completely depends on how Puljujärvi plays

still, I'd be very hesitant trading willy. Ethan Bear has 1 full NHL season where was pretty alright, but he's generally been a minus. maybe that's just a product of being on edmonton idk though

willy could break out and score 40 next year, he was on pace for 41 after keefe took over

Value on paper aside, this does not fit cap-wise or position wise in several ways imo. I think the Leafs will find their wings are really depleted if Pulju doesn't really show well (which I think is a 50/50 shot), and the Oil will be one of the worst defensive teams in the league (they will already struggle to stay out of the bottom 1/3 of the league defensively as it is imo, relying on a lot of offense to win). I mean, look:
Nurse-Larsson
Jones-Barrie
Russell-Bouchard

Top pair that is a second pair in all legitimacy, two guys who are unproven but promising full time NHLers, a Barrie who will be played WAY too much, and Russell who is at risk of being asked to do a lot of top 4 time out of his depth again.

And cap wise, let's assume Bear is signed to a 1 year bridging deal, somewhere from likely 1-2 mil the way contracts have been going (you could do the 3 year deal you show, but I doubt it is the most likely scenario if the Oil were to sign Bear). The Oil are taking on around 4 mil in this deal in that scenario, which really they cannot afford (would be required to put Klef on LTIR in offseason, leaving the team with zero cap flexibility to bolster the D if it flounders).

Would rather the Oil focus on trying to re-sign Nuge to basically the same contract Nylander has, and continue with their bet that Kahun and Yamo can be decent complementary top-6 wingers, hopefully also signed to a combined total of approximately Nylander's cap hit next offseason on multi-year bridge deals.

The salary situation here makes no sense as Edmonton doesn’t have the cap, even if they wanted to do this. Otherwise the deal seems pretty fair, however Puljujarvi has the potential to be an excellent top 6 forward, and it would be stupid to trade him now before he’s realized any of what he could become.

What's this you say about good? I see no "good" here. Only bad. Although I do like the idea of getting Bear.

Value is seemingly fair, but not a good cap situation for Edmonton.

Klefbom and a 5th for Nylander..?

More fascination with other teams RHD. How is 23 year old so much better than 23 year old Dermot, 20 year old Sandin and 21 year old Liljegren?

I think it’s a fair offer but doesn’t make much sense for Edmonton to accept it.

I think Bear has to do a lot more to justify the hype around him, and pool party has to do just anything pretty much. No from Toronto imo

Liljegren is definitely in prime position to put together a season like Bear had last year on the right side in Edmonton. Most balanced Leafs lineup in the Matthews era by far imo. Just run with it.
