It wasn’t long ago that Edmonton Oilers fans were either hoping that Jesse Puljujarvi would be traded or he would be put on Connor McDavid’s line. Since then Puljujarvi has been traded to the Carolina Hurricanes. While Puljujarvi is still a restricted free agent, I do not see the Hurricanes qualifying him at the $3 million rate, so he will likely become a UFA.
In 75 games last season, he had 5 goals and 16 assists. That is with 58 games for the Edmonton Oilers and 17 for the Hurricanes. He also skated in 7 playoff games for Carolina where he got only one assist in those games.
