Jesse Puljujarvi, former 4th overall pick of the Edmonton Oilers in 2016, has been linked to the Montreal Canadiens on several occasions.

His potential is attracting interest across the NHL, and at 25, he recently recovered from hip surgery.

He has 114 career points, including 51 goals, and presents an interesting opportunity for several NHL teams. However, the idea of signing him for the AHL seems the most plausible option, according to DailyFaceOff's Frank Seravalli.

"He'll get another chance," said the journalist. I guess he'll probably have to start somewhere with a professional tryout or an AHL contract to try to get back. I think it wasn't just a health issue that kept him from getting to the level he wanted to get to, and a lot of people thought he could get there."

"I think there was also a confidence factor," added Seravalli. So I think he's got a long way to go, and teams aren't going to be knocking on his door for another opportunity after the way things ended in Carolina. It was pretty bleak, so he's come a long way back."

File to watch.
