Breaking News - Jesse Puljujarvi signs a surprising new contract
When the off-season began it was widely rumoured that the Edmonton Oilers and Jesse Puljujarvi were headed towards a separation. Puljujarvi's asking price from the club was too high and both felt best that he find other opportunities. Well it appears at least for now the two parties have come full circle.
According to Elliotte Friedman, the two parties have come to terms on a new one year agreement.
Jesse Puljujarvi and EDM avoid arbitration at 1 year, $3M
Last season in 65 games Puljujarvi put up 14 goals and 22 assists for 36 points.
