Re-signing Puljujarvi should be the Oilers #1 priority in the offseason. <a href="https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/extending-jesse-puljujarvi-should-be-priority-one-for-oilers-gm-ken-holland-heres-why" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here's why.</a>

He's among the very best in the league in on-ice impact:

CF% Rel: 4th among all forwards
FF% Rel: 5th
SF% Rel: 4th
GF% Rel: 5th
xGF% Rel: 3rd

You don't trade a 23-year-old who has a top-5 impact in the entire league, especially when he's relatively affordable. There's no logical justification for it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>If his request holds is irrelevant. Sweeney has already shown he's not going to move DeBrusk for the sake of moving him. Trading DeBrusk leaves a hole at 1RW as well as leaves a 20G-25G hole in the roster. That $3 million in open cap isn't going to net a player that fills that 1RW spot. I'd argue that White is even a downgrade on Smith. White's best season was 4yrs ago where he had 41pts in 71gp. Smith this year put up 36pts in 74gp while having what many considered an underwhelming year. So you've worsened your 3rd line and have a hole you need to fill on your top line, just to get a prospect that plays a position that isn't really a true need right now.</div></div>

Eventually the Bruins WILL trade DeBrusk if he demands it. That's just how it goes in sports. And what I am saying is that Greig is likely a better prospect than anyone they could get in a straight-up trade for DeBrusk, including from a draft pick. And the tradeoff is Foligno for White? I would take it. White has considerable issues, his contract being the biggest one, but he's 25, from Boston, and certainly has more upside than Foligno. And Foligno and Smith are both expensive, impending free agents as well and Smith can be dealt for decent assets and cap space, more than enough room to replace DeBrusk.
