Nice additions by Bryan Murray in Ottawa with Andy Sutton today and Matt Cullen before the Olympics. Watch out Buffalo.

seaway, for every good thing someone publishes on twitter about sutton, I can find 2 bad things about him. i dont even want to play that game. i will wait for you to form your own opinion when you watch the sloth play.

Whatever happens, we're gonna be pretty fun to watch with Cullen and Sutton (especially Cullen once he gets going). Let's see how far this wave can go!

It would be a complete disaster for about 20 seconds until one of them goes to the box and the other team scores on the pp. so yeah, it is the worst idea ever. amateur hour is upon us.

a -3 on the islanders isn't so bad This is a great pick up and our team is now set.

It's a solid pickup, I would be careful saying great. THis gives Murray and CLouston a lot of different options and defently added toughness.

Adding Cullen and Sutton for 2nd rounders to take a legit shot at the conferance... why not. Those are late 2nd rounders too.

Proof? From credible sources? No one seems to hate this deal other thn you.

You're allowed your opinion, as wrong as it may be.

Every single analyst, GM, player, or writter with LEGIT connections to The NHL and the organizations like Sutton and what The Sens got. Dont encourage him to post, it just brings the site down along with the conversation.

That's fine. I'll do just that since I confess I really haven't noticed him since he was taking bonehead penalties and playing one of the dirtiest games in the NHL for Atlanta.

People expecting something other then depth moves at the deadline are mental, teams that usually do that do not win.

Murray added 2 guys while subtracting 1 player in Picard and not giving up a single prospect, even Lee and O'Brien. He traded 2 late, 2nd round picks... he's hit 2 home runs with their 2nds the last 2 years plus another in Silvferberg who will 100% be an NHL player. Oh well, Murray is going for it without hurting the depth of the organization or disrupting the room.

Touche! Everything you read about Sutton is that he's a beast and a superb guy to have in the room. Listening to his comments about coming here is extremely encouraging and let's face it, Clouston has a gift of getting everything and more out of players.

Exactly. You add character, toughness, expierence, and a cup right with Cullen for what? Basically nothing. Ottawa is still going to get a good player in the 1st round this year (a forward I hope) so people shouldnt be too upset. Ottawa has a ton of depth so dont worry about 2, late 2nd round picks.

Are you pleased with this acquisition? I assume so, this seems like an SSF style player for sure.

I will say this though, a 1st round exit would be a disaster at this point. This team has a ton of character though and a ton of depth.

I'm pleased with both Cullen and Sutton. They both give us added trade options as well as lineup flexibility.

I'm not kidding myself either, but Sutton is a tough hombre and that's good enough for me on a playoff team. (Just like Cheechoo would have been, by the way).

Sutton is as tough as they come. Guys on the ice are always guessing when he's out there. He punishes guys with the best in the legaue.

Stempniaksen, this is for you. I just did a quick scan of twitter and didnt go to far back.

mirtle - bet every team has a line theyre DYING to get out against the SS Andy Sutton

JaspersRink - Stay away from Sutton unless you enjoy watching guys score back door on your goalie.

BenThrashers - The thing about Sutton is he can tell you exactly how many hits and blocked shots he has. he chases them over good D play

and if you dont know who these guys are, I can't help you. they watch hockey 24/7 and have press credentials for their respective teams, something no one on this site has. I am probably the closest to having that on this site.

I feel the same way about Volchenkov alot of the time but the overall results are pretty positive. We shall see. Just not tonight!

yep, that is all i have been saying, you shall see for yourself soon enough. i would laugh even harder if he has an amazing first game and everyone on here changes their first borns name to Andy only to watch the next 4 games go to hell.

Guys that watch hockey 24/7... haha, nope, dont know who they are. Ill go with the guys like Murray, Snow, Lebrun, MSG analyst's, TSN panal's, so on.

They have press crednetials because no one else covers their teams. An ignorant blogger is better then nothing I guess when you're The Thrashers.

not to mention his whole career of 10 games of playoff experience to draw from. In those 10 games of experience...wait for it...wait for it...1 assist..........and 35 penalty minutes.

what an asset, or should I say Donkey!!!!!!!!
