It sure looked like Sullivan did not want Puljujarvi to have success, taking any excuse to make his role smaller and smaller, all the way down to AHL. When he played well he was never rewarded with more ice-time or better linemates, and when he played mediocre he was always punished hard. He was not from Boston.

I honestly think the biggest reason that Sullivan didn't like Puljujarvi is he can't pk.

But it's a stupid reason not to like him because with his speed and his stick reach he could have been trained to be a good pker and probably even someone who would be dangerous shorthanded with his speed. The Pens never tried to develop him that way and thus wasted him as a player.

I don’t see us trading Rust or Rakell. You do that and Sid is on an island, and he’ll be sitting on like 9 goals and a -39 rating by this time next year begging for a trade or a rope.

Where do you think he'll sign for next season?

My guess is a PTO with an NHL team and when that probably does not work out he'll end up playing in Sweden.

Idea. How bad is Seth Jones, really? Bad bad, or just overpaid a few million. The Pens are going to have loads of cap space, but I'm not sure they'll be able to spend it well in UFA. Marner and Rantanen probably aren't coming to Pittsburgh willingly unless maybe it's on a short term deal with the hopes to cash in on a higher cap later.

What if we dealt Graves to Chicago for Seth Jones? Change of scenery for both. We take on more cap but get a guy who could actually play top four with us.

I'm basically looking for the Pens version of the PLD for Kuemper deal. Take on an overpaid player but dump one that has no future with us for a net win.

Id flip Karlsson for Jones. Karlsson is more easier to trade for immediate assets for them. Pens hope Jones turns it around here. They arent moving Jones for Graves.
