A source close to the team tells me Bylsma has expressed a desire to use Satan in a top six role, most likely on Evgeni Malkin’s Left Wing.
Whether all of this talk is just a smoke screen remains to be seen but it became known in these meetings that if Satan sees the ice, it will be in a top 6 role.
