I was just coming to post this! Really great for San Jose, Askarov looks like the real deal, and if he is, they trip to the bottom will be really short lived Wonder what Nashville got here, a goalie, and a goalie that wanted to be traded, interested in the value they got

Wow Shocked its not here yet but EF is reporting McGroaty has been traded from Winnipeg to Pittsburgh Hockeybuzz is saying its Braedon Yager going back to Winnipeg, but EF has not confirmed return yet

With the Edmonton Offer Sheets, they clearly need to move salary. Would there be any appetite for a Kulak for Joki Swap? Kulak has 2 years left at 2.75 Million I beleive Joki 1 year left at 3.1 Million The trade would be: Kulak for Joki 50% retained And maybe we can get a draft pick out of Edmonton for doing this as they need to shed salary really bad. Edmonton adds a relatively young defensman to replace Broberg that can play now, at a fraction of his cost. We take Kulak who is more the type of defensman we need right now. Joki only has the one year left so Edmonton can let him walk if needed next year. We get the cost controlled asset of Kulak for one more year. If the top 4 is some combination of Power, Dahlin, Sammy, and Byram then Kulak on the third pair is great! He is a lefty and we love those right? Plays extremely physical and tough and could slide up and down the line up as needed. Is this something you guys would entertain? Is it something the team would entertain? Clearly UPL and Joki are good friends would they still trade him knowing he is liked off the ice? Mitts was traded and he was Dahlins best friend so the precedent is there for a move like this. Usually I would not entertain moving a 24 year old defensman for 30 year old but Kulak fits us so much better then Joki. This would be a no-brainer for me and would fit a lot more along our idea of winning now and filling out the roster and making it complete

I have been a lurker on this page for a long time! I am a long time member on another board and I just could not hold my tounge anymore! If we can get Necas you get him! He is 25 years old, yes you have to pay him, but is 6'2 190 lbs, fast, forechecks, isnt a physical beat but plays hard. To me its a deal built around Joki and 11th, they need defensmen as Skjei and Pesce could go elsewhere If you get Necas you are getting him for his prime years! He had 72 points last year, and still 50 this year. He replaces Skinner instantly and he has played center before. You then add a defensive defensman and revamp the bottom six and we are laughing! This could be a very good move for us.
