It's funny... The guy I thought had zero chance of returning is the guy who is now likely to come back. I thought for sure Kunitz would be coming back, not Cullen.

I almost would like to see Cullen take half the season off. Come back in late January.

I can't praise enough Cullen. I really hope he can come back. I Wanted him back more than Kunitz or perhaps Bonino. For $1M you Won't get anyone better. I'd say he's a $2.5-3M center getting payed only $1M because of his age.

Dude, he can't skate. He is gone let it go.

Apparently the Wings and Tatar are not getting along. Should we be interested? Or is that Wings fan who comes on here finally getting to me?

He was the Pens best player in game 6 vs the Preds. Super solid in game 5 too. He just does alot of little things right, things a lot of people dont notice but they add up to helping get W's big time.

I totally want him back again. He still has game to give.

Bonino couldnt skate very well either...Jussi has more skill...

But yes, the fact he is not a Penguin has to be let go.

Tatar is looking for around 6 mill per....Pens will not be acquiring very expensive wingers...

The Sens getting Jean-Gabriel Pageau for 3.1 mill per is amazing value IMO. He would be a perfect 3C for the Pens. Not happening, just saying.

Pshhh, Hagelin went to U of Michigan. The Red Wings would love him just for that reason. Hagelin+1st for Tatar.

Meh. Tatar is a good player but I would struggle with another $5-6M winger....seems unnecessary.

Yeah and a contract like that for a winger would really hurt the team in a few years as well.

I don't see how adding the best transition winger and one of the best 2-way weingers in the NHL to a team built on transitions would hurt the team one bit.

Having a chance to add that with Horny and Cole coming off the book, wouldn't be too bad, depending on what some of the RFAs get paid.

Could work? ?? I dunno.

Don't think that adding one of the best transition players to an already stacked group of forwards that won a cup 2 years in a row because of stacked forwards is a bad idea. Pens are always going to go as far as their forwards take them. The more stacked their forwards are, the better change Pens have of winning.

The overpayment one? hahahah or the offer sheet one? The overpayment one is good. lol

Eller is a UFA after this season (that wasn't for this season, it was for next, when the Pens young guys ELCs were up.)
