It could be seen as a concern. But every other scout and mock draft has him as a top 3 talent.
Maybe Kekalainen (a fellow Finn) has over-analyzed Puljujarvi too much and is second guessing himself, who knows. But I agree, I don't want Calgary to give up a ridiculous amount to move up 3 spots. This Bennett + 6OA talk is lunacy. We're gonna get a stud at 6OA too (Keller is my choice haha
).
People have to remember that the expansion draft has thrown a whole new wrinkle into trade values.
Hartnell before this expansion stuff isn't too bad of a contract/player. But with the added negative value of the NMC/protection list it changes player value dramatically. Adding Hartnell devalues the 3OA and Calgary makes up the difference of value by adding 2 2nd round picks (54 & 56).
Friday can't come soon enough!
