Andersson for Puljujarvi

Gorton said last trade deadline that he doesn't want other teams prospects unless it's in addition to draft picks. Anderson is playing centre in the NHL and could also play wing. Puljujarvi is a bust of a draft pick playing overseas. If he's such a great prospect why is EDM trying to trade him? Horrible trade idea!

Hey @cd282

Some oilers fans think he has a lot of value still.

He was a 4th overall pick that played 139 games and had a point total of 37. That’s .26ppg or 21 points a year. He played 3 seasons which would mean he was either hurt or didn’t play in 107 professional games. He missed 43% of the games he could have possibly played in but I’m the clueless one. If he was such a priority the oilers would have signed him but the reality of the situation is he’s average at best.

Edmonton is not trying to trade him. They want to sign him. He has demanded a trade. Does not want to play for them. So Oilers will listen to offers but would still rather keep him.

He’s been tearing apart the Finnish league and was once a 4th overall pick. He has a lot of offensive upside but it wasn’t utilized in Edmonton. He is only 21 years of age. Andersson hasn’t been great in NY either and is not being utilized properly. A swap of these two players could benefit both teams and both players.

Sure, before last draft. We need more depth as it is, now we'll be selling Kreider, ADa, Stome and maybe Buch. Young forwards is what we're seeking. Most likely gritty role players suited for next year, not maybe picks ready in 4/5 years!
