Fixed that for you.

Career .4 ppg doesn't really line up with "hasn't made a tangible contribution", particularly for a bottom 6 guy. Compared to Puljujarvi @ .34 ppg with much more time with Top 6.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a look, but honestly they both should be up over Harkins and White.
Why, White has similar pedigree in the NHL draft and was highly coveted, is still only 26 years old even though it seems hes been around forever, and has had some success in the NHL. I am fine with White getting a look.

I'm not saying Puljujarvi doesn't deserve a look, I actually really like the signing but he's just getting his feet wet coming back from a pretty significant surgery. If he keeps this up his time will come.

He has the skill and hands to be a goal scorer. Health meaning his hips are the issue. Modern medicine aside, if he is close to what he was before the decline of his hips, then he can be a RW with some size and appears enough mobility to be OK. Worth a shot since guys who are 6-4 200 and have that skill are hard to find.
Don't expect him to be a goalscorer, his shot was probably his biggest weakness before the injury. What I'm expecting is that can be a good grinder with some speed and good enough bottom6 scoring potential if the surgeries didn't take his speed away.. if he gets healthy, he is a upgrade to guys like Harkins, Carter, White. Puustinen as well if he doesn't start to produce again

Before the NHL Puljujarvi had scored goals at a good pace. In the NHL the problem was that he was so streaky. He had a few half seasons when he was scoring goals at a terrific rate, but also a few totally opposite ones.

Neither deserve a look on Geno's wing over Puustinen. White to me is fine on the 3rd line, I would have called up Poulin for the LW on that line. Take your pick at this point, Puljujarvi or White on the 3rd line, but Poulin should. be the LW on that 3rd line while Smith is still out (might be back soon so whatever).

Watching Colin White, I see nothing intriguing out of him like a Harkins but better hands.

Only 26 years old.
I meant that as it seems he's been around a while. When we signed him I thought he was older.

His 1st full season in the NHL he had like 40 points in 70 games. Than he has a shoulder surgery.

All I am saying is that he's shown he can play in the league early in his career. At 26 I'm not going to write him off completely

I suspect we see Poulin at some point soon. I believe his injury early on likey delayed an earlier call up but at the beginning of the season he's definitely a guy a think has a good shot at some success.

Regardless how you feel about Puljujarvi it was a low risk high reward signing as good middle 6 depth for this team. If that hip injury was corrected we might have something

no, I'm not saying don't give him a chance, just laughing that 26 is "young" for this team.

Poulin played October and missed a month but since December he's been fine(Basically all of November). He's been playing well since he rejoined the team.

He has 8 pts in his last 10 games. He's played regularly for a while and has been producing well. He's earned a shot over Harkins and White for a while now.

I had over 100 goals in soccer before I was 10 or some age around that. What are we talking about about?
There was only one short sentence here as part of my reply about his earlier career so I don't know if you can call that "talking about" something :)

Anyway another 1+1 in this game (and he was +3), so it's now 8 points (4+4) and +8 in the last 6 games. I wonder what kind of a deal he has, could he be signed by another NHL team if you don't find use for him? Or does the current contract tie him to you? I wouldn't be surprised if we're getting close to a point where some other teams might be getting interested.

Maybe Pens can trade Nieto at the deadline for a 4th line center so Acciari can shift to wing...

Guentzel Crosby Rust
Smith Malkin Rakell
Poulin Eller Puljujarvi
O'Connor TRADE Acciari
Carter
