Go beat the Oilers, Brett

[GioforPM]

I hope Pitt gets a nice return just to make the Skinner-Jarry trade worse for Edmonton

I liked Kulak quite a bit as a Flame. Then when he went to the Canadiens, I was impressed that he managed to carve out a career as a full time NHLer.

Then he made the huge mistake of going to the Oilers. Nearly unforgiveable, especially being part of two teams that went to the cup finals. However, Kulak was one of the few Oilers I didn't outright hate, but that hate lessened when he was shipped off to the Penguins in a trade that made the Oilers worse overall.

He now has a chance to finish the job by being part of the team that will likely block the path for the Oilers to reach the cup final again this year. I wish him all the best in this endeavor.

Got to be a bigger deal than just that.

[ComixZone]

Holy.

Haha Edmonton.

Avs clearing substantial cap space here while also making a reasonable stylistic change

I think the shine is off Girard. He's been seen as a bit of a liability defensively the last couple of seasons and he's a bit small for a defensemen (not built for playoff hockey). The only reason it's surprising is because Kulak is much older and has less intrinsic value.

It is much just Curtis lazar now. I can't hate ol' smiley.

Girard $5M

Kulak $2.75M

Avs making space

[ComixZone]

Brings Avs cap space into that $5M range...

Hello Naz (w/ some retention).

[Strange Brew]

Making space for Kadri or Coleman?

[sureLoss]

Big time win for Kyle Dubas in terms of asset managment

Avs adding a 2nd-round pick as a sweetener for the Pens to swallow the cap hit. Nice deal by the Pens

[devo22]

Pens making some shrewd moves lately.

I'd rather see a contract back. Colton maybe.

[sureLoss]

Stuart Skinner + Girard + 2028 2nd + 2029 2nd for Jarry and Poulin

[topfiverecords]

Oilers pay Kulak and a 2nd to swap Skinner for Jarry. Pens get a 2nd and Girard for Kulak. Hahaha

[traptor]

That is some tidy work by the penguins.


That's how you wwaponoze cap space.


Wish the Flames could have been in in this.
