Puljujarvi is worth far less than Gurianov or Kravstov. If I were another GM I would look at the fact JP spent significant time with McDavid and in some cases both McDavid and Draisaitl and could literally do nothing. A baboon would literally get over 30 pts playing in that role (see Zack Kassian 2019-20).
JP is likely a 4th liner if he is able to hone his defensive game, which needs a lot of work even though there was a time recently where Oilers fans and media were saying he was elite defensively.
I think he will be a cap dump add on to another trade which when the trade is broken down will show JP has negative value at his $3MM cap hit. A team like the Coyotes will capitalize on that if a Chychrun trade happens.
