How hard must it be for Harkins and Carter to look as bad as they do in a game like this?

Ask @DesertedPenguin he’s the one who lectured me about Puusy being a non-NHL prospect. Everyone who isn’t a homer knows it.
Pretty sure I said that Puustinen's only fit is in a scoring role with significant offensive zone starts, not as a bottom six player in a defensive role. I'll reserve judgement because games like this, while fun, skew perspectives.

Sully has to scratch Harkins and Carter when Nieto and Rust return. If he removes Puusty we should riot

I’d rather have guys in the bottom 6 who can get the puck back (like Pusstinen) and go the other way. Seems crazy, but that’s what I prefer.

I believe Harkins HAS to go down for cap reasons. The fact that Puustinen has a league minimum cap hit should actually help his cause. Harkins makes $75k more.

You said “nobody in the NHL universe considers him a legitimate NHL prospect.”

It’s ok to say you were overzealous and wrong. I wouldn’t know, on account of I’ve never been wrong about anything ever, but I can image what it would be like.
