The Oilers are not retaining any of Puljujarvi's $3 million cap-hit, per Chris Johnston.
This is a huge trade for Carolina. Puljujarvi now reunites with Sebastian Aho; the pair dominated the 2016 World Juniors - along with Columbus Blue Jackets F Patrik Laine - in pursuit of a gold medal.
Aho and Puljujarvi combined for 31 points in 7 games for Team Finland.
Meanwhile, the Oilers free up $3 million in salary cap space, which ought to grant some flexibility in facilitating a trade for D Jakob Chychrun or another piece ahead of the trade deadline.
