I wonder if they will trade Kulak before arbitration. Perhaps not likely at first glance, but
1) Andersson+stone gives me more confidence than Andersson+Kulak
2) valimaki not far behind
3) can't walk away from arbitration award with Kulak
4) arbitration award could be significant and give the flames cap problems
I'd be curious if the flames could get a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him. Also potentially flip Kulak+Stone for a 3rd pairing defenseman that makes a little less.
