HF Sportsbook has been reset for the new season - Click here to play.
From Taylor on the PP practice today:
Top unit: Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust
Second unit: Matt Grzelcyk, Rickard Rakell, Lars Eller, Kevin Hayes, Jesse Puljujarvi
Puljujarvi working with the second unit and Valtteri Puustinen just observing from the neutral zone suggests the fourth line is Hayes-Noel Acciari-Puljujarvi and Puustinen is the odd one out again after playing in Winnipeg.
If this is true I hope Sullivan doesn't destroy Puljujarvi's joy and self confidence. Like I said Puljujarvi's points/60 is the 2nd best of the team and it seemed him and Eller had chemistry so why not place him to the 3rd line if Sullivan doesn't want him with Malkin.

I don't read DK because I imagine it gets him money. But thanks. Glad that Sully hasn't done something stupid like that yet.

There will be "I told you so's" Bet on it
Sullivan will absolutely do his best to destroy Pulujarvi; he's a petty man. This points to the GM bringing in JP after first discussing with Sullivan and overruling his request not to sign JP. Sully is poison. This franchise will deserve to be a dumpster fire that they will become for keeping HC Meathead.
Couldn't like this as I'm an outsider and can't say you deserve to be a dumpster fire, but it does seem it would be time to finally move on from Sullivan.
It's not the end of the world, but as Puljujarvi's supporter it's a shame to see such a promising start of the season (still clearly the 2nd best points/60) but him now playing less than 10 minutes in the 4th line.
I am pretty sure sooner or later Sullivan manages to break him if this goes on. I hate to bring the nationality card, but many of you guys have written Sullivan has a problem with European players so it'll be interesting to see how this develops.

He was put on Malkin's line for a game and the game was terrible (not necessarily because of that) so they changed the lines back.

When Puljujärvi plays good, don't break his line up. It's not easy to find a good surrounding for that smiler

He shared that role with Hyman in the Oilers for a long while and posted similar numbers, maybe even a bit better ones, but then that spot was given to Hyman and Puljujarvi was pretty much dropped out as the 2nd unit didn't get barely any PP time in the Oilers. Small sample sizes, but most of the times he had good /60 PP numbers, especially PP goals/60.

Lol.
Maybe Sullivan gets fired tonight and JP has fair chance.
Otherwise, hope he gets traded literally anywhere else where he gets his minutes. This guy deserves it.
