During a recent interview with a Finnish newspaper, Jesse Puljujarvi talked about his major hip surgery that keeps him on the sidelines.
As Puljujarvi says, a double hip replacement is a long and tough rehab process, and he is expected to miss several months next season.
Puljujarvi is still a UFA, and he hasn't heard from any teams. However, the player is confident that offers will come once he's healthy again.
There's definitely some uncertainty surrounding his future in the NHL, but he hopes to get a chance to prove himself.
