It looks like the Oilers want to keep Puljujarvi but need to confirm whether his salary expectations fit with theirs. If it looks like they may be headed for arbitration, JP may become a trade piece. I think $2.9M x 2 is higher than the Oilers are prepared to go.
Should Edmonton look to trade Puljujarvi, I am not sure Foudy and the 2022 44th overall pick will be the winning bid. Its a reasonable offer, but given where the Oilers see themselves I suspect they will want a more established player in return. Some other GM may be prepared to pay that price.
