Jesse Puljujarvi is currently an RFA and will need to be signed by the Edmonton Oilers this summer. Unfortunately there have been a number of conflicting reports that seem to suggest that Puljujarvi may not wish to return and play in Edmonton. Puljujarvi’s agernt Markus Lehto has refuted these reports, saying the plan is for his client to remain in the NHL.
Puljujarvi continues to rehab in Edmonton due to a hip injury that had bothered him for most of the season. The injury appeared to be more of a growth defect than an actual injury he sustained in a game.
