TSN: Puljujarvi's Agent - "Might be actually benificial [to go] different paths, different routes"

[justafan22]

Though this isn't breaking news, Rishaug is close to the organization and broke news in the past, notably floating Taylor Hall's name in trade rumors days before he was dealt.

If a team was stupid enough to trade for Griffin Reinhart...

 

[Captain Controversy]

Yeah Oilers need to just hold on. Don't make stupid decisions. There have been enough of those.

 

[justafan22]

Forgot to add that he loses waiver exemption next season.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

This is the exact kind of thing that gets leaked right before a player gets traded for a pretty mediocre return.

JP needs to go to the AHL. He needs to embrace it. Seems clear now why he hasn't been there all this time.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Wow, you don’t say...

 

[Filthy Dangles]

"proper return"

What could they realisitcally expect? Some other reclamation project? He's not going anyhwere.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I wouldn’t worry too much or react too egregiously here. Rishaug is echoing what Dreger said yesterday in that the asking price is high.

98% of the players in the league are tradable for a ‘proper’ return.

Bakersfield has won 13 games in a row and is largely doing so on the backs of guys in Puljujarvi’s age range. A feature role in a Calder cup run would do wonders for his confidence.

 

[benedictTavares]

Why even float he is available? Is this some sort of crazy motivation play on managements part.

 

[lifeisruff]

A. Nylander for Puju, one for one.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

the microscope is on you Keith... lets see what you got

EVERYONE is waiting to see that first trade you make

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Idk that id even trade our 2nd for him right now.... that 2nd could be borderline 1st.

 

[DomBarr]

Forgot to add that he loses waiver exemption next season.

hmm....if they believe that he just needs more development rather than sign him and have to keep him in the NHL next season or risk losing him to waivers..I wonder if they wouldn't be better off having him sign a 1 year contract in Finland/Sweden/KHL. They retain his rights but will be forced to leave him there for the year.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I bet the Pool Party is coming to Manhattan

 

[780il]

I wish we could reverse Reinhart somebody.



Quick, someone hire Chia!

 

[ProspectsSTC]

May as well do it while he still has value. He has looked entirely ineffective

 

[Bazeek]

He's a really weird one to predict a return on. He's a young, cheap forward that's been considered to have a ton of upside, which you'd think is exactly what the Oilers need more of. They can't take cap back unless it's a bigger deal, and moving him for picks seems pretty futile.

If they can make some space (maybe by trading Talbot?) I could see something like the Sprong for Pearson deal.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

not a chance id move that 2nd for him

 

[super6646]

He won't find his way in Edmonton, I can safely say that at this point given how they have yoyoed him around. Should've stayed in Finland for a year to learn the language.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

A. Nylander for Puju, one for one.

Nylander at 20 cant match Puljujarvi’s 18 year old AHL Numbers.

Whatever you think of Jesse, he’s better and further ahead than Nylander. Only team benefitting from that deal is Buffalo.

 

[trick9]

I'd propably still move Burakovsky for him, although Burakovsky has been much better recently.

 

[yababy]

Russell, Puljujarvi and a 2nd round pick for Zibanejad

 

[780il]

I'd propably still move Burakovsky for him, although Burakovsky has been much better recently.

No point in trading him for a guy 4 years older that's only slightly better offensively and much much worse defensively.

 

[780il]

Russell, Puljujarvi and a 2nd round pick for Zibanejad

That's awful for the Rags....

Stop.
