Pittsburgh trade is interesting but Pittsburgh doesn't need another defenseman. Pittsburgh would much rather take Ferland if they are trading with Carolina. The Edmonton trade is very interesting as Edmonton needs another quality player like Ferland and Puljujärvi needs a change of scenery. I think a line of Svechnikov-Aho-Puljujarvi would be interesting and could wind up being a monster line for Carolina for years to come if they decide to trade for him

Classic case of grossly overvaluing your players. That’s a lot for Faulk, even if he is under contract.

If you think Ferland is worth a 1st from a non playoff team and a 20 year old 4th overall pick you are going to awfully disappointed come trade deadline.

@Bringer_Of_Snow just took a look at your posted ACGM teams...not sure your view of Oiler players value is exactly correct. You might want to forget that JP was 4th overall and realize he hasn’t panned out. If he was playing to potential or showing signs of it, he wouldn’t be on the block.

Guess what. Not a single team is giving Ferland a 1st round pick.

Puljujarvi has not played to the level expected. Rational Oiler fans want to hang on to him as he has only played 2 years on a North American ice surface. It’s such a different game. I don’t agree with how he’s been handled by the team. He shouldn’t even have played a game in the NHL. The AHL is where he should be.

Ferland is a UFA. Oilers aren’t going to want to pay what he asks for.

Not only that, but there is not a single person in the world who thinks the oilers are cup contenders. So why are giving up a first rounder for a rental?

You are completely right, valid points. Well played...you’ve won this debate.
