I see this playing out a couple of ways:
Puljujarvi plays in Europe, plays well, increases his value somewhat, but Oilers still deal from a position of weakness as pro scouts haven't seen him playing and teams are leery of him being in Europe. Maybe people feel better about his hip issues though (the pitch the Oilers should be making right now should be he wasn't playing well because of the hips and will be better now).
Puljujarvi plays in Europe, plays poorly, basically becomes a worthless asset the Oilers can't turn into anything (hello Zach Pochiro!).
Oilers get spiteful, bury Puljujarvi, refuse to move him, and get nothing at all.
Oilers panic and take the first possible deal and get next to nothing (The Chiarelli Special).
Oilers don't panic, but move him this summer. I'm HOPEFUL the return can be another young player in need of a change of scenery, perhaps someone with a lower ceiling but a higher roof. Someone like Jack Roslovic (I believe he has asked for a trade also?) or Alex Nylander or Robby Fabbri or Josh Ho-Sang. Honestly, I think this is the best possible scenerio at this point, and if a deal is in place for this type of player - a damaged young prospect with upside - they should take it, because that is basically what Puljujarvi is at this point.
But goodness, don't let spite get in the way of a return, because chances are it will only get worse the longer you wait. This isn't a Drouin or Duchene situation... this is a guy with NHL history and so far it hasn't been very good. He's young and he isn't hopeless, but... I can't see anyone gambling large on him right now.
