He's opting out of Edmonton. (Unless the Eulers significantly up their offer presumably.) And, though he's getting less overseas than he would here, he's ensuring he doesn't end up as rusty as Nylander was when he finally signed. (Though Pulijarvi can only wish he could look that good with the rust showing.) I guess I just don't see why anyone would want to trade for a player of so little value holding out for a bad contract with a bad team. How good of a deal is Puljujarvi going to be in a trade?

How good of a deal is Puljujarvi going to be in a trade? I doubt his rights get traded (he's an RFA so he's not currently under contract) but stranger things have happened. Anyone interested in obtaining him is probably betting that Edmonton hampered his development and the classic "change of scenery" would fix him, but I doubt they'd actually offer enough value for him that Edmonton would give up his rights.

Mustache of God Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 For the sake of speculation, say you wanted Puljujarvis on the team, what prospect/pick deal do you think would get it done? Borgen and a 5th? Pekar and a 2nd? straight swap for Tage Thompson (feel like this would be the least likely) For the record I don't want him / think Buffalo is even considering him. Seems to go against that whole "culture" thing they're been failing at building for the past decade. The prospects challenge is next week, which means we'll finally have something to talk about. This has been a dry off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could see somebody offering a conditional 3rd or a disappointing prospect that shouldn't be as bad as he's looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they can trade away some of their lower guys that cost money to Edmonton, Pulujarvi has got to be cheaper than any of them. Or Tampa has some other deal in place once Marner signs - Point signs so they can maneuver around. Adding a rookie contract isn't exactly the hardest thing in the world to do Quote "And I think Carolina is willing to give them one of their prospects, maybe a guy like Gauthier, but is not so interested in giving the pick. I think Tampa Bay, they've flirted with back and forth, they kinda know which Tampa prospect they might be able to get, but again I think it's a combination of finding the two things that they want: pick + prospect" - Freidman Edited August 29, 2019 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paquette and Coburn in the 1.7mil range are the most expensive guys without NMC they can just trade away.

This offseason is definitely a unique one. I'm not so sure we have any comparable here. I feel like there's more unsigned RFAs at this point than all of the post-2005 seasons combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 I wonder if anyone would like to start a prediction poll as to which of the high-end RFAs are signed in time to start the season... It seems like at least one will hold out, and it's quite possible that one will be traded. If so, I hope JB is in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is who I think in terms of his talent, we are talking 8years x 12-14mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
