Wrapping Up:This Must Be The Place

So here we are, feet on the ground and head in the sky. All of these roads have brought us to the present day, where a postponed NHL season made all seem quiet on the hockey front. Except for the rumor mill’s dull roar regarding these two Scandinavian forwards. While Pulujarvi has done a bit more to show he’s worth the investment, Andersson certainly still has the chance to reach his potential in a new environment.

Edmonton’s reported asking price is currently set at Andersson and a first-round pick for Pulujjarvi. Oilers GMKen Hollandis trying to establish a high asking price from which he can negotiate down. There is little chance of the New York Rangers, or any team will part with a first-rounder in such a deep draft class.

If Gorton decides to sweeten the pot to make a deal, it should be with a lower round pick or a mid-level prospect. Will the two teams reach an agreement with these similar storylines? The mystery continues for us all. It seems like a perfect match, but who is to say that ever comes to fruition. We don’t know what the future holds in store for either player’s NHL prospects.
