One thing I need to add to all of this. We have some good players in our top 6, not great or elite. Because of this, our bottom 6 needs to have more offensive depth than we currently. We can't consider a 30 point guy an invaluable piece to our success. If he's on the 4th line and producing like that, I'd be ok with it but he often finds himself on the third or even second line and that's way too high for his lack of production. If we had a great top 6, we could absorb some of this lack of offensive punch. With the lineup as it's constructed, I'd prefer more pop than what he currently brings.
I don't necessarily disagree that we could use more depth in our bottom 6, but I don't think that Puljujarvi will provide that given what we've seen of him and the way our team is built currently. I don't think Jarnkrok is immovable or what will make or break our team, but I also think he's better than you're giving him credit for and not someone I'm keen to give up for a lottery ticket.
