Description

The Faulk-trade talks have been in Karlssons shadow and now I believe the pressure can be turned on.
This is a big but simple trade!
Puljujärvi and Aho was amazing together in world juniors! I think Teräväinen played with them a year as well. Saarela should get a long and hard look this year as a 3rd line winger.
This can be a really good finnish core for them!

I wanted to add RNH but I couldn't make it into a trade that I'd consider fair. If he'd still play third line center behind McD and Draisaitl it would be possible but now he's the first line LW.
Lucic on the other hand, I wanted to retain 50% but that wasn't realistic. 1,5m is 25% and since the Canes want to become harder to play against they might take on the remainder of his 4,5m.

I also signed Lehtonen to light a fire under Mrasek and Darling but it's a november-signing, not a summer-signing.

The lines aren't set in stone. I believe Saarela could take a spot, Svechnikov might only be there for 9 games, Zykov maybe needs a year more in AHL or Wallmark steals it out of the gate. Necas is there while Rask is out, afterwards he'll either be in AHL or they'll find some solution.

Canes have oodles of cap space and can easily handle Lucic and his salary, especially with some of it retained. They would do well to make this kind of trade, but maybe they should get a bit more back for it ... maybe add Edmonton's 2nd as well.

Are you incabale of reading the explanation? Lucic is in the trade for salary reasons and Oilers retain 25%.
Read the reasoning and try again, 'cause it's about Puljujärvi.

I read it, don't try and insult me. You want positive value back for Lucic and someone who still hasn't proven himself at the NHL? Get outta here, go home

You're doing a great job insulting yourself since you obviously don't have a clue what your talking about.
Lucic is one year from 50+ points, he's overpaid at 6m but at 4,5 and a 3rd line spot in 5vs5 plus a spot in front of the net in the second pp he can be really useful. Canes have a very young team as only one player is north of 30 plus the owner have asked for more "grit" and for them to be tougher to play against.
Atm Faulk is their third best RHD so his value is higher for Oilers, he's UFA in 2020 as well so do it now. Puljujärvi havn't had a good start but it's not a high risk trade, reunite him with the friends he won U18 and world juniors with and he can thrive again. Maybe even be a 60 point player!
I've made this suggestion to both Canes fans and Oilers fans, some wanted Russell to take Lucic spot but this environment can be perfect for Lucic and he can be really useful for the Canes.
