NHL Legend Has Released a Strong Opinion on The Oilers Decision Regarding This Forward

Former NHL superstar Teemu Selanne always made headlines with his skill set and his scoring prowess. Ever since leaving the NHL, he has kept a low profile and he hasn't offered any opinions as of late. Well, that changed recently with his views about maligned Oilers forward Jesse Puljujarvi.

Selanne feels that the 24-year-old Swede needs a change of scenery to restart and recharge his career. I tend to agree with that.

The former first-round draft pick has not panned out well for the Oilers and can't seem to find his game. He has had many coaches and linemates and yet he still can't put a decent season together.

He holds a $3 million cap hit and he's in the last year of his contract where he will become a restricted free agent next season. With 45 games played, he has only scored 4 goals, and 6 assists for 10 points and is a minus 13.

One would expect his next contract would not be anywhere close to what he was signed for by the Oilers.
