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.
That's actually been Puustinen's documented weakness - winning puck battles, puck retrieval, getting the puck back and out of the zone.

I'm willing to give him the opportunity to show that he can be the offensive thread on a smart, defensive conscious third line, but I also don't want him sitting on the fourth line with just 8 minutes a game.
