You think this is a veiled threat, and some bravado on Poolparty's part, to get traded out of Oil town?

Alf; It is widely known that Puljujarvi has asked for a trade. I would guess that several teams in Finland would love to have him play for them. Maybe what he needs is to regain his confidence, and perhaps the best way to do that is to play in a place that is both familiar and supportive. If I were Ken Holland, I'd offer to find him a place to play and tell him he can try again with the Oilers when he's re-established his game. That last management group was so inept that it is no wonder they messed up Puljujarvi's development, so maybe sanity and stability will help.

its a good way to force a trade.... I'm thinking 30% chance he isn't an Oiler by July 1st.
