The All-Mike Sullivan Team Draft

[BillyOcean]

We all know Mikey loves his fourth line slop and grinders with no discernable traits. Let's build a team of all Sullivan players from the top down.

Who are you drafting #1 overall?

Bryan Rust.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are glad to take, out of Cleveland, Ohio, number douze, Jansen Harkins.

To be fair, Porter isn't appropriate to have on there. He only played a couple games under Sullivan, broke his arm, and never came back because Sullivan moved on to Sheary, Rust, Wilson, and Kuhnhackl.

Injuries to Dupuis and Porter go way undervalued in the 2016 turnaround.

Actually, upon research, he played a lot more than I thought under Sullivan that year. Nix that.

He played like 30 games under Sullivan and was immediately called up after Sully got hired on the 12th of December.

I edited my reply. I thought he broke his arm in January, not March.

Still, once he was gone, he was gone. He got two games in 17 but that was largely it.

Write in: ZAR

He lives on like an effigy leading players like Noel Acciari, Garrett Wilson, Mark Jankowski through the flames.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Sully fires up the Delorean and uses his first 2 picks on 18 year old Mike Sullivan and Dan Bylsma.

 

[BillyOcean]

Write in: ZAR

Yeesh. How'd I forget adding him

 

[WickedWrister]

Simon, ZAR, Carter Rowney got 71 games as a Penguin lol

Ruhwedel was actually a decent 6th/7th Dman during his mid to late 20's and won a cup here so I'll give him some grace. Just overstayed his welcome by about 4-5 years.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Jansen Harkins' time with this team was brief but his Sully light shined brightly, indeed.

 

[Andy99]

Yeah I’m going with Rust too… as much as he loves the plugs, he more loves overrated try-hard guys with speed who can generate a little offense

 

[Icarium]

I am still amazed we hadn't gotten ZAR back. Maybe Sully is still surly that he left in the first place, talk about betrayal of everything you hold dear.

 

[BillyOcean]

Lot of great names I completely forgot in here. Thanks boys. For what it's worth, I made this thread in a Sheetz parking lot which I'm really surprised hasnt been shut down by yohe or Rossi devouring it whole.

I'll be sure to add all these names next poll, including 57 year old Jeff Carter.

I think Gurgs joke was that rust IS just a fourth liner

 

[Andy99]

He’s definitely a third liner on a lot of other teams

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Real answer is Rust.

But I'll go with Jansen "Sneaky Good Shot" Harkins.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Where is the obligatory father/son picture of Harkins and Sullivan?

The one where it looks like Mike just coached his first game with his son on the top line and he ALMOST scored a goal so they are going out for ice creams and Chowder Bitez or whatever it is that Boston people eat IDK.

Dunkin. Shitty stale donuts and burnt to f*** coffee.

WTF does anyone even see in Dunkin? Their coffee tastes like it has been on the burner since roughly the Paleozoic era and their donuts are what I would imagine trying to eat a mummy would be like.

If I wanted a food item that I could use to sand down a f***ing 2x4 then I'd just go to Subway and ask for some of their bread.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Rust is a top6 wing. Any other opinion is galaxy-brained or driven by the barren dark, gray place Pen’s fandom has led us to.

 

[Pancakes]

I'm going to put together a lineup that we (Mike Sullivan and assistant coaches Mike Sullivan and David Quinn) think gives us the best chance to win:

Kunitz-Crosby-Rust
ZAR-Carter-Zucker
Nieto-Acciari-Tanev
Harkins-Boyle-McGinn

Dumoulin-Letang
JJ-Ruhwedel
Shea-Hainsey


Murray
Ned

scratches: Evgeni Malkin (has to stop looping in the defensive zone), Valterri Puustinen, Hagelin (we like his game but Haggy needs to play more North/South to stay in the lineup)
