Puljujarvi will cost a lot more than that

Hahah thats not getting you JP. Not even close.

Why?

Because he was playing at a 41 point pase (.5 ppg). Hes not expensive for the oilers to resign. Fan favorite and he didn't even play as good as he, or edmonton wanted him to play. he missed so many grade A chances this year. got hurt and covid and didntplay well after that. He doest everything at the most elite level on the oilers except score and that will come he's only 23. Guys worth more than a 2nd and a prospect I have never heard of.

Everything you said points to this being the correct value for him.

It points to it being the most the Sabres should want to give up for him, but since EDM has no immediate reason to move on from him, they have no reason to accept anything less than an overpay.

its a lot like Casey for the Sabres. He's not particularly good, but has high upside. And since we're not exactly hurting for space, we don't really have to move him yet unless its a deal that helps the Sabres long term.

He's 23, never broken 15 goals in his career. 41 is a good offer for him with his inconsistencies. If he was so easy to sign him we wouldn't be talking about this.

Edmonton has about 7 mil in projected cap space per capfriendly and only 15 rostered players.

Casey is under contract and didn't leave the continent due to frustrations with the organization.

So they're under pressure to move guys who make a lot more than they are worth, Puljujarvi isn't that. They'll pay someone to take foegle most likely

Has puljujarvi requested a trade? He may have been frustrated in the past, but if the organization values him now, why would they sell low? It's the media thats driving most of this in edmonton.

You compared him to mittelstadt. I shared 2 things that aren't the same

2 things that hardly make a difference now. Puljujarvi is roster controlled and again unless hes asked for a trade, the departure europe is meaningless now.

The fact that he needs a contract makes plenty difference

If he were in a position to get a massive raise I would agree. He'll likely end up signing a contract close to what mittelstadt got.

A second round pick for a cost controlled 23 year old half ppg player... since when. give me ollofson for a 2nd
