Griffith or Cunningham

[Bruins40]

I think Cunningham should be sent down, he hasn't done anything at all. Not that Griffith was amazing but I think he was more effective. Discuss

4th line role? Cunningham. Top 9 fill in? Griffith.

Yep. No question.

I like Griffith but for a 4th line/PK role Cunningham should be here. Combine the fact that Cunningham is:

A 4th year pro (vs. Griffith who is a 2nd year)
Can play all 3 forward positions
Has Claude's trust (by evidence he's been killing penalties)
Must clear waivers to be demoted
Has nothing left to learn at the AHL level

It's a no-brainer. Much more to gain short-term and long-term by having Griffith hone his craft in Providence.

Besides the fact that the guy has a hard working pedigree (not sure about Griffith) Cunningham (beside ALL of the above) hits like a hammer. I like his hunger level.

Thanks. I agree with all your thoughts here.

For the 4th line RW its a no brainer. Cunningham. Griffith would be useless 6mins a game with paille and soup.

Cunningham stays between the two

Really like Griff`s game, needs some work in some areas but year 2 as a pro, hardly a shock. Cunningham has done his job well on the 4th, good quick puck pursuit on the 4th along with Paille

Agreed.

Cunningham brings more on the 4th if it's Gagne they're replacing but if they need top nine or top 6 then Griffith.

Yep.

I like Cunningham's speed and hitting game. In my mind, he should be a permanent fixture on the 4th line moving forward. I also like the idea of having Cunny on one side and Paille on the other. Speed to burn on the wings.
