Edmonton Oilers: Everything to Know About Jesse Puljujärvi

The Edmonton Oilers did it: they had a good 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Sure, it didn’t include P.K. Subban, but something miraculous did occur.

Columbus wowed everyone when they walked up to the podium and selected Pierre-Luc Dubois third overall, letting Jesse Puljujärvi fall to fourth-overall and land in the Oilers lap. And for Edmonton, selecting the Finnish right-winger was a no-brainer for Peter Chiarelli.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Oilers’ newest prospect, who is more than likely to be a force when it comes to the coming year.

Jesse Puljujärvi (Pull-You-Yarvy)

The 6-foot-3, 201 winger is known for excellent skating, speed and skill when it comes to puck handling. His scouting report says it all.

"Puljujärvi is a big winger who combines size, skating and skill. A strong skater who can blast past the opposition in full speed. Able to use his size, reach and stickhandling skills to retain the puck in speed. A smart player at both ends of the ice, both on and off the puck. Great work ethic and positive attitude.More of a playmaker than a scorer and could improve his shooting skills, although already equipped with an accurate release. Doesn’t shy away from physical play, but could use his size more to his benefit.”–Elite Prospects"
