Sullivan gots to go!
As a "young wing" with an eye having a long, productive, lucrative career, Chicago would be my second or third to last choice among NHL franchises, which is the same conclusion Morin, Pirri and, allegedly, Jimmy Hayes came to when they asked out without any control over where they'd be going.
So, yes. Pittsburgh would be preferable. As would Phoenix, San Jose, Boston, Vancouver and twenty other clubs.
Not choosing Pittsburgh isn't nearly as weird as choosing Chicago, fourth line minutes and, on the next contract, fourth line pay. Better to take a VP track job with Jed's Flowers than a data entry clerk position at Google that has slim to zero possibility of advancement.
Yes, because Pittsburgh is the bastion of career advancement for today's young NHLer.
Give me a break, bb.
What you're talking about is, IN THEORY, this would be as desirable as any place in the NHL for a young winger to choose.
But reality bites my friend.
