Cullen Denies Trade Talk
13th July, 2007 - 8:06 am
New York Post - The story sweeping the hockey underground is that Matt Cullen has told the Rangers he would welcome a trade after spending one year on Broadway.

Problem with the tale is, that's news to Cullen, who has three years at $2.85 million remaining on the free-agent contract he signed last summer with the Blueshirts following a 2006 Stanley Cup victory in Carolina.

"I haven't said anything of the sort to anyone," Cullen told The Post by phone yesterday from Nashville, Tenn., where he is appearing at an NHL charity event. "I haven't asked to be traded, I haven't said that I'd like to be traded, and I don't want to be traded.

"I guess like everyone else, when we signed [Scott Gomez and Chris Drury], I wondered about the (salary) cap situation and whether there'd be room to keep everyone, but from what I'm told, there is space.

"I've been hearing my name lately in rumors, but none of it is coming from me. I'm excited about the team. I want to be a part of it." [READ]
