I, for one, hope like heck the Leafs offer sheet Puljujarvi. It either gives the Oilers a long term contract with the player if the price is anywhere reasonable or some great picks. At this point I’m not sure which is more valuable.
It would be great to unload puljujarvi for a reasonable return. The most overrated player with the worst attitude.
