Thing is James Neal would not be effective if he had Cullen as his center. Sprong's skill set is greatly amplifyed if he has someone on his line that is a danger to do something thus giving him a little bit more space/time. It was only ONE shift and it was by accident/circumstance. But Sprong/Malkin seemed to have instant chemistry. I do not understand Sully at all. If you are getting blown out in a game, try Sprong with Malkin (for example), set yourself up down the road to see if anything is there or if it was just one shift. Right now we really don't know what we have in Sprong. We do need the points, but I dont get how a few shifts here and there trying something other then things that didn't work before is gonna hurt. Why not try Sprong/Sid/Simon even? That did work for a game or two before it petered out. Sprong and Simon seem to click as well, Sullivan's refusal to try anything different will ultimately get him fired unless Murray goes into god mode.
