“Pittsburgh” signed a two-year contract with the Finnish striker Jesse Puljujarvi reports the NHL press service.
Over two seasons, the 25-year-old forward will earn $1.6 million, with the average annual salary being $800,000.
The fourth overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft became an unrestricted free agent this offseason when Carolina did not extend him a qualifying offer. He had hip surgery this summer.
In December, the forward signed a tryout contract with Pittsburgh. In the 2023/24 season, the hockey player scored 9 (4+5) points in 13 matches for the Penguins farm club in the AHL.
As a member of the Finnish youth and youth national teams, Puljujarvi became world champion in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
