NHL Rumors: Cullen, Blue Jackets and Wild

Michael Russo of the Star Tribune: 40-year old Matt Cullen’s playing days could be coming to an end very soon. The Penguins are one win away from another Stanley Cup and it might be the perfect ending to his 19-year NHL career.

“I’m aware of the fact that I’m 40 years old,” Cullen said. “Time’s ticking. It’s weird. I don’t feel like an old player. The game keeps you feeling young. But I look around, and I understand I’m a lot older than everybody else.”

Cullen will give the decision to retire or not some time and will discuss with his family.
