Is Kulich a center? He played wing in the AHL, but in Buffalo his has worked his way up to the top 6, and as a C. That means what I’ve saying since preseason is true. The Sabres did not have a legit 1C and 2C on the roster. At least not what a top tier team would have in those positions. Kulich is playing damn good hockey and he can play center or wing so I’m happy with him. How he evolves is to be seen. PS - I’m still in the camp that Tage is not a center. That doesn’t prohibit him from taking the center position upon zone entry, which fulfills the Granato theory that some here cling to. But Tage cannot consistently handle the defensive and puck handling aspects of a true 1C/2C, especially against other teams top lines.

Two years ago they kept Miller and traded Bo Horvat. Not sure if the Canucks have a plan or if they just shoot from the hip. But Rutherford has GM'ed 3 Cup teams so. (?) I recall reading that Rutherford recommended Botterill to TP. Going way back, I remember Rick Martin fired a slap shot at Rutherford (Penguins goalie at the time) and the shot knocked the glove right off of his hand. The puck and the glove laid there behind the goalie, it didn't go in, but was close. The Aud was buzzing by that one. People were talking, laughing, and whispering and the place felt electric. I could not believe it either, another new hero arrived.

I read that too. Seems really strange that one minute you pay EP $11M, and within one year you have this issue with Miller and EP, which leads him to thinking of trading Miller, EP, and Hughes. Makes me wonder if Rutherford is losing it.

Rutherford said he would trade one or both if he thought it improved the team. At some point the NMC kicks in for Pettersson. Not sure when.
