With Moorhead’s own Matt Cullen now officially back in the fold with the Minnesota Wild, questions have come in hot and heavy on just how much salary cap space is left and where does he fit into this line-up?

The NHL salary cap ceiling is set at $75 million for the upcoming 2017-18 season. That extra $3 million over last season comes into play and helped the Wild make an offer to Cullen.

If you remember, Matt Cullen was a cap casualty in the summer of 2013 when the Wild were up against the ceiling.
