Why are so many pens fans so high on hinostroza? I understand he’s fast and all, but 2 in 26 games games last year… how does that result in top line minutes? Meanwhile a skilled younger guy like puustinen with upside is scratched…

Drew O'Connor must have worked really hard this offseason on faceoffs to earn that 3rd line center spot. Lots wrong with this projected lineup.

It’s his natural position, he and poulin both… I’d like to see both get a shot at the 3 or 4 centre at some point this year

I’m not high in Vinnie, it’s just someone to do the puck retrieval for the playmaker Sid and the sniper rust. If puustinen was on the top line rust would have to be the main puck retrieval guy. Also puustinen has been fairly inconsistent in WBS, so he does need to show more to justify the hype he’s gotten.
—See sully’s comment tdy in the media scrum to back that up

According to HocketDB O'Connor is a natural LW n Poulin is a natural RW. I've been wrong before so who knows.
