Oilers twitter saying Jesse has been placed on Injured Reserve!!!??? Hahaha what? From 4th line role, to healthy scratch to IR. No reports anywhere that he had been dealing with any kind of injury.
Wild.

I assume they have diagnosed a serious character deficiency.
|
More likely a bruised ego.
But seriously, this looks like a must trade situation. His value is dropping rapidly, the rest of the league knows there are issues here, he's been completely mishandled and his agent wants him on the ice or on another team. I can't figure out how the Oilers can manage this asset successfully at this point. Trading a first rounder 20 year old for a third rounder or third liner would just be more crap in the frying pan for the OBC.

Nope.
This is the exact worst time to move him. It looks desperate, and you have a GM with training wheels on. The agent has just made a powerplay and the whole league knows that the player would like a new start...and that the team is a laughingstock known for giving away assets for nothing.
The normal Oilers course of action here is to start questioning the player's desire and work ethic publicly through their friendly media guys - no official quotes of course, but lots of shade cast...just so that they soften up the fanbase for the impending deal. It does tend to also soften the trade market, but you have to try to keep them mad at someone else, so a little character assassination is par for the course.
What they SHOULD be doing, of course, is praising the player - saying that the team is committed to him, that they think he's moved in the right direction despite any signs to the contrary this year and that they expect him to be a big part of the answer here - if fact, they're counting on it.
Maybe you trade him in a year, but at this point, with what's happened the last month you're not getting full value, so rehabilitate the player. Then if he rebounds the team can either trade him for something good, or actually have a usable piece. If he flops? Well, the Oilers won't get a lot less for him in a year than they'd get for him now...

We are pretty in control here. It's not like Pulju is setting the world on fire lately. He's RFA with barely any bargaining power to demand a big raise. I highly doubt any offer sheet comes his way.
By all accounts, it sounds like the Oilers are doing what they should. Listen to offers, sure, but nothing short of getting a max 22-23 year old young solid player will be acceptable. And rishaug said this morning the plan is to get him to the AHL after his injury is fixed this week.
Lots of players get frustrated and unhappy with their situation. Time for this org to make it seem like they finally have a clue of what they're doing and convince the players they are part of something that will get better. Still need to make some proper hiring/firing moves though to fully convince anyone.
