"The rehab process has been very encouraging for Jesse Puljujarvi, to the extent that he may be prepared to return to the NHL as early as next month," Johnston stated on Insider Trading Thursday. "Given the revelation of his offseason double hip surgery and the absence of a qualifying offer from the Carolina Hurricanes, he's back in Finland, has resumed skating, is reportedly feeling strong, and is actively seeking a new deal. Perhaps a low-risk, cost-effective option for a team to consider during the season."
