I have a really hard time believing there wasn't a single player In the system that could have filled in 4th line duties...

Something in my gut says Brassard gets traded. I don't know if he has a fit on this team.

GMJR just spent time blowing smoke up Blueger’s ass last week. Guess a geriatric is still better than him.

We have offered up Brassard, we didn't get any of our targets...and here we are. We have an experienced NHL vet at league min...tough to get upset...

Cullen: "I'm really excited to be coming back. It's a cool opportunity at my age to come back and have another chance at making a run with this team." -SK

Cullen: "I wasn't really expecting anything after I saw (Sheahan signing). Jim called me the next day in the morning and Jim talked to me about the idea of coming back. I'm glad it worked out." -SK

Cullen on last year: "It was a family decision (to go to Minnesota). It was the right thing at the time. Hockey-wise it didn't play out the way that I had hoped. When this opportunity came up it was tough to pass up, a second chance to finish my career in Pittsburgh." -SK

Cullen: "I've been training. At my age if I don't train my decision is made for me. I can't allow myself to get out of condition at age 41. Trying to see how my body goes along and responds to training to know if I could go another year or not. I feel really good." -SK

Cullen: "When the phone rang and it was Pittsburgh it didn't take a lot to decide. I had decided (to come back for another season) before." -SK

Cullen: "There is still a lot of competitiveness in me, and a part of me that wants to prove that I can still play and be a difference maker. My boy and Bridget are more competitive than I am. They know the special situation we have in Pittsburgh for hockey and family." -SK

Cullen on playing LW: "I've played quite a bit of wing over the years. That's something I enjoy is moving around the lineup and filling different spots as the season goes along. I relish that challenge." -SK

I'm a huge fan of letting the young guys play, but getting a solid veteran for this price is not a bad move. Winning faceoffs and killing penalties in the postseason is golden, and the team is in win-now mode, so this move is fine by me.

Yohe had his column for THE ATHLETIC already ready to submit for the last few months probably. This will be an insufferable year. That said, the contract is fine in a vacuum.

I have no problem with Cullen's signing. 4th line guy, brings maturity and stability. And a good leader.

I am not, however, looking forward to all the 'dad' nonsense.

Very much this. I was downvoted to hell on Reddit after supporting "Matt Cullen, NOT DAD, to the Pens". Downvotes I'll gladly accept.

I think there are still moves to come, so I'm not writing off Blueger's chances.

This is a horrible idea, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I was actually think of a filter that changes Dad to f*ckface, but we have real dads here, so.

If you think I have the ability to feel shame for myself you have another thing coming.
