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

[yukoner88]

No one's going to pay top dollar for him; that'd be nuts.

A tough line for Edmonton to toe. If I'm them, I hang onto Puljujarvi and just hope for the best.

Better yet put him in a spot that he can succeed in. Send him to Bakersfield and leave him there for the rest of the season. Let him find his offence and get confidence with it and have a chance at some playoff hockey down there. Then he can come to next year's camp with everything he learner and apply it then.

Agent Markus Lehto just worked out Teravainen's sweetheart deal with the Canes. Wonder if they have talked Puljujarvi.

What would boost Puljujarvi's confidence more than joining a team with Aho/TT? Canes have one of the NHL's top prospect pools to deal from.

I see a fit for Pulujarvi in Carolina, but not a piece that Carolina would trade for him that is close in value. Carolina's available NHL'ers are either UFA's or worth more than JP. Their prospects are good, but I don't see Edmonton trading JP for a different prospect.

I can read. The player is not worthy of a relevant return. No team is going to give up anything of value. No way.

If you can read, then you must have missed the posts from sources that suggest that NHL teams do want him. That means that NHL teams are offering a relevant return. Notice how none of the rumours are saying that teams will take him but aren't offering anything. It's that teams are actively calling, but the Oilers want a ton for him. That clearly implies that teams are calling with offers of relevant pieces.

Connor Brown straight up!

 

[Canovin]

I would take Alex Nylander straight up

 

[missionAvs]

PoolParty for Jost. Fan bases pay air fare.

I wouldn’t. Guy is a .5 PPG player in the AHL. Puljujarvi was .7 PPG at 18. If there’s a less impressive top 10 pick in the last couple years, it’s Nylander.

Jost or Thompson would make more sense.

That strikes me as the fairest option out there. Very similar production. Rantanen gets a fellow Finn, Jesse gets a mentor and role model to work with, Edmonton gets a local kid.

I doubt the Avs would trade Jost for Pulju

 

[unicornpig]

I’d do toffoli

 

[Jacob]

It doesn't seem like the type of trade that'd be made at this time of the year anyway. More of a draft day thing.

Avs fan suggested it, and it does make sense for both sides.

Laine + 1st?

I can read. The player is not worthy of a relevant return. No team is going to give up anything of value. No way.

The thread right below this one has Jeremy Bracco as a key piece in Toronto acquiring a top four RHD. At Puljujarvi’s age, Bracco had 6 goals in 50 AHL games.

Not saying you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, but I’m absolutely inferring it.

 

[Kranix]

Pulju's worth more than Laine at this point

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

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

that's exactlty what other teams do.

If the price is WAY too high they let some information out and the price will generally go down.

Again, Oilers being dumb. I'm sad for this franchise and fans

done
sign the papers sent it over to NHL Head Office

 

[Drew311]

Honka + 2nd.

 

[NiL8r87]

You guys would absolutely love Connor Brown.

Already did but the deal got called back for goalie interference .

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Nikolai Goldobin.

 

[LMFAO]

You guys would absolutely love Connor Brown.

Absolutely but not for Pulju

Brown for a 3rd rounder plz

 

[tony d]

I expected big things from Pool Party but he's been a disappointment. I doubt any team would offer the Oilers much of anything right now.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Pulj hasn't given the Oilers a reason to not be open to trading him. He's been nothing but disappointing.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Puljujarvi had some pretty decent underlying numbers over the past two years; especially for a teenager on a team like the Oilers. This year, his numbers have all fallen off a cliff.

You’ve got to think there’s some more potential there. I mean, he scored 11 points in 21 games in Liiga as a 16 year old. That translates to a 0.23 points per game in the NHL, which is higher than his actual 0.2 points per game in 45 NHL games as a 20 year old! Now, I know these numbers aren’t perfect, but they tend to be friendly to smaller players who beat up on kids in junior leagues, and not so friendly to 16 year olds who play well against grown men.
