Sulliman was a consistently solid player throughout his career, especially while a Devil. He had won some prestigious awards for
the team, like the Fan Club MVP and the Player's Player award, as well as being the Devils' nominee for the Masterton Award
in 1987.
A few injuries had caused Sulliman to miss a substantial amount of games in 87-88. Also, with some shifting around of players
to his position (Aaron Broten and Mark Johnson), and the emergence of Pat Conacher, there was times where Sulliman saw
time on the fourth line that season.
He would finish his career with the Flyers. Not by his choice, though; a knee injury caused him to retire during the 89-90 season.
He first went into coaching the season after, and did so with the Devils, serving as an assistant for 3 seasons. He then took a job
on Wall Street for 11 years, and followed that with a 5-year stint with an insurance company. He wasn't away from the game
ALL that time, though; he served as the Devils' colorman for the 95-96 season.
He was hired as an assistant coach again during the summer of 2008, this time by his brother-in-law Don Maloney and the
Phoenix Coyotes.
