NHL Rumors: Nashville Predators Linked to Oilers Forward

Jesse Puljujarvi could use a change of scenery, and rumors have been buzzing about a potential move centering around him because. The Edmonton Oilers are looking to free up some cap space to make other moves at the trade deadline, so it makes sense that they are looking to move him. With the Nashville Predators needing some help on the wing, they have been linked to the former first-round pick.

Nashville was in on Puljujarvi this past offseason, but a move did not come to fruition. Yet, now that they are aiming to cement themselves a playoff spot, perhaps taking a chance on a former top prospect like Puljujarvi could make sense for them.

Puljujarvi could be a decent third-line option for them if he can find his previous form, and a move to Nashville could be the spark that provides just that. Let's see if these two Western Conference teams strike a deal from here.
