What more do you want Jesse? You had over 13 games in the minors in the last two years to perfect your game while dealing with a chronic injury.

If his agent did get Chia to agree to 40 NHl roster games a year to ensure a ~450k/year salary and RFA/UFA year burning, then he certainly needs to take some of the blame too for the lack of AHL time.
Chia being a pushover, plus a sense of entitlment from the Pulju side may have created the worst possible combo for this player that needed a heck of a lot more development outside the NHL. McLellan likely got a sniff of the entitlement from Pulju early on and that was it. His best hockey came his 1st year when he got some McDavid time. When he got dropped down, there seemed to be a point of no return for him for his opportunity in the lineup.

A) Never give games played promises as a GM. It's ridiculous.
B) Even if GMs give those kind of assurances to an agent, if it ain't working, you don't keep those promises.
C) If you HAVE to make those promises, it's probably wise to make sure he can at least speak English well enough to understand the coach, and that you actually think he's ready for the jump to the NHL.
D) Having a guy stay in Europe isn't a bad thing if he's not ready, so if it meant he didn't sign for a year or two, then let him stay there. I don't think he goes back in to the draft after two years like a junior player who didn't sign would, so let him ripen.
The problem was that the Oilers are forever selling top picks as hope, and so they thought given that he was highly touted that that was the same thing as NHL-ready. The risk of him not coming over immediately was just that it meant they would have had to address their right wing another way - possibly by not trading off Jordan Eberle, or by acquiring someone capable of filling that role.

Technically, the trade was Hall for Larsson, Lucic and Puljujarvi :)
If this was a properly run, not totally desperate team, we probably come way out ahead here just letting Pulju play in Finland for 2 more years before he plays his next year in the AHL. Guess the hip stuff would have shown up this year, so he gets a 2nd AHl year before he finally makes his NHL debut in 20/21 :)
