He's done nothing in the NHL yet. Kinda lame to try to be picky at this point or to think he's some kind of expert on coaching/management. I don't think it's about the coaching/management though personally. He's revealed to his teammates he is an immature goof with some entitlement issues. If he came back and played well, I'm sure it would be no issue and anything before would be water under the bridge, but I wouldn't blame him for doubting he can manage that this year coming off surgery and having no confidence in his ability to play in the NHL.

Jarret Stoll, Matthew Lombardi, Justin Schultz, Jimmy Vesey, Riley Nash, Tobias Rieder, Adam Fox, Jack Johnson...
There's a long list of players who don't have a resume when they decide to not simply go along with what's been prescribed for them by their NHL rights holder. If you're not in the right situation, then you have certain levers you can pull to try to change that. It may or may not cost you in the long run.
The kid has decided this isn't the right situation for him, and there's definitely reasons behind that - not all of which are immediately apparent. It sucks, because it's not in the best interests of the Oilers and we're all biased on that front, but it may still work out in Puljujarvi's best interests - even if he never comes back to the NHL, if he's happier where he lands, then he may consider that a win no matter what.

Most of those are guys that had an actual out though. Some did it simply to be able to make more money and get an ELC richer than what their current team would offer them.
He is certainly free to hold out, but we hold his rights until he's 27 if we choose not to trade him.
