The Edmonton Oilers did it: they had a good 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Sure, it didn’t include P.K. Subban, but something miraculous did occur.
Columbus wowed everyone when they walked up to the podium and selected Pierre-Luc Dubois third overall, letting Jesse Puljujärvi fall to fourth-overall and land in the Oilers lap. And for Edmonton, selecting the Finnish right-winger was a no-brainer for Peter Chiarelli.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Oilers’ newest prospect, who is more than likely to be a force when it comes to the coming year.
