Confirmed Signing with Link: Puljujarvi signed to a 1 year deal with Kärpät, Liiga

[Albatros]

Good move, he might even be able to restart his career in Oulu. In Edmonton it wasn't going to happen.

 

[Gordievsky]

That only applies to players who aren't on the team's reserve list.

Sorry to derail, but where is all this stuff written down? Is there a 1 stop website with a clear explanation of all of the roster, contract, qualifying, waiver, playing in Europe, etc etc crap or do you have to go back to the source documents like the CBA to understand all this stuff?

 

[Henkka]

Shrugs, Ken Holland had a good offseason and Puljujarvi isn't too bright if he doesn't want to play for a winger starved team with elite Centers.

Grass isn't always greener.

Anyways, Holland is savvy enough to get something decent for Puljujarvi. Whenever... not like the player has done much for the club to be missed.

Would be the least surprice for me, if it's Yzerman who will pick Puljujärvi for the rebuild. And Holland will get something wanted (like Mike Green) he knows from Detroit.

Oilers will just need some time for the extra cap space to grow until December 1st.

Good offseason? How?

Was wondering this myself when I read that. I don’t follow the team very closely but last I saw people were wondering if he was going to really do anything at some point and I haven’t really seen anything pop up except the Ericsson/Lucic swap, then this which is a result of inaction.

His hands are tied until next summer when the Oilers actually have some cap room to work with. His offseason was fine, all things considered.

Puljujarvi leaving is not on Holland. The player wanted out and a trade couldn't be made, so he can go to Europe for a year.

4 years.

That's if he comes back and plays four more NHL seasons. The Oilers have his rights until July 1, 2025 if he doesn't.

Lucic for Neal is an unquestionable win IMO. He also managed to pull off what Chiarelli could never do in the off-season: stop f***ing it up further.

I mean, clearing cap space is an option, but can see that making such significant changes may not be in best interest while he’s still evaluating things.

Best way for Pulju to get out of Edmonton would've been to show up and actually play well for once, be it in the NHL or AHL.

Or kept his mouth shut and done the trade request in private so as not to sewer his value any further.

I guess that just shows how low the bar is in Edmonton these days. A good offseason = not making a horrific trade.

Maybe take a look at the situation that was inherited.

 

[pbgoalie]

Hell. Go play
Oil hold his rights if he figures it out and they don’t fight cap space for a question mark

Seems ok for both at this point

 

[BlueDream]

I mean... you’re worse than you were 2 years ago now.

But ok.

 

[Del Preston]

But ok.

He dumped the worst contract in the league and improved the bottom six, with limited cap space. That's good enough for me. Next summer is when bigger improvements can be made.

I don't know what else you were expecting but how about not turning this into another piss on Edmonton thread?

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Imagine being an Oilers fan.

All teams around them getting better... while they sign.....wait for it.....Markus Granlund, all while their best prospect refuses to play for them.

Just lmao.

I don’t think Oilers fans are losing much sleep about his 37 career points.

 

[HenrikW]

If Oilers had a dollar extra capspace for every post (and thread) on this forum shitting on their team they could have offered their whole team McDavids contract.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Good offseason? How?

Yea I have no idea

 

[JungleBeat]

The Sens offer a 3rd round pick. Take it or leave it.

 

[ijuka]

He should have stayed with Kärpät 1-2 years after getting drafted. 3 years late - but I guess it still is not a disaster as long as he has a great season.

 

[Iceman]

Does he genuinely think Holland will give in to his demands(?), which I guess is him thinking he deserves top 6 playtime in a league he doesn’t belong right now because of his draft pedigree.

Holland has been in similar situations with players like Fedorov before, Puljujärvi doesn’t bother him much.

Either way, going back to Finland might be good for him.

Hey progress is progress

It still interesting that only 8 forwards has more career points than Puljujärvi from 2016 draft.

It's not going to happen anywhere unless he adjusts his attitude.

Chiarelli did his development no favors but he's shot himself in the foot every step along the way.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

All Liiga contracts have built in out clauses for the NHL

That clause is for the summer with a June 15th deadline to sign an NHL deal. Puljujärvi and Kärpät have negotiated an individual NHL clause that allows him to leave mid-season.

If Oilers had a dollar extra capspace for every post (and thread) on this forum ****ting on their team they could have offered their whole team McDavids contract.

If that were true, I would have replied: The Oilers could and would have offered such a contract to the whole team...
