Had it been Skinner for Jarry, then I think the common view is: change of scenery, see how it goes.
But giving up Kulak (to make the money work) is a pretty significant hit for the Oilers, just because their defense is pretty weak, and they have no one to step up and fill Kulak's boots.
Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Emberson
Stilman - Regula
Stastney
(until Walman is back)
They have 4 NHL defensemen (none of which are any good)
