Matt Cullen to Ottawa: Our GM Should Be Fired
The fact that Matt Cullen, a solid two way center was dealt to our division rival Ottawa Senators yesterday for what amounts to a 5th/6th defenseman and a 2nd round pick is embarrassing.
Matt Cullen would have been the perfect third line guy to allow TIm Kennedy to fly back to Portland for the rest of the season and solidify the Sabres third line. I would have given up Craig Rivet who in my eyes has become a 5th/6th defenseman and a 2nd rounder in a heartbeat to make that move.
Now Ottawa has their third or second line center and the Sabres sit here as usual claiming patience and all his garbage of chemistry....there is no chemistry.
Matt Cullen would have been a perfect fit, better than Dominic Moore from last year and you could have gotten him for next to nothing. Part ways with a second round pick and an over the hill defenseman this time of year and you might be surprised what a basement dwelling team like the Hurricanes are willing to give up.
Darcy should be fired for not getting on the phone and at the very least planting a seed of doubt into Carolina's mind that they could get slightly more for Cullen. Darcy had to know that there was a deal in the works for Cullen, its been all over the internet now for three days.
Darcy can sit there and say all he wants, that Cullen would not have fit into the Sabres plans or didn't fit into this team. He can say what ever he wants but right now hes got a fragile lockerroom that is getting frustrated whether they say it or not and a coach that Im sure would like to see his GM do something to support a team that needed help a week ago.
There has got to be other players out there of Matt Cullen's stature who could fit in at third line center. Thats our biggest issue right now. Adam Mair is not the answer, Paul Gaustad is not the answer, you need a guy who can balance the scoring with the defense, Gaustad is a lifetime 4th liner, Mair is lucky to be on the team.
Its our GM's job to go out and find the answers for this team so they can stay ahead of a division they had a strangle hold on no more than three weeks ago.
Where is the Darcy Regier who went out and got Doug Gilmour and Donald Audette at the trade deadline? Where is the Darcy Regier that acquired Rhett Warrener for Mike Wilson? And if Im correct turned Rhett Warrener into Chris Drury. Where is the Darcy Regier that turned Chris Gratton into Danny Briere? If he can't then maybe we can go out and get someone who will.
Bob Gainey anyone?
