Edmonton Oilers restricted free-agent forward Jesse Puljujarvi has signed a one-year deal with Karpat in the top Finnish league, the team announced Tuesday.
The contract is for the entire season, but it includes an opt-out clause that allows Puljujarvi to return to the NHL anytime before Dec. 1 - the latest date the CBA allows a player to join a roster without clearing waivers.
The Oilers made Puljujarvi the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, but he's mustered just 37 points in 139 career games.
