Buffalo Sabres: A Trade For Jesse Puljujarvi Makes Sense

Last season, Puljujarvi played in 46 games with the Edmonton Oilers. Unfortunately for the Finnish national, he wasn’t too productive in those 46 games. He tallied 4 goals and 5 assists.

When the Edmonton Oilers took him with the 4th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, I assume that they weren’t looking to snag someone who’d only register 9 points in their second season in the NHL. You would normally expect better results from a winger taken early on in the first round. But, sadly, the Oilers are in a tough spot.
