Puljujärvi was scoreless in Sunday night’s match, and the rumors are spreading.
Jesse Puljujärvi is expected to hear bad news on Tuesday. PDO
Jesse Puljujärvi departure from the Edmonton Oilers has been anticipated for a long time, and now it seems that the Oilers are ready to throw in the towel with the Finn.
Editor of The Athletic Daniel Nugent-Bowman writes on Twitter that Puljujärvi, 24, is being quickly put on the transfer list.
– It is expected to happen on Tuesday, unless there is a serious injury in tonight’s game or Edmonton trades him immediately.
When talking about “today”, Nugent-Bowman was referring to the game played on Sunday evening Finnish time, where Edmonton beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-6.
Also Sporsnet’s top reporter Jeff Marek anticipate on Saturday Puljujärvi will end up on the transfer list, unless he is traded before Tuesday.
Puljujärvi played against Montreal in his team’s second series. He was marked with a little less than 13 minutes of playing time. The attacker did not score power points.
Ending up on the transfer list would mean that other NHL teams would have a day to grab Puljujärvi for themselves. If no one worries about him, the direction would be Edmonton’s farm team Bakersfield Condors.
Tolvanen painted
