Proposal: EDM-UTA

[TFHockey]

Karel Vejmelka (G, $2.725 M AAV X 1 year) @ 50%



Brett Kulak (LHD, $2.75 M AAV X2 Years)
Calvin Pickard (G, $1 M AAV X 2 Years)

The Oilers get an upgrade in goal and some cap space which they really need.
Utah gets a defenseman which they could use as three starters are on IR. They get a back up to replace Vejmelka. KV has lost his starter position to Ingram anyway.

Ehh I'd rather look at other backup goalie options in the summer than be locked into Pickard next season. I realize he could be sent to the AHL, but seems unlikely.

Doesn't seem like much for either club.

I'd consider this for the cap savings. I'd really be concerned about the D core and how it could even survive till the deadline though.

Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Emberson
Dermott - Stetcher
Brown

Utah probably sign a drafted prospect goalie next summer too (Hrabal or Thelin)!

I think Kulak is the guy you should be focused on.

Cant afford to lose Kulak without at least a replacement coming back, imo. Things are already thin.

Dude is a sneaky good player.

Bill Armstrong is pretty adamant about not wanting to add term on D. The left side next season is pretty locked in with Sergachev, Simashev, and one of Valimaki/Duda/Kolyachonok.

I still would like Provorov and have one of those 3 as the 7th D... but it all depends on his $$$ demands!
