Besides salary, I'm not sure if it really helped Puustinen to make the team. He seems pretty buried from getting a chance. And the guys he beat out are getting a chance to make a further impression by actually playing in the AHL.

I think the writing is on the wall for Eller to be traded by the deadline unless the Pens are miraculously sitting comfortably in a playoff spot. Acciari as well.

Dubas wants his draft picks. Glass, St.Ivany, and McG will have increased roles by January/February. I really like how Glass has been playing. Could definitely see him snagging the 3C spot when Eller is moved

It's not just Eller, there is a long list of potential rentals. Pettersson, Gryz, DOC, Beau, Eller, Pulj, Glass could all be pure rentals.

I'm not as sure Acciari will or can be easily moved. Wouldn't shock me either way, just think there is a big list before him that would go.

Bottom 6 depth guy with a 20 goal season that can kill penalties and play center or wing? He is one do those players that teams go after at the deadline.

I honestly really like Glass for the bottom 6. DOC-Glass-Pulj could make a fun bottom 6 line. But yea, it seems like anyone not named Crosby, Malkin, or Letang is fair game in the trade market.

Accari isn't a rental though, so may not be interest. They couldn't move Eller last year.

Yeah I really don’t think we’ll have a problem moving Acciari if we want. He’s the exact kind of guy GMs love

That's my thoughts too. I'm sure teams would love him as a rental. But with so many teams tight to the cap would they want the second year. Probably if we picked up half. Full amount, I'm not so sure
