When Lizotte comes back you won't be covering it waiving Puustinen, or Puljujarvi or simply sending down McGroarty.
Nedeljkovic is week-to-week. He's going on LTIR because he'd be able to be back by the end of the month because the Penguins will play 10 games in the first three weeks. LTIR requires missing at least either 10 games or 24 days.

I have no problem with Brunicke getting an extended look. He looked very poised and in control on both sides of the ice. If he either shits the bed or doesn't get any ice time, then he can go back to the 'W'. It's a learning experience either way.

And also an opportunity to raise his value. 2nd round pick RD that is already at least sniffing the NHL will raise some eyebrows.

This is my fear…McG isn’t as good an offensive,player as Michkov but this is the philosophy I hate from coaches…let him find his offensive game and play him in the top six…not interested in having him focus on defense on a third line Sullivan deploys as primarily a defensive line…we have so little scoring as it is

The worst part is Sullivan is the exact same as Torts but he isn't outwardly a wanker about it so he gets away with it and no one seems to question his shitty usage for players.

I wouldn't mind a Sprong for Pettersson type deal for Poulin. Would be nice to have a young LD to potentially push Graves out of the lineup
A 47yr old Mark Eaton could push Graves out of the f***ing line up.

You mean Pickering? Id take another though, to push Graves AND Grelzyk out.
I thought Grzelcyk would be ok but jeez. I have been super underwhelmed by his showing in the preseason games.

He's definitely a bloke Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum on the coaching staff wanted though. I wonder if maybe they'll try him with EK and go Petts with Letang.

I think Gryz will be a roller coaster for us. Going to be plays he makes that will impress us and then also drive us insane. I do worry about a Gryz letang pairing. They will have some games that look brutal

It'll be similar to another Beantown reject Sullivan wanted - Matt No-Funwick.

He always struck me as deadline trade bait. He's going to be some contender's #5 for a 3rd rounder.
