I couldn’t agree more. This is the longest off-season EVER.

He’s got some pretty good years on his resume. If it’s his best ever, the Pens will see well more than a mere return on the $1.5M investment. I’m starting to wonder whether Shero knows something we don’t about Sullivan. It probably has something to do with their time together in Nashville.

Sullivan’s an interesting case study, being as his career year came BEFORE the lockout. Considering the more trap-friendly style and Sullivan’s lack of size, that seems to be contradictory. But his career year was was 34 goals, 41 assists for 75 points in 81 games for Chicago in 2000-01. (Probably worth pointing out that SS put up 128 points in 126 games the first two years after the lockout, before the big injuries).
If Sullivan can stay healthy enough to play most the year, if he plays first line PP, and if finds chemistry with Crosby and/or Malkin, he ought to have a good year. That’s a lot of “if’s” though, and hope isn’t a plan.
I definitely want SS thinking and talking about a career year, but at this point is he really going be beat 34g 41a? No way. But, Sully definitely could be a great addition for the Pens without hitting those numbers. 20 goals and 50 points would make him about as productive as a winger as Crosby’s had lately, and that seems reasonable, given health holds up.

hahaha!
"Have you ever seen such finesse?"
I always wondered if anyone got that reference. I may have to revise my signature line, given what occured after #jagrwatch.

To be fair, he did say it could be his best year, not his career year. It could have been said meaning that the experience alone would be his best and most rewarding year of his career. Goals and assists aside, providing veteran leadership to a young team could be one of these best things he would have done in his career.
Point is, while I think he is definitely going to help the team, I’m not taking his words as meaning he is going to light the lamp every game and be the catalyst a line needs.
By that count, I’ve had 3 best years.
