They're not getting a good asset for him, GM's aren't that dumb to give up that much for what is rapidly becoming a reclamation project.

I winced when the Oilers drafted Puljujärvi. We had an interesting conversation with my brothers. I told them that the Oilers were going to destroy him, one way or another, whereas they we're telling me no way, he'd be playing with McDavid and scoring lots of points. Hah.
I think Team Finland should sue Edmonton for ruining what should have been a mainstay on our national team for years to come.
