I can't see Puljujarvi as having less value than Alex Nylander, which was able to fetch a pretty good price in Jokiharju on the open market, and that's from teams that aren't in a cap crunch like NYR. In that light, if for parity sake we say Jokiharju = Nylander = Puljujarvi, saying a trade involving Jokiharju and a decent 3rd line physical player for Kreider isn't the most far fetched thing for a team that needs to unload cap in order to sign Trouba (6+ mil), Buchnevich (3 Mil), and Lemieux (2 mil? maybe 1.5?). In a world without cap maybe the trade doesn't go through, but with their current situation I think it's pretty good.
