I'd say it's OJs spot to lose if he plays well. With that said, we could just be dressing 7 dmen. Fantenberg was beating out Benn most of the season and if OJ has leapfrogged him as well, then I don't think we are looking back at this point. When they started putting OJ with Stecher, it looked promising. 1 hour ago, skategal said: Might depend how he does in a real game environment tonight, he may be neck and neck with Rafferty who the Canucks have seen in NHL games already. Rafferty and Juolevi play different sides, so I think they would both be "first callups" (assuming OJ hasn't beaten out Fantenberg already) on either position. If an RD goes down, they wouldn't have OJ in and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 OV with 2 goals gives him 50 goals on the season if they counted these stats towards regular season scoring , which I think they should for this game and the play in round games...

If an RD goes down, they wouldn't have OJ in and vice versa. All this talk about the good news for Juolevi, the Canucks, and Canucks fans got me thinking about what Pool Party is up to. So I dragged this off the Deadmonton Journal: Jesse Puljujarvi's strongest hint at return to Edmonton Oilers: "I have grown and I see things a little differently" Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: Jul 29, 2020 • Last Updated 2 hours ago • 2 minute read Sweden's Mikael Wikstrand skates against Finland's Jesse Puljujarvi in the Euro Hockey Tour's Karjala Cup on Finland Nov. 10, 2019. JUSSI NUKARI / Reuters, file Article Sidebar Share TRENDING Masks will be required in Edmonton's public indoor spaces starting August 1 after city council approval Edmonton weather: Hotter than the hottest hot that ever hot with Video Alberta Legislative Assembly wraps up spring sitting with passing of Bills 30, 32 Player grades: Hard-hitting exhibition ends with Edmonton Oilers beating Calgary Flames 4-1 with Video COVID-19: Four new deaths reported in Edmonton; Good Samaritan Southgate Care Centre becomes city's largest outbreak Article content This in from Jesse Puljujarvi talked to Tampere Iltalehti, his strongest statement yet that he’s backed off the notion he’ll never again play for the Edmonton Oilers and is thinking of coming back: “You can never say no. I have grown and I see things a little differently. There’s now a different GM and head coach out there. Build a winning team in Edmonton. It may be possible that I will still be playing there.” In regards to his latest conference call with Oilers GM Ken Holland and coach Dave Tippett, Puljujarvi said: “It was a good and constructive conference call.However, I will not go into the details. The call left a positive overall picture.” Jesse Puljujarvi's strongest hint at return to Edmonton Oilers: "I have grown and I see things a little differently" Puljujarvi said he could sign with his club in Oulu again this year, but return to the Oilers when the NHL season commences late in 2020 or early in 2021. My take Calmer heads are prevailing. It’s clear that Puljujarvi was unhappy with his previous treatment in Edmonton but there’s also a hint here he’s taking responsibility himself for his previous mediocre play. The most hopeful comment he made here? “I have grown and I see things a little differently.” On the right wing, Edmonton has Zack Kassian and Kailer Yamamoto on the top two lines, Josh Archibald and Alex Chiasson just below them, with Cooper Marody and Patrick Russell also in the hunt for pro jobs, and Kirill Maksimov on the farm. Yamamoto and Kassian are part of the long-term future of the club, but it’s not clear Kassian will always be a top line winger. There’s an opening for a strong two-way winger on the second or third line for the Oilers, with Archibald hanging in as a checking forward. It could well be that the Oilers still trade Puljujarvi, who makes it clear playing in the NHL remains his top goal. He may well have more value to a team with a gaping hole on its right side and in need of a top young attacking prospect, but one who is 22 and not 18. It’s not like Edmonton doesn’t need Puljujarvi. If he can find a way to bring his “A” game to Edmonton, he can help this team win. But another club may see even more value in him, given that team’s specific needs.

They should but hard to do without everyone else playing too...personally think they should count them as regular season but to be fair they should keep them in an entirely different column like pre-season games.... think they all count as playoff stats in the play-ins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's efficient with his paths on the ice, and he's almost always in a position to move the puck. He won't punish people often for entering the zone, but he does hit. He almost always makes it back to take position between the puck and the net. He likes to shoot, and he has a nose for breakouts. He's healed, he's ready, and he's still a top prospect. This is his time to shine, and I really hope that he becomes a part of the core. The fact Greener is playing him speaks volumes IMO. We all know he loves vets and we also know he's willing to sit players that we're regulars all season. Man, HF Benning haters will lose their sh*t if they lose yet another bullet in their quest to prove they know more than an actual GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty amazing that one more 50 goal season for him would tie him for the record of most 50 goals seasons in NHL history...with 3 of the seasons during his career either shortened or cancelled.
