Salary Cap: Salary Cap & Roster Building | I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet

[BlackAndGold87]

I can see Cullen and a D-man being acquired at the TDL.

 

[Nakawick]

Yes. Recalled today.

I like that.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Cullen can play LW too, not just C. We need a LW every bit as badly as a C imo. So bringing in Cullen gives us flexibility for bringing in either one at the deadline.

 

[mpp9]

Don’t care how bad Cullen’s been with the Wild, I’m confident he has another playoff run in him.

 

[Ryder71]

People can change their minds. Maybe he didn’t choose the wild and it was to please the wife. It’s not working out. JR won’t get a better 4C.

But see, I don't wan't a 4C, Sheahan can fill that spot. I'm hopeful for a quality 3c. We want to accentuate our advantage at center, not stifle it.

what about left wing?

 

[mpp9]

what about left wing?

Cullen’s a 4C. If we’re getting a LW it needs to be a guy we can play on a scoring line. Ideally someone who can carry a third line.

Cullen did a good job every time we moved him to a scoring line the last two years. And he turned a 4th line of guys like Wilson and Kuhn into a decent scoring line.

Getting Cullen doesn’t stop us from getting a quality 3C

 

[Captain Hook]

I love Cullen and would take him back but I do have my concern if he's the center addition. Seems like we'd have two good 4th line centers and not that bonafide #3 that we're looking for.

 

[EightyOne]

I know I've made plenty of personal and professional decisions I've regretted almost instantly.

Lol.

I'd hold no grudge on a player like Cullen.

Would require another addition. Definitely.

I still say he only went to Minn because the wife wanted to move the kids back.

 

[mpp9]

Cullen did a good job every time we moved him to a scoring line the last two years. And he turned a 4th line of guys like Wilson and Kuhn into a decent scoring line.

I’m confident he can turn our 4th line into something decent. But no way do I want him in our top 6.

well it's a good thing we already have our top 6 filled out then.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Yeah 4th line minutes for the old man and as an extra winger at the end of the game if we’ve got a narrow lead

 

[66-30-33]

I still say he only went to Minn because the wife wanted to move the kids back.

It's too bad we can't give him a job in the org when he retires.

 

[mpp9]

well it's a good thing we already have our top 6 filled out then.

We don’t but ok. We have plenty of guys who can play LW in our bottom six. Sheary with Sid is an off and on proposition. And Guentzel with Malkin and Kessel isnt a sure thing.

maybe a scout?

 

[Ogrezilla]

If we can't fill our top 6 wing spots with Sheary, Guentzel, Kessel, Hornqvist, and Rust, we are doing something wrong. Did the loss of Kunitz really drop that group out of forming a Cup caliber top 6?

 

[66-30-33]

maybe a scout?

Would he wanna be a scout? he said he wants to get into the biz after retirement.

I have no idea

 

[Tom Hanks]

We don’t but ok. We have plenty of guys who can play LW in our bottom six. Sheary with Sid is an off and on proposition. And Guentzel with Malkin and Kessel isnt a sure thing.

We have 6 top 9 wingers. I’m still counting Hags for now.

But we have to at a minimum get an upgrade at LW or 3C. Both would be cool but not likely.

 

[Ogrezilla]

am I crazy for thinking Hags is a bigger problem at 3LW than Sheahan is at 3C?

 

[66-30-33]

Nope. Wonder what a Hagelin-Cullen-Sprong 4th line would be like though. Cullen and Hags can cover for Sprongs defensive mistakes.
