1. Edmonton doesn't make that trade.

2. He doesn't sign a 3 year deal less than his ELC.

Those are fair statements but I'm not sure a team would offer much better in a trade. No team is going to trade a 1st round pick for Puljujari and Johnsson is about equal value to a 2nd round pick but can contribute immediately. Plus, Edmonton is hurting for top 6/top 9 wingers especially on the left side. They currently have Yamamoto, Kassian, Archibald and Chiasson on the right side with only really Nugent-Hopkins and Neal on the left so moving Puljujarvi for a left winger that can step into the LW2 position would be huge for Edmonton.

That’s very far off no thanks from oil country

Johnsson was absolutely trash in that role in 2019-20, not sure anyone would give up any decent assets for him right now. And he's overpaid, too. JP likely signs a 2 year, $1.2M deal and provides more than 3 5v5 goals while playing with a superstar center for over half a season.
