I don't think Puljujarvi will be back in a Penguins uniform. He'll either be traded as part of a larger deal to balance out contracts or finish out the season in WBS now that he's officially headed there.

The big reason I'm skeptical about this "WBS players are coming soon" idea is that Sullivan will only play them in specific roles so the spots to be potentially opened are fairly small. Just trading O'Connor and Beauvillier isn't going to open up the spots for young guys if Sullivan is still going to force Glass to 2RW or Hayes to 3C.

They'll call up McGroarty to be the 3rd line LW and maybe give Bemstrom a shot on L3. I see no reason to believe this team would do more than that because they haven't shown they're willing to do more than that.

Yeah it would be easier if we weren't already flush with NHL players and have dealt with few injuries. In years past, we typically see WBS guys come up to cover for injuries but we've been pretty lucky this year on that front. Not saying I'm hoping for injuries but if guys like Nieto and Acciari and a Beauvillier go down, and they trade a couple guys, we could see more guys up.

Emp, do you recall that recent article that talked about Puljujarvi but the guy actually took the time to discuss the roster construction? Any idea who that was or where to find that article again?
 
I saw this from Yohe. Don't shoot the messenger. :dunno:

They will call up Bemstrom and Koppanen and Puustinen and move Graves into the line up.
