Potential PTOs

I dont see Kessel due to the reason he demanded out was conflict with Sully
Parise maybe, but he is beyond the back half of his career and on borrowed time only bright spot would be he isn't getting paid 3.125 mil like Carter.
Puljujarvi is a definite imo just would need to get a contract figured out before other teams swoop in
Pysyk is extremely high risk coming off an Achilles injury as those are never easy to return from just ask Pacioretty.

Good takes. I forgot about how kessel asked out so he probably isn't an option. I think we should PTO Pysyk before signing him. Just to make sure he can still skate and play without any issues with his ankle

IMO give Puljujarvi somewhere between 1-1.2 as an actual contract that is maj. incentive laden (Basiacally bonus driven) and play him L1 or L2 and bump everyone down accordingly (I believe L1 would be best so that he isn't as counted on defensively plus Sid finds a way to elevate players put on his line with him and Jake)

Agreed I just would be very timid about what to offer him given that injury is not easy to bounce back from

It's a shame about Pulj hip surgery because I would actually love to give him a shot on this team. Let him do the dirty work on Malkin's line. If he can't hang worst case scenario you have a good 4th liner.
