It appears Jesse Puljujarvi wants out of Edmonton.

The 21-year-old has "made it clear" to the Oilers that he'd like to be traded and seeks a fresh start to his young career, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

The Oilers are apparently open to trading Puljujarvi, but want to land a third-line forward in return, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.

Puljujarvi, who's failed to carve out a regular spot in Edmonton's lineup, just completed his entry-level contract and will require a new deal for the start of next season.

He turned heads with his incredible play at the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship - where he helped Finland capture a gold medal - but has mustered just 17 goals and 37 points over 139 contests since being drafted fourth overall by the Oilers in 2016.
