Jouni Nieminen: Jesse Puljujarvi to a Kaleva Newspaper while at a charity hockey game in Oulu:
“I want a new start with some other team. Playing in North America is still my goal.”
“I will stay on Oulu until I have a contract. I will find a place to play somewhere”.
Jouni Nieminen: Puljujarvi added that he feels he’ll be traded by the start of training camp. He adds “My body feels like it should, and the operated hip is better than new.”
Jason Gregor: An issue for Puljujarvi is doesn’t believe the Oilers are in any rush to trade him unless they are able to get a fair return.
