We promised a second August show, and we delivered! It helps that Minnesota did their part to create buzz by signing hometown hero Matt Cullen to be their fourth-line center. To discuss that and more, Tony sat down with Derek, who you may know as @StateOfStats on Twitter. 

Topics discussed:

• Matt Cullen's signing in Minnesota
• Where Cullen fits in on the depth chart
• Can Cullen succeed outside of Pittsburgh?
• Can he fix the Wild's penalty kill?
• The Wild's forward lineup being set
• Will the Wild give Marcus Foligno 3 years on his next deal?
• Minnesota's surprisingly high showing on Corey Pronman's prospect rankings
• Minnesota's severe lack of prospect death
• Kirill Kaprizov's amazing skill
• Kirill Kaprizov's not-so-amazing chances of coming to North America soon
• Luke Kunin vs. Joel Eriksson Ek
• Jordan Greenway's status as a top prospect
• Re-visiting the Alex Tuch trade
• Summer beers
• What our last meals would be
