There's never an opportunity to make this team with Sullivan, man. They keep the bottom-6 stocked to the gills with dogshit journeymen year after year. Puljujarvi's outplayed everyone in the bottom-6 (and some in the top-6) by miles in the minimal opportunity he's been given and he can't land a constant spot in the lineup. /shrug

Though someone mentioned Puljujarvi might be getting a ton of rest time because of his recent hip surgeries so, I dunno. Maybe they're just taking it easy and he'll be getting a permanent spot next year. But that's firmly in the "believe it when I see it" folder.

That's true it would require Dubas to resist giving Mike Sullivan 100 Matt Nietos to play with

Yeah, he's pretty much a Minnesotan.


Anyway, back to Hallander. In my viewings of him in the AHL he was basically a mix of Hagelin/Hornqvist. Worse at their primary/defining skills, but had better hands.

That's what a writer said about him before he came over. I didn't see any hint of that when he got the couple of NHL games.

I wrote him off so I haven't been keeping up on him. Has his game changed in the SHL?
