DETROIT -- Mike Sullivan has seen enough of Sam Poulin and Nathan Legare to seem confident they are big pieces of the Penguins' future.
He's also seen enough of their flaws to seemingly rule them out of the franchise's short-term plans.
"I think their raw talent has been on display," Sullivan said after the Penguins' 4-2 exhibition loss to the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena Thursday night. "You can see why they got drafted where they did, with some of their natural ability.
"You can also see some of the immaturity in their game, where they need to learn certain details in order to develop a more mature game.
