I’m not sure Edmonton is going to be able to re-sign Khaira and Puljujarvi for a combined sum of $1,700,000. Khaira has arbitration rights, so his contract will probably have to contain similar terms to contracts held by similar players. Looking at point production over the past 3 seasons, Kyle Clifford might be reasonably comparable. His salary is $1,700,000. Other players with similar scoring stats are paid roughly $1,400,000 - $1,500,000 for the most part.
You’re also suggesting Puljujarvi accept a cut in pay. I doubt he will, and he’s likely going back to Europe if the new Oiler GM held a hard line on a lower salary.
