There's also this just reported by the very knowledgeable Frank Seravalli:
With the following addition, from Scott Matla:
So this is a file to watch closely as the NHL trade deadline approaches.
These are things that have been discussed for a while, but really seem to be on the verge of happening. Anyway, the discussions have intensified and it's coming from several credible sources.
Let's face it, it would indeed be perfectly Kent Hughes-like to acquire a young project like Puljujarvi, and give him another chance to blossom.
At 24 years old, Jesse Puljujarvi was drafted 4th overall in 2016. He has 10 points in 49 games this season, but he had a 25 point in 29 games to start last season.
He is signed at $3 million per season and his contract expires this summer.
File to follow.
