Not really. He's useless out there and is dragging everyone around him down.
Bring up Farnham or roll 7 defensemen with Pouliot.
Call up Rust and play Pouliot.

This series is likely a lost cause for the Penguins, but every other team in the East is probably watching this series and licking their chops. The Rangers are barely squeaking by a depleted Pens team that isn't that good even when healthy.
Can't wait to see how they'd do against an actual NHL defense, with actual secondary scoring.
Save your ******** about not even being good when healthy, because the last time the team was healthy was probably a month into the season, so this sort of ******** pisses me off, seriously.
You think we're in this spot if suddenly to start the playoffs we have:
Pascal Dupuis - Top 9 depth
Olli Maatta - Top 4 Defense
Christian Ehrhoff - Top 4 Defense
Kristopher Letang - Top 4 Defense
Derrick Pouliot - Top 4 PMD
You bet your ****ing ass it would change the outlook of this team a great deal. I mean first off we go to this...
Dupuis, Crosby, Hornqvist
Kunitz, Malkin, Perron
Winnik, Sutter, Bennett
Spaling, Lapierre, Comeau
Scratches: Adams, Downie, Wilson...
Martin, Letang
Maatta, Ehrhoff
Cole, Pouliot
Scratches: Scuderi, Dumoulin, Harrington, Lovejoy, and Chorney.
Rangers are barely looking ok against the Penguins without the guys in bold being healthy. That's hilarious, also Fleury has been lights out better than Lundqvist in this round, whomever gets the Rangers next is going to be excited because first...the Rangers won't get beneficial calls because the refs don't hate anyone else more than they hate us.
Geno's back injury must be serious.When was the last time he takes a slapshot?It's really no point to play him right now.
We came out lazy last night, no urgency. Rangers put their foot down from the word go.
For those saying you want to quit watching hockey after the Pens bow out, i'd ask you to watch some of the other 1st round games. Theres some fun hockey out there to be watched. Sucks the MTL and WPG series' are 3-0 cuz they've been really fun to watch.
The ref'ing is still pretty atrocious league wide but you'll get the odd game where they let everything go.
At this point, I really hope Calgary goes all the way. I really like that squad and have for quite some time, but my goodness, they play the brand of hockey I want the Penguins to play.
They finish each and every check, never take their foot off the peddle and when you shove, they shove right back.
something tells me that actually makes you happy
Honestly this season can't end soon enough.
Pens better have a whole new look next season. I would buy out Kunitz, Scuderi, and Dupuis. Try to move Letang. I would also be open to trade anyone not named Crosby, Malkin, Fleury at the draft. Time to get younger, bigger, and faster.
I am actually enjoying watching this team right now. They aren't great, but they are playing a smarter, hard-working game than the Penguins teams we have seen in the last few years. It doesn't piss me off watching them lose to a better team anywhere near as much as when they blew series' that should have been theirs.

My post somehow got lost in the internets... but I'll reiterate:
Dumoulin has exceeded my expectations somewhat - one bright spot of all these injuries is that it forces the Pens to give young guys like him a chance.
It's a shame that he didn't get looks earlier.
I'd play Malkin with 3rd or even 4rd line minutes, since he indeed can be dangerous even if he was a mummified corpse of his grandfather on skates. Roll Sid's, Sutt's and Lap's lines on regular basis.
Winnik-Crosby-Hörnqvist @ 20:00 TOI
Bennett-Sutter-Perron @ 17:00 TOI
Kunitz-Lapierre-Comeau @ 14:00 TOI
Spaling-Malkin-Downie @ 9:00 TOI
Tandem Sid and Geno on special occasions at least once per period, depending on the amount of PK we're inevitable to face.
And when we lose scoring only one goal again how will you feel about Geno getting 9 min TOI? Yeah they're not going to do that.
Pascal Dupuis - Top 9 depth
Olli Maatta - Top 4 Defense
Christian Ehrhoff - Top 4 Defense
Kristopher Letang - Top 4 Defense
Derrick Pouliot - Top 4 PMD
