Dreger says Puljuarvi is willing to stay in Europe until a deal gets done, which is new news I believe
Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Flexibility to make deals is always best around the draft. The Oilers shouldn’t give him away. However, I believe Puljujarvi is fine with staying in Europe and playing in KHL or Finnish league if there’s a waiting game.

I think there's a real fit here and Calgary should pursue aggressively. A Janko Pulju swap makes sense IMO.

The Oilers are going to get a second round pick for Puljujarvi from someone. As incompetent as the Oilers are they are not trading him for a 24-year-old AHL journeyman.

thank you so much, Jarmo Kekalainen! That pick alone made so many good things happen.
that being said, I think Puljujarvi is salvageable in the right environment. Hope gets traded for spare parts and lights it up in his new home.

Could see Carolina looking at it.
Haydn Fleury for Puljujarvi could make sense for both sides.
Gives the Oilers a cheap, young, controllable d-man in Fleury who is stuck in the log jam in Carolina.
For Carolina they re-unite Puljujarvi with Aho - which could give him the spark he needs to ignite his career, and really with Bean ready to step up to the NHL Fleury is lost in the shuffle for them.

Lazar's likely a free agent come July 1. Why would the Oilers trade for him?

good call actually. Don't think Fleury is all that, so I wouldn't be sad to see something like that.

Move Janko over Bennett every day of the week. Why would we give the Oilers Bennett that would be terrible for the Flames.

Pool Party has been meh under multiple coaches and in both the AHL and NHL, and he's coming off of hip surgery to both sides. He's the ultimate in low hockey sense and IQ right now. He just doesn't look like he thinks the game very well.
I wouldn't trade Bennett for him. At least Bennett brings a physical edge that we lack, and he can play through the forward lines.
Poolparty is just a black hole of nothing right now and has one foot on a banana in the NHL and another foot in the KHL.
To me he's at best worth a second round pick or less.

I don't think we know what JP is yet. About all we really know is that he's another victim of Edmonton's stellar development program. Throw him in the river and see if he swims.
But no, you don't move Bennett for him.

Yeah, I think he is closer to a schultz than a yakupov IMO.
You dont go neck and neck with Laine in your draft year only to poo the bed. Unless of course you're drafted by the worst team in the NHL.

That does make some sense for both parties.

I don't think this guy is very good. Looks just like Yakupov to me as the NHL game is too fast for him. Heck the AHL game is too fast for him.

Maybe they could package him and Lucic together. Nothing in return, just someone please take our garbage.

He's not terrible defensively for his age, he's a huge body, and he's a right shot. That's already three things Yakupov wasn't ever going to be.
Maybe he's not the Blake Wheeler 2.0 he was originally hyped as (then again, Wheeler took until six years after his draft to break out) but he's got a lot of attractive tools to be a valuable middle sixer. I mean if Jake Virtanen could make it, Pulujujarvi sure can as he's a far more valuable piece.

If we could get him while keeping all of the key roster players Dube, Mangiapane, Andersson, Valimaki, Kylington, Parsons and our 1st rd pick I think you do it no matter what.
Assets in play would be Jankowski, Frolik, Neal, Stone, 2nd rd or later rd picks, any other prospects etc.
Is it enough to entice a divisional rival however? I seriously doubt it.

Yup way too early to completely write him off IMO. Feel like sometimes the early picks that start in the NHL get written off early. He's only 21 and really the issue is the Oiler rushed his development.
Look at Tyson Jost who was also taken early in that draft year.
Jost: GP-141 G- 25 P - 49
Puljujarvi: GP-139 G- 17 P - 37
Pretty close overall (Jost has played on the better team) but people still see Jost as a developing prospect while Puljujarvi is getting written off.
A team is going to look smart for picking him up IMO.
