Servalli thinks it&#8217;s time for the Oilers to make a deal to give Puljujarvi a change of scenery. The former fourth-overall pick from the 2016 NHL Draft hasn&#8217;t found his footing while with the Oilers and Holland could move him at the deadline.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Which team will step up to try and unlock <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Oilers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Oilers<\/a> Jesse Puljujarvi&#39;s potential?<\/p>\n<p>Or will teams make Edmonton pay to take on his $3 million salary cap hit?<\/p>\n<p>Breaking down Puljujarvi&#39;s game and fatal flaw:<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DeadlineCountdown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#DeadlineCountdown<\/a>: 3\u20e30\u20e3 Days to go.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Vegp4AiLMK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/Vegp4AiLMK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/frank_seravalli\/status\/1621569684511285250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 3, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/07\/26\/jesse-puljujarvi-signs-new-contract\/\" target=\"_self\">Puljujarvi makes $3 million<\/a> and Edmonton is right up against the salary cap. However, it&#8217;s not 100-percent certain the 24-year-old may be traded. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/y\/yamamka01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-07_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kailer Yamamoto<\/a> injury has thrown a little bit of mystery into a Puljujarvi trade. However, it does seem more likely that a deal is going to happen.<\/p>\n<h3>What a Jesse Puljujarvi Trade Means<\/h3>\n<p>Seravalli <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/news\/which-team-will-try-to-unlock-jesse-puljujarvis-potential-at-the-trade-deadline\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">goes through some candidates<\/a> that could land the young Finn. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Florida Panthers<\/a> do have connections to Puljujarvi as his current agent, Markus Lehto, was partners with current general manager Bill Zito. Holland recently put out a memo about the young player and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blues\/\" target=\"_self\">St. Louis Blues<\/a> responded to it. The Blues may be going through their own issues, but Puljujarvi could be a good reclamation project.<\/p>\n<p>There are other teams that aren&#8217;t against the cap that could take on his contract as a salary dump. The team getting Puljujarvi&#8217;s contract would also get an asset as a sweetener. Teams like the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/sabres\/\" target=\"_self\">Buffalo Sabres<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/canadiens\/\" target=\"_self\">Montreal Canadiens<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blackhawks\/\" target=\"_self\">Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> among others could take on the deal. A Jesse Puljujarvi trade will hopefully happen sooner rather than later for the Oilers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: Stephen Brashear-USA TODAY Sports It&#8217;s time for another edition of NHL rumours for your Tuesday.
