2024 Fantasy Outlook
It will be perhaps the most important training camp of Puustinen's professional career, as he is in line for a full-time NHL role and could even challenge for a top-six role. The Penguins haven't significantly overhauled their forward complement - adding Anthony Beauvillier while trading away Reilly Smith - which means there will be openings in the top six up for grabs. In his 52 games for Pittsburgh last year, Puustinen tallied five goals and 15 assists, including two power-play points. With a full season under his belt and, perhaps an expanded role, Puustinen could be a sneaky late-round fantasy add with a strong offensive upside. Read Past Outlooks

Puustinen inked a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Penguins on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Puustinen saw action in 52 games for Pittsburgh this year, generating five goals and 15 assists. With a new deal in hand, the 24-year-old winger should be in contention for a bottom-six role heading into the 2024-25 campaign. If he can play regular minutes at the NHL level, Puustinen could be capable of challenging for the 30-point threshold next year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Joining Finnish national team
RWPittsburgh Penguins
April 29, 2024
Puustinen will link up with Finland for the Euro Hockey Tour, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Puustinen will join the national team for what is essentially a pre-World Championship tuneup, which could clear the way for him to suit up in that competition as well. In his final game of the regular season, Puustinen was able to bring a 14-game goal drought to a close. Overall, the 24-year-old winger put together a solid rookie campaign in which he notched five goals and 15 assists in 52 contests.
