I see why both make sense, but I think he picked the one least likely to succeed and with that has painted himself into a corner.

Now the arbitrator will come in midpoint (especially with waivers) and his client will be neither a) above the AHL line or b) cheaper than Valimaki

That's a mistake in my mind.

Yeah, if I'm Kulak, I'm looking for a new agent. All he's done is hurt Kulak's relationship with the team and damage his chances of playing 82 NHL games this season.
