I'll take Zadina over JP all day.

Another Pens fan trying to troll Detroit...

Both players are underachievers but Zadina is a notch better than Puljujärvi IMO. And he's locked in for 3 years at 1.825m where Puljujärvi is at 3m for one year then RFA and his agent likely wants a raise again...

There's a pretty big gulf between these guys: Puljujarvi v Zadina

Both teams are better off with their own guy here no reason for this move

and the oilers will happily keep Jp over zadina

Now if you can get the rest of the Oilers fanbase here on CapFriendly to agree that we will no longer have to have this conversation.

Yeah...he plays with Mcdavid and Draisaitl.

Uhhh JP plays with McDavid & Draisatl. Those numbers are weak AF for playing on lines with those two.
Zadina was often on the 3rd and 4th line with Blashill playing with guys like Adam Erne and Sam Gagner

And yet - somehow he has better on-ice numbers than both of those guys. He's top-5 in the league in relative terms... Zadina isn't close. So keep him - and we'll keep the far more impactful player.

And yet all that fancy crap has resulted in the same on ice production .38 ppg. We'll keep the player who still has real upside.

You do that!
