from Jim Matheson at the Edmonton Sun,
Third-line centre, preferably a right-shot, or a top six left-winger with speed.
Or does Ken Holland swing for both, well-versed in being an NHL general manager over two-plus decades, who realizes players expect their boss to help them at the trade deadline if they’re in the playoff hunt.
The Edmonton Oilers GM certainly has Jesse Puljujarvi as his No. 1 chip to play, probably in every phone conversation, because he knows the Finnish right-winger who has 44 points in 43 games for Finnish Liiga’s Karpat, won’t be talked into coming back here, no matter who’s coaching or managing.
