Leafs fan here and I would not make the trade for the Rangers either.
Oilers are in a tough spot. Puljujarvi still has a high ceiling, but it takes power forwards longer to find their NHL game.
If the Oilers can't develop him patiently, they'll have to accept a low price or take longshots in return.
Besides that, it seems Russians like NY and do well there. I will not be surprised if Panarin signs there, and it's good to have at least a few guys that share native languages on a team.
