Quiet little moves like this are so huge, especially if they come relatively early in a season.
On the blueline it looks like Kulak has shaken off a rough camp and has asserted control over the 6th spot on the blueline. If he continues to play like he did against Washington he really adds to the third pairing and makes the Flames a much more balance hockey team to play against.
Bennett shifts over and Jankowski comes up. Jagr comes off the DL and suddenly a new third line is born. With the top two lines humming this could be a real turning point when coupled with the team playing better two way hockey and defense over the last 5 games.
Kulak and Jankowski in October are slight steps up from other options. But what will they be in March if they get to cut their teeth as regular NHLers?
