Jesse Puljujarvi was selected 4th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft by the Edmonton Oilers after recording 28 points in 50 games in the Finnish professional league as a teenager. At 6’4”, 201 lbs, the Finnish right-handed winger looked like he was going to slot in right next to Connor McDavid and just go to town. In his first taste of North American action, Puljujarvi put up one goal and seven assists for eight points in 27 NHL games while he spent 39 games with Bakersfield in the AHL putting up 12-16-28.
