Good size. Not as offense oriented as one would like but I think this is just buying an extra farm year contractually for a similar player to Kulak.
Hey another Russian!

Brad has quietly been adding Russians to our system for several years now - I like it
Russia is too big a country with too many hockey players for the Flames to simply ignore. Do I want them spending high picks on Russians, not really. Do I want them to grab a kid like Zavgorodny somewhere between the 5th and 7th each year? Hell yeah.
I'd much rather they do that than waste a pick on a lummox in the hopes that he becomes Chara.

Kulak may be somewhat overpaid but I wouldn't say his salary is outrageous.

Good for Kulak, but I feel we should have gotten more from Montreal for him. We had a few organizational needs (draft picks, back up goaltending) that neither of the players coming back address.
Kulak alone doesn't get it done, but maybe bundled with other assets.
What's that saying about the team that gives up the best player loses the trade? Kulak was the best player in this transaction.
Anyway, wish Kulak the best of luck on his new team. He wasn't spectacular, but I liked his play last year as a #6D. Knew when to jump in on a rush, and got back into position promptly. There was a potential ceiling of a middle pairing D in his future.

Kulak was on waiver twice and was not picked up, as mentioned before, not a player that Tre could get anything much for unless you add to it.

Nice to see them bringing in an AHL ringer for the Heat D core.
I think the Heat might actually be a playoff team this year with the younger guys a year older and some of the other vets they brought in.
Especially if Rasmus plays significant time down there again.

Somewhere Hathaway just breathed a sigh of relief...

Dufus for Dufuses!!!!1!
That said Kulak isn’t a dufus. Much more serviceable 6th than the Flames have had for a while.

Taormina has the highest points/game for a defensemen in the AHL playing over 20 games last season. He was third in points/game the season prior as well, right there with a few high potential NHL defensemen in Christian Djoos and Brandon Montour.
What's the deal with this guy to not make that next jump? Too one dimensional, too small?

Why did the Canadiens turn over their new players so quick?
Quote:
|
Rinat Valiev was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2014, in the third round at 68th overall. He was acquired just before the 2018 trade deadline by the Montreal Canadiens, in the package that sent lifetime Habs player Tomas Plekanec and AHLer Kyle Baun to the Leafs in exchange for the defenceman, a 2018 second-round pick (which became Jacob Olofsson), and Kerby Rychel.

we might see Valiev get a shot at cracking the roster at some point during the year.

At 6’3’’, and 215 pounds, he could become a decent choice as a more stay-at-home option. When he’s playing a physical game, the Russian defender can be a disruptive force against the opposition. He has the physique and the tools to be a sixth or seventh defenceman on a Habs team needing a few bodies to flesh out the roster.
|
Quote:
|
Valiev’s puck-handling skills are excellent, and so is his skating. Due to his imposing stature, he can take the puck away from a forward deep in his own end and use his size and speed to protect the puck.
|
Quote:
|
Once he’s navigated to the neutral zone, Valiev’s first instinct is to find the nearest forward for a pass. As said before, Valiev still plays a more defensive game even though he has a toolkit fitting of a puck-carrying defenceman. He is still a defender who helps his forwards with good outlet passes and setting up plays to maintain possession.
