While Dust is out, I think they should have gone
DOC-Sid-Rakell
Bunting-G-Puustinen
And sat Beau…Puusty has played pretty well previously with Geno…worth a shot
While I agree, a part of me wants Puustinen with Sid just to see how that would look because I still think this team needs to move Rust to get some good assets as well as cap space they can weaponize at the TDL. Also I think Puustinen's hockey IQ could work with Sid & Geno and while Rust is out, it's a good opportunity to see if Puustinen would work with Sid because we already know he does with Geno and keeping Raks there with Bunts and Geno would be fine then.
To have Beauvillier as a RW on that line is just dumb imo.
Let's just remember in pre-season he was was with Sid and really didn't produce anything significant on his actual strong side and now he's on his off wing hoping for a miracle? The fact that Beauvillier is in over Puustinen shows there's no real accountability for camp and pre-season at all, if you're a vet, you're already ahead.
