Player Discussion Jesse Puljujarvi 2022-2023 Season (MOD note in OP)

[Aerchon]

He don't have to be qualified. Oil can let him go to UFA and sign him for less, which I'm sure is not a popular option here, but a possible one.

I am a big fan and want him on my team but the only way he gets resigned/qualified with the Oilers, barring a massive surge to finish the year, is if he takes less money. The Oilers just cant afford a player making 3 mill that brings what he brings. Very unfortunate but he is somewhat replaceable at half his current hit and thats just the painful truth.

 

[SwedishFire]

Why does always odd teams give dissapointing players a chance, Yakupov - St Louis, Pääjärvi the same, and now Puljujärvi Tampa Bay.

Pulju right now seems to be an elite grinder and forechecker, and welll, I hope the best for him, he seems to be a good guy, who fullfills his tasks. He just isnt practicing enough on his weaknesses,

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He'll be an RFA. The qualifying offer has to be 100% of this season's salary.

There’s also nothing that says he can’t re-sign for lower.

 

[Slats432]

People might be in denial. JP won't be an Oiler either at the deadline or not qualified. He hasn't been good this year so it isn't that much of a loss. Nice kid but isn't enough of a player to pay that money to. He provides 4th liner value. That is a $1M or so in value.

I support Jessi... I hate to see him go..

But..

We made the bet... we kept doubling down on him.. and it hasn't worked out either on ice or in trade value. We lost. We aren't even gonna get a pick for him now. That's pretty sad.

Kinda crazy but from the 2015 and 2016 drafts, despite having a boat load of picks and lots of big ticket players to chose from, outside of McDavid, the best pick to contribute to the Oilers might be Desharnais, lol.

Oh well. That's one way to get yourself fired I guess (ahem Chiarelli).

Ethan Bear, Caleb Jones was picked 2015 right? Bear at 5th round isnt bad. Good work by Bear to make it. Hes not a bad player, he is a 4th defenceman.

For us though, as an organization the net gain is basically nothing from all the picks post McDavid from 2015/2016. That pretty much killed Chiarelli.

Hopefully we can salvage at least Desharnais from that mess.

Come on! Release the Bison!

Caleb Jones was a part of thatbkieth trade.

Bear gave us Fogele.
I dont know why people expect stars from lower rounds. If you take a look at a draft, there is just a handful of lower round players that plays past 100 games. Its round 1 - 2, after that it significantly drops.

 

[Kaptah]

80% sure Pulju will be dealt during next week, but it is still possible that either Foegele (15%) or Yamamoto (5%) gets the axe instead. Holland must really regret giving oft-injured Yamamoto a two year deal, and thus making him almost certainly immovable.

True, my bad.

I get that you're a huge Puljujarvi fan as the next person, but the shit you say about Yams is as ridiculous as some of the false narratives placed on Puljujarvi. Be better than this.

nah, biggest regret was not dealing Jesse in the summer and getting 2nd for him (plus the cap space)

 

[Barrsy]

Likely a 2 wasn't available. History thus far proves that valuation correct

 

[Kaptah]

Trade him already!

 

[Kaptah]

Come on! Jesse needs to run free!

Realistically, the chance that the Oilers resign him is extremely slim at best. It seems pretty clear that if he is not qualified and becomes a UFA that he will look elsewhere.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Hockey news is reporting that he will be waived. Wow. I know he has struggled this season but that’s still surprising to me.

Any link?

 

[Oilhawks]

Any link?

If it’s hockey news it might as well be fake news

 

[russ99]

Holland alluded to using waivers, Hockey News is probably reporting that.

Curious what happens, I don’t see a trade happening, he has negative value and Holland isn’t the type to take back a bad contract in return or give away futures to dump cap.

We’d be lucky to have someone claim him on waivers and clear cap space.

But that’s a bit of a hard sell too, considering his impending RFA + arb status, who give a guy a two month show me look when he’s going to be not qualified/non-tendered, thus not a future option for the claiming team.

Kinda like HF Oil. But better

 

[Kaptah]

The salvation is near!

It’s also on TSN:

Cap-crunched Edmonton Oilers could place Jesse Puljujarvi on waivers before deadline - TSN.ca

Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland said earlier this week his team was in a "dollar in, dollar out" situation with the salary cap ahead of the deadline. TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston reports the team's cap situation could lead to winger Jesse Puljujarvi being placed on waivers ahead...
