EDMONTON, AB -Before Jesse Puljujarvi and Kailer Yamamoto were assigned to the American Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors on Saturday, Oilers Head Coach Todd McLellan was asked about the Finnish forward.
"He's in the same arc as Yamo or Bouch," McLellan said. "Just because you've been in the League now for a few years doesn't take you out of that; you're still a young player."
