Jesse Puljujarvi finally acquired by the Montreal Canadiens? Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have finally come up with a truly interesting proposition
You're certainly getting to know the name Jesse Puljujarvi by now, the former 4th overall pick of the Edmonton Oilers who was ranked ahead of Pierre-Luc Dubois and Matthew Tkachuk in 2016.
His name has been linked to the Montreal Canadiens several times, and insiders have confirmed that over the past few years, he nearly got acquired by the Habs.
His potential is quite intriguing.
Could this year be the right one? In any case, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have a golden opportunity to take a shot, and here's why.
He absolutely wants to play in the NHL eventually, he wants it to work so much that he's willing to go through the American Hockey League to make it back to the NHL someday.
Puljujarvi and his agent have confirmed that he is truly open to this possibility.
«He will get another shot. I guess he'll probably have to start somewhere with a professional tryout or an AHL contract to try and get back.
I think it wasn't just a health issue that kept him from reaching the level he wanted to reach, and many people thought he could achieve it.» - Frank Seravalli
Interesting! He will now finally be healthy after undergoing hip surgery this summer to address a major issue he had.
Puljujarvi, 25 years old, is a winger standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 201 pounds, drafted 4th overall in 2016.
He has accumulated 114 points in his NHL career, including 51 goals, and his best season dates back to 2021-22. (36 points in 65 games)
The question is as follows.
Do you believe that Kent Hughes should offer him an AHL contract?
He could then add Puljujarvi to the organization entirely for free and have him play with the Laval Rocket.
The idea seems very intriguing!
