Sportsnet: The signing deadline for Jesse Puljujarvi to be eligible to play in the NHL this season is today at 5:00 pm EST. Puljujarvi has said he wants to finish the season in Finland, and that may even be the case if his rights are traded today.
“Right now, everything fairly quiet around Edmonton Oilers forward Jesse Puljujarvi,” Johnston said during the Headlines portion of Hockey Night in Canada. “And it’s my belief that he wants to remain in Finland even if he is dealt.”
Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Sun: Don’t hold your breath on Jesse Puljujarvi getting dealt before the deadline.
