lol sorry I missed all the goings-on this weekend. Frank "Reverse Fountain of Youth" Seravalli going off on Crosby is funny.

Maybe spend more time picking nits with your favorite team's players. I heard one of them was in the news recently for... not-so-great things.

Pfffft... imagine getting that bent over press availability at an event nobody even likes.

Two way is just about money. They can easily send him down with no cap hit. They'll just have to pay him his full salary rather than an AHL salary.

I like the move. I think he fits the Pens' style. He won't be an offensive juggernaut, but he can play up and down the lineup.
Seems like a risk to pay him that much if they have to send him to the A….we’ll see how the hips hold up

If he can reach anywhere near the offensive level he showed a couple years ago he's going to be huge for us. Doubt he will. But worth the dice roll.

It's 50k more than NHL minimum... come on Andy.

People bitch about FSG, but this is where their deep pockets come into play.

As long as he's healthy, I think he can be a great fit on the third line, with a smaller hope of clicking with Geno and being a forechecker/space clearer for him.

While I like the Puljujarvi signing, I'm disappointed they haven't called up Poulin, as well. And it looks like Puustinen is staying down for a little bit.

With Smith healthy, they only have room for 22 players. So 13 forwards and 7 D is reasonable.

But they could have at least sent Harkins down for Poulin.

I was skeptical of the Puljujarvi project at first and I sincerely doubt he's going to be an impact player or anything but after seeing him do so well so quickly down on the farm... can't be mad about that. Eager to see what he can do.

Still dumb that they won't make room for Puus/Poulin or both, though. It's not like this bottom six is anything even close to special, Eller aside.
