Proposal: Kulak to OTT

[SensontheRush]

What would it take? EDM needs to make a bit of room for their remaining RFAs.

I feel like he can be nabbed for as little as a 4th, but surely he has a bit more value than that?

No to Kulak. Want Nurse?

Got a prospect like Matthew Savoie??
Kidding

 

[PuckG]

Kulak is a quiet steady defenceman for us. Not likely to be moved.

 

[SensontheRush]

If its a prospect overpay, I think Sens could trade you Jarventie and ultimately be happy with that

 

[LTIR]

Kulak is a quiet steady defenceman for us. Not likely to be moved.

He could get moved to open up a LD spot for Broberg. With McLeod gone he is pretty much the next trade chip with value.
It wouldn't be for a 4th though.

Kulak for Bernard-Docker perhaps.

No to Kulak, especially for a 4th.

Can I interest you in reuniting with Cody Ceci?

Nope, that's Ceci my dawg.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Oilers should trade Ceci.

I'll retract my initial thought if the return can be used to guarantee that the Oilers can grab Larsson out of Seattle at the deadline. This will probably require some Kraken sabotage as well.

Seattle just loaded up. They are pushing for the playoffs. Time to move on from Larsson.

Larsson almost certainly has edmonton on his NTC

He still has good friends on the team and it would be one of his best shots at a cup. For less than 5 months of work, I think he'd consider allowing the move and parlay that into a big retirement contract. And yes, I'm aware of the history and why he wanted to move on.

I'm going to disagree with other Oiler fans and I do think he is very much available, Jeff Jackson already tipped his hand essentially confirming Broberg is on the team and we will make a spot for him if need be, I also think some are under the impression Broberg will play with Nurse since that pairing didn't look bad in the playoffs, but IMO that's too heavy of a work load in terms of quality of competition and role to start with, the 3rd pair on his natural side is ideally where he should start.

As for cost a 4th round pick is too light, I think the bare minimum is FLA's 3rd rd pick, but I wouldn't be shocked if another team had a marginally better offer like a 3rd and a 5th round pick.

 

[Chet Manley]

He could be available if the Oilers can fix the right side and go with Ekholm, Nurse, and Broberg down the left. Kulak is a really good #5 defenseman but it's questionable whether him or Broberg should be playing on the right full-time.

Broberg will play RD. Kulak is the anchor of the bottom pair. And with our current RD, we will need him.

This is a presumption of not being able to add another RD which I'm not sure is true.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Absolutely I am assuming we will not find another RD. I hope I am incorrect. Perhaps it is being accustomed to too many ultra conservative (or incompetent) GMs in the past. I never would have presumed we could have traded McLeod for much either, and we got a recent top 10 pick, so it is very likely that a deal could happen that I never would have thought of under less aggressive times.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Kulak is pretty underrated, he does his job every night, he performs pretty consistently between 10-18 minutes a night, he skates well, can play both sides and move around the bottom 4 pretty easily. Good guy to have around and don’t see why Edmonton would want to move him.

Cody Ceci might be an option if new Ottawa management wants a reunion with a hometown DHD boy.

 

[The Nuge]

Kulak is too good in the playoffs to consider moving him. He anchors our bottom pairing and seems to always make his partner better

 

[KevinRedkey]

No to Kulak, especially for a 4th.

Nope, that's Ceci my dawg.

Pretty sure he meant 'positive' value, which Ceci certainly dos not have.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

To NHL GMs, he likely does. In HF meme-land, it's a miracle that the Oilers are still allowed to have a franchise with him on the roster.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

One year left on his contract, worse players return picks/prospects at the TDL. Just ask Montreal.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Fun fact: Kulak had twice as many points as McLeod in the playoffs.
