My proposal: Calgary trades #6, #54, C/RW Joe Colborne and LW Michael Ferland to Columbus for #3 & LW Scott Hartnell
Columbus gets a 2nd, a big young-ish centre & a younger & cheaper replacement for Hartnell to drop down 3 spots.
Calgary gets Puljujarvi, who fills a huge organisational need, and Hartnell who replaces Ferland with more offence & plenty of leadership qualities, albeit at an inflated cap hit & with a high likelihood of diminishing returns.
I like that deal for Calgary, but is it enough? Some might say it's an overpayment, but I doubt Columbus bites for anything less than that.
