That's going to have to be a really cheap acquisition for me to want him. 98 points in 259 games since joining the NHL (too soon) in 2015-2016. 5 points in 20 playoff games.
Started the season with 23 points in 28 games. Got Covid in the middle of December. Had just 2 points in 14 games after coming out of protocol. Not going to say his second half struggles are entirely the fault of that but sure looks like it at least somewhat derailed what was going to be a breakout season for him.
Also had the top CF%, GF%, and xGF% on the Oilers. Was of course fortunate enough to play with McDavid but he had a positive impact on all those numbers for Connor too:
| Together | McDavid w/o | Puljujarvi w/o |
CF% | 59% | 52% | 57% |
GF% | 69% | 47% | 58% |
xGF% | 61% | 53% | 57% |
Even if he doesn't ever explode offensively, a big/fast 45-50 point winger who puts up those types of on-ice results is something every team should covet.
