Jesse Puljujarvi's Career is at Stake After Recent Surgery
Jesse Puljujarvi's career got a rough start. Things weren't easy for him in Edmonton before he got traded to the Hurricanes. There, he showed improvement.
Now, as he's preparing to enter the free agent market, a major development was released, complicating everything for the young Finnish.
Bad News for Puljujarvi
The former fourth overall pick underwent a double hip surgery and will miss several months.
It was also reported that he won't receive an offer from the Hurricanes, and will become UFA.
Per Chris Johnston:
"There is word that Jesse Puljujarvi recently underwent double hip surgery and is facing a lengthy recovery. He won't receive a qualifying offer from the #hurricanes before tomorrow's deadline and will become an unrestricted free agent."
His future is extremely uncertain. If he comes back healthy and ready to play, he'll need a contract. If no team is willing to give that to him, he may decide to move his career to Europe.
