I don't think Edmonton looks to trade Puljujarvi this year: the odds of him returning now are really, really high and at what he's expected to sign for, is too good a deal to pass up. He had an NHLe of 35 points as the best player in Karpat, he'll likely produce similarly to Kapanen next season, but he'll be $2M cheaper.
I don't see St. Louis wanting to add Larsson, even if Pietrangelo chases a paycheque. They still have Parayko and Faulk eating big minutes on their roster, and would be able to do more with a cheaper bottom-pairing option.
I'm clueless as to why you've opted to just sell Rodrigue off for less than the pick he was drafted with. He just had a strong year in the QMJHL and might push Wells out of AHL employment in December.
Also, there's currently zero way for Edmonton to acquire both Lafreniere and Askarov without Edmonton getting a hold of another top-15 pick.
