He is basically Drew O'Connor game wise, but has put up 10+ goals multiple times.

That’s a little disappointing TBH sounds like if he wasn’t a 4th overall pick he wouldn’t be getting this opportunity.
His last season was very disappointing, but in the prior seasons he scored 14 goals in 65 games and 15 goals in 55 games. I think that's pretty good for 15 minutes per game and not very much PP time.
I had huge expectations so it still wasn't quite there and I guess one needs to earn his time in top 6.
However, he scored goals quite nicely after his first hip operation in the season 2020-2021 when he scored ES goals at an even higher rate than Draisaitl while playing a big part of the season in bottom 6.
Of course someone always reads these in a wrong way so I emphasise the two players can't be compared in any possible way, that'd be just stupid, but it just shows that if he can play at that level also after this operation he could probably be a pretty productive NHL player.
The difference is last time he got to put himself in condition by playing in the FEL first so I don't know how fast he catches up now or if there even is a chance to do it in the NHL this year.

Pool party might just say “nah, I’m good” and go back home.

I dislike that anytime I go to type his name I have to double check his spelling.

Seems like he isn't game ready. Kind of surprising as what the heck was he expecting!
It may be good for him (his career) to follow the Penguins rehab/training process and practice, even without a contract. Assuming he's willing.
Alternative is to sign him cheap, and put him on LTIR.

He's extremely good defensively. That never gets mentioned. Something like Eller level in that regard.
So he should be able to at least contribute that way.
Considering the PK went like 50% in the absence of Acciari and Nieto, I kinda welcome it.
I have zero expectations with his scoring in a bottom-six, heavy defensive role.

So what you’re saying is, Mike Sullivan is going to glue him into the top 6?

I can see you're picking up what I'm putting down.

Sully wants him to play the right way so he’s getting reps in the video room. He’s watching Mike Sullivan highlight vids on YouTube.
Supposedly he’s been found with this video playing on repeat in secret…

Guys can stay on a PTO for extended periods. Heinen was on a PTO with Boston for like the first two months of the season.
But they only get paid for 10 days. I think they can break those up, but I'm not sure.

"Jesse, we're gonna need you to go ahead and move your locker down to storage B. So if you could just pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be great."

The Global Hangman wishes he could be
Sully mentioned that he was still working out with the team. Other than that stated nothing.
