According to multiple reports, the Penguins have placed Puljujarvi on waivers today for the purpose of mutually bringing an end to his current National Hockey League contract. Puljujarvi was in the second year of a 2 year contract with an average annual value and salary cap hit of $800,000 per season, which does make this a somewhat curious move.

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ experiment with Jesse Puljujarvi is coming to a conclusion. On Saturday, the team placed the right-handed forward on unconditional waivers for the purposes of mutally terminating his contract.
