I think part of the problem with the Puljujarvi situation is that it has become a totally proxy war against Oilers management. I'm personally on the fence with Holland's moves as Oilers GM - many have worked out, a few have been putrid. With that said, I'm just not sure that Jesse is a worthy combatant for the proxy war. Can he do some things really well? For sure - and although I'm not an advanced stats whiz, I understand how positive metrics there help out in the big picture. I also understand regression to the mean. It might be time to realize that any times JP contributed in a substantive manner offensively was the outlier - and an 8-10 goal, 25 pt third line guy is the mean.
There also needed to be more defending and coaching of him by his teammates and management - even if only for maximizing the potential value of a trade asset.

I think a lot of ppl were pleased with Holland keeping Pulju around and not dumping him a few years ago for a 3rd round pick.
Quite a rollercoaster since and now crashing and burning a bit. Saw the rumors that Holland told him he would move him this last summer, but couldn't get a fair trade. Jesse's confidence taking massive hits now and his ability to finish is worse than his rookie year for whatever reason.
General complaint may be what you mention in your last comment, the support is lacking in the org. That's been a thing with this org forever though. Guys get run down, take a beating in media, and the only answer is to dump them. Some guys recover and do fine, Talbot, Schultz, Dubs, Petry and some others. Some guys never do and some just never had it like Yakupov. I don't think there is any question at this point that this org is not the place for anyone with confidence issues or thin skin. Which lowers the talent pool available to try to fill our roster out to some degree. Not sure the org cares. We have McDavid and Drai after all, how hard can it be to surround them with all zero maintenance super confident warm bodies to fill that ice time while they rest?
Imagine at this point Jesse is fully feeling like a total reset is required for him to ever get confidence back. I probably wouldn't blame him if he feels there is no way he would get the necessary support in this org to turn things around. If he does move on, I wish him luck.
