Puljujarvi’s agent speaks out regarding trade request

There have been rumblings for weeks now that former 4th overall pick Jesse Puljujarvi has demanded a trade from the Edmonton Oilers, but today the player’s agent has officially confirmed the request. When asked about the trade demand point blank, Puljujarvi’s agent Markus Lehto said:

”It doesn’t make sense to go back where we were last season, it’s not good for either side. Discussions about parting ways have been going on for weeks already. Jesse needs a fresh start and it’s nothing against the Oilers”.

It certainly sounds like Puljujarvi is done in Edmonton, but the question is now, “Where does he end up?” The division rival Vancouver Canucks have been linked to Puljujarvi for weeks now, but the Carolina Hurricanes and Chicago Blackhawks have also reportedly checked in.

Stay tuned, Oilers fans.
