Puljujarvi Trade Suggested by Friedman

Would not do it. Volkov is a potential 4th liner for Tampa this year due to little weaker depth, and he was already fairly close to making it 2 years ago. And a 2nd round pick obviously.

Pulju is no 4th liner. It's either top 9 or bust and i don't see where the Bolts slot him.

ur a little bit over the cap

Puljujarvi is a year younger than Volkov and has played NHL games whereas Volkov has not. The Lightning really could do something along these lines because why not put Puljujarvi on a line with Stammers and Palat and have him play top 6 minutes, When he was on the Oilers he never was given the chance especially with a lineup that the Oilers iced anytime he played.

I hope to god this doesn't happen because the Lightning don't need the possibility to get any better, but if I were the Lightning I would accept.

I think that is too much for him. Volkov is going to be an NHLer if not this year next year and that second round pick is almost guaranteed to be at least a bottom six NHLer as well. I think if they make the move for him it is a lower level prospect like Sommpi or yan and a pick. The Oilers are not in a position where they have much control.
