According to a reporter, the Capitals are interested in the forward.
Signing him would be a low-risk move that could pay well if Puljujarvi finally finds his rhythm in the NHL.
Considering his age and talent, he'd be an intriguing player to try at training camp.
However, he might not be ready to play at the start of the camp.
Just like
Patrick Kane, Puljujarvi underwent double hip surgery this summer.
"Jesse Puljujarvi is working incredibly hard on his hip surgery recovery and it is paying off! Less than 3 months after double hip surgery and he is already skating more freely than before!"
Even if his recovery is going well, he'll likely miss the start of the season.
However, as you can see in the following video, things are encouraging and he seems extremely comfortable on the ice.
