by from on (#1M7S0)
The Edmonton Oilers have locked up first-round draft pick Jesse Puljujarvi to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Wednesday.
Puljujarvi was selected fourth overall in June's draft after recording 28 points in 50 games in the Finnish Elite League, as well as earning a gold medal at the World Junior Chmapionship in January.
The 18-year-old winger was left out of Oilers development camp to rehab a knee injury, but is expected to crack Edmonton's lineup come October.
