Nothing changes until Sullivan gets fired. Who cares
I want to see Puustinen and Puljujärvi on Malkins wings. Malkin started to producing with Puustinen and Puustinen looked really good with him. Keep this duo and find a 3rd player for this guy. For me its Puljujärvi.
I still think a line of doc-eller-PJ gives us a better chance for something solid. Our two 5 million dollar scoring wingers should be next to Malkin. The doc-eller-big z line was a force and often shifted momentum for the positive. PJ seems like a more physical zohorna with a good 200 foot game. I just think this is where we can find success and stability in the middle of our line up.
I feel like it could work with a speed player, the problem is I don't think we have one. I never really see Rakell skate hard to loose pucks; almost like he's not around them. But Jesse can work the boards and corners, Malkin is creative enough with the puck that they can make it work. I would just worry about transitions. A net presence, as with so many other units on the team, would work wonders with these two. Alternatively, they could just trade for a responsible defenseman like THE ONE MAN OFFENSE DESTROYER NOAH HANIFIN
Can they get Puljujarvi a helmet that fits? lol Looks like the one they gave him is 2 sizes too small.
I hope somebody tells JP18 to quit trying to lick his nose. its pretty disgusting.
NO ! SEVERE TOUGHNESS REQUIRED AND THE PENS HAVE NONE .
I want to see Poulin up with Malkin!!!
