the 4th line with 2 coaches.Yeah we have too many wingers anyway.
Arguing for the sake of arguing.I mean with our **** ass wingers, he couldn't do enough to get himself off the 4th line with 2 coaches.
He was doing such a great job.
Cause going back to Europe after floundering in the NHL almost never helps the org or the player become better NHL players.Arguing for the sake of arguing.
Goes to the KHL to develop and work on some fundamentals. Bad
Stays on the Oilers. Bad
Seems like you have your mind set on trading him for pennies on the dollar
Tie him to Lucic and free up $7M in cap space.
Getting a 2nd or 3rd round pick doesn't help the Oilers either. Pulju has a better chance off turning his career by spending some time in the KHL than those picks becoming NHLers.Cause going back to Europe after floundering in the NHL almost never helps the org or the player become better NHL players.
The best place for him is the AHL but he can't go there.
So he either accepts a sheltered bottom 6 role here in attempts to develop or if him and his agent think that's a slight to God, then ya, trade his ass.

50-60 points would be incredible at this point.Playing with calm professionals who speak his language would help him settle socially and give him more time and energy to focus on his on-ice issues.
50-60 points should not be out of the question. He has a wicked toolbox but has needed to focus (and fail) off-ice for a while and that hurts his confidence for sure.
A 2nd round pick helps us more than a kid playing in the KHL till his rights expire.Getting a 2nd or 3rd round pick doesn't help the Oilers either. Pulju has a better chance off turning his career by spending some time in the KHL than those picks becoming NHLers.
The best place for him is somewhere where he enjoys playing hockey again.
Might be different for RFAsPlayers as of late have verbally agreed to khl contracts prior to July 1st
