Puustinen, Johnstone, Gruden up. Nylander, Koppanen down.

Bottom six is gonna look very different tonight in Florida…

Won’t make any difference whatsoever
Can’t be any worse. Nylander in particular just looks listless. I don’t get how him and William are related when you watch the “give a shit” quotient between the two guys
What about Sullivan and Reirden?
yay puusty!
This should get that PP going.
WTF is going on? They’ve got 4 days when they get back- why is today the day to call 3 guys down to Miami from Wilkesbarre toplay tonight? Is this really Sully’s last effort to avoid what might be the inevitable? I would assume just play the same squad while you’re in FL. Not complaining, just confused.
Raiders legend John Gruden got called up? Hell YEAH

One nice thing about this shakeup is that the bottom 6 is going to be a completely unknown entity. Maybe they can make something of that?
Just remembered Hextall traded Nylander for Lafferty one for one lol
Anyway sounds like they’re trying to get gritter and harder to play against with the additions of Gruden & Johnstone, really hope Puusty gets the same top 6 opportunities that Nylander got
Dear sweet Christ someone score a fucking goal

Put Malkin on the second PP unit and send a message. It’s not working Sullivan change something
