Hitchcock on Puljujarvi: “I wanted responsibility for his development. I didn’t just want to be watching him play in AHL. I feel this is type of player we need to win in the Western Confernce. I asked Peter if he’d bring him up for practice today.”
Surely music to the ears of many Oilers fans. Ball is in Pulju's court if he can win Hitch over and bring consistent effort. Opportunity is right there in front of him like it has never been so far in his Oilers career. Take advantage kiddo.

This is truly great to hear!!

That's cool, but in practice he was on the fourth line with Khaira and a rotation of Patrick Russell and Ty Rattie. We'll have to see if his deployment is actually any different.
Also disappointed to see that Rattie isn't really getting a fair shake. 4 points in 12 games is a whole lot better than many others playing above him in the lineup (Spooner, Lucic, Kassian, Brodziak, Khaira). Like not a criminal demotion, but I was hoping that Hitchcock would give everyone a fresh slate when he arrived.
