TSN: Puljujarvi on potential return to Oilers: 'You can never say no'

[Chayos]

That’s not exactly high hopes for him. I think if he comes and plays in the NHL he’ll get 35 points. Right now he’s at worst a 3rd line NHL player.

35 points in try he NHL is a monster victory for us as it was looking like no points a few months ago.

Sounds like he mangled "never say never", which doesn't rule anything out, but isn't exactly encouraging for a return either.

Look like you don't understand how translations work. He mangled nothing.

 

[viceroy]

Geez man this is HF if you go into the corners be prepared to be hit!

Hit? Throwing around biatchy emoji's like some edgy teen? Just try to be civil is what I'm asking for.

 

[Vitto79]

He’s easier to trade later if he just comes back

 

[Lambo]

I hope he can play for another team. Canes could be a good option.

Thats the best case scenario for all involved. Come back up your value and get moved if that’s what you wish. If he stays in Finland he’s only delaying his return to the NHL and let’s be honest. Time isn’t on his side. Oilers hold his rights for what 4 more years. Good luck with that

For him, maybe, but I don’t see the motivation for the canes.

SKA has acquired his rights in the KHL. SKA rarely does things like this without some deal already prepared.

He'll be back in Edmonton I'm 95% confident in that. 1 year deal

I don’t know why you’re blaming him and not the English translation from a Finnish news outlet, but OK.

edit: Yes, I should have probably checked if others responded to this before posting but it wasn’t a good comment and I reacted.

He’s not leaving Karpat for KHL

Well, probably. Or not.

[McTonyBrar]

Sounds like he'll be signed in the coming week

 

[Atoyot]

Sounds like he'll be signed in the coming week

Where does it say that?

 

[JT Kreider]

how has he played the last year?

 

[ole ole]

Where does it say that?

Come on now, You can't read between the lines.

 

[A1LeafNation]

JP realising his only way back to the NHL...

Wish Leafs were this hard in Marner.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Where does it say that?

Umm. Does it not sound like we will be resigning him soon? And the coming week signing I got from Kurt Leavins hold on

 

[McTonyBrar]

how has he played the last year?

I haven't really kept major tabs on him. He's not in the best of leagues so I have pessimistic views on him

 

[Langdon Alger]

Will McDavid request/demand that he’s not on the same line as him?

 

[dubplatepressure]

Will McDavid request/demand that he’s not on the same line as him?

You mean again?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Big boost to Oilers if he is healthy and can translate his success in Europe over here

Maybe with confidence boost of playing well over there he finally starts to show his promise in NHL

 

[Rpenny]

File this with Krug getting traded tomorrow

 

[Mark MacCrimmon]

If other teams are so interested in acquiring him, especially the Finnish GM that skipped over him in the draft, we better seriously consider what they see and what we could lose out on. Even a 35 point RW of his age, toolset and potential is exactly what we want right now. We would have to pay dearly to replace a player like him, we can't afford that risk with the holes in our lineup.

I could even see another year of development on his 2-way game being worth it, since his coach in Karpat seems to have such an investment and plan for his continued development. Yet, the time between Liiga start tomorrow and NHL start this winter may even be enough for that. The arrows are NOT down on this player. Keep him on the cheap for at LEAST this year, he is our best RW potential behind Kailer and it isn't even close

At 22 years of age this is what is called good player development finally he's 6 months older than Yamo for Chia's sake
