What Cirelli essentially does is make Backlund expendable. Monahan/Cirelli 1/2 punch is really good, and I think the complaints about Monahan would go away with Cirelli hitting the ice the shift after. That would be a lot for opposing teams to deal with. Cirelli brings the 'pain in the ass to play against' factor that Backlund doesn't, without losing the defensive accumen.
Can't believe tampa stumbled into Point and now Cirelli when no one was looking.
