Moreover, he would be open to signing a two-way contract and going to play in the American Hockey League!
We are talking here about the former 4th overall pick Jesse Puljujarvi.
Especially with the loss of Kirby Dach, it could create an opportunity for a great project like Puljujarvi.
And even if it doesn't work out with the Canadiens in the short term, he has been a dominant player in the AHL. (37 points in 49 games)
Why not give one last chance to a young talent like him?
Jesse Puljujarvi has just announced that he will soon be ready to make his big comeback.
He will be officially ready in December, as he is still recovering from his surgery.
We are talking about a big winger, 6 feet 4 inches and 200 pounds, who has not yet reached his full potential and was once destined for a very promising future in the NHL.
He is an unrestricted free agent.
Knowing that Puljujarvi is open to signing a two-way contract, should Kent Hughes take a chance on him by offering him a one-year deal?
The risk is nil.
Puljujarvi, a 1st round pick in 2016 (fourth overall), has accumulated 114 career points in the NHL, including 51 goals. He is 25 years old.
Would you offer him a contract like Lias Andersson?
