Puljujarvi has yet to live up to the top-5 overall pick projections he should have and has not broken out of his shell, Puljujarvi has stated he feels a lot of pressure playing on the Oilers with McDavid, many predict Puljujarvi will bloom with a different organization that has a smaller market. He holds a $3 million annual salary that is set to expire this summer..
Seravalli has stated something interesting though, he doesn't believe St.Louis and Tampa would be able to take on Puljujarvi's contract so a third team may need to be involved to take on some salary cap. Seravalli suggests the Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes or the Montreal Canadiens could be that third team jumping in to take on salary cap if it can benefit the organization long-term.
