Bear is a young RHD with clear talent and potential who's well worth taking a chance on, but has clearly lost favour with Rod in Carolina and it seems likely that he's on the way out. He makes too much sense for Ottawa not to target him

With Smith and Cole both UFAs, Hamonic at only 1.5 might make some sense as a really cheap option on the 3rd pairing. More of a throw-in though. The return isn't really the point here, although I'd be curious to hear Canes' fans thoughts on Bear's trade value.

Puljujarvi, despite taking a step forward this year, seems to have been demoted to the 3rd line in favour of Yamamoto and has some nights where he doesn't even clear 10 minutes of ice time. as a pending RFA, there's a chance that the Oilers explore other options at 3RW. Puljujarvi as a big-bodied puck retriever for Stutzle who can add scoring could be a really good, cheaper-than-Fiala, fit.

Honestly I can't figure out what Puljujarvi's trade value is, I'd like to hear Oilers fans thoughts about it. I know that in the midst of their current playoff run, fans probably aren't thinking about making these sorts of changes, but I think that the Sens should be making calls on him in the offseason, and I figured 39th overall pick and a half-decent prospect might be somewhere along the right lines, although I could be way off.
