The fourth overall pick by the Edmonton Oilers in 2016, Puljujarvi spent six years with the organization before he was dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes during the 2022-23 season.
The Alvkarleby, Sweden has appeared in 382 career NHL games, scoring 57 goals and 127 points split between the Oilers, Hurricanes and Penguins.
