After scoring a goal in his first game with the Wild, and adding an assist the next game, fans were ready to jump on board the Sully train. The number of warning lights coming in from fans of former teams was enough to keep the crew here at Hockey Wilderness from buying in too hard.
Eventually, the floating, the disinterest, the lack of emotion, and the laziness in the defensive zone all came back. And with that, Sully catches a ride on the waiver wire for the 962nd time in his career. I don't know of too many teams lining up to pluck him this time, though anything is possible. My bet is Ms. Conduct gets her Sully back.
One thing this does, which is a positive, is if claimed or assigned to Houston, O'Sullivan's $600K salary comes off the books. This is a very good thing if the Wild plan to make moves at the deadline to bring in help. Even if the Wild are sellers at the deadline, the space is good for flexibility with any moves the Wild do make.
So. See you later, Sully. We will forever miss your... oh, who am I kidding? Enjoy the AHL, champ.
