It answers many questions we had:

This puts an end to the many rumors sending Puljujarvi to Montreal, which will certainly make many fans happy.
Please note that with this trade, the Oilers free up $3 million under the NHL salary cap. This will certainly help them in their next trade (the acquisition of a defenseman).
Puistola, 22, is a 73rd overall pick in 2019. He has a combined 40 points in 56 games this season in the SM-liiga.
