Google has just experienced a recent regional surge in the Edmonton area on Patrik Puistola.
LMAO...they passed on Tkachuk, Keller, Nylander, Sergachev etc. and now they have Puistola.
Not that drafting him at the time was that out to lunch, but when the Finnish GM passes on him to draft a Canadian...the red flags were already there. Then you plunk him in one of the worst places in the NHL for developing young talent, and that's how you end up with a middling prospect from a top 3 pick.
The opposite of the red paperclip trade. Nobody does it better than Edmonton.
