I don't think that trade works for the Habs.
The whole point of trading Kulak is to open a spot in our line-up to sign LD Jordan Harris whos NCAA season will end shortly.
Playing Harris this year to burn 1 year off his ELC would probably be required to getting him under contract with us.
So bringing back another LD in Kempný doesn't work.
If you need the cap room the Habs would probably retain half of Kulak's salary which makes his cap hit a very reasonable $925,000 in exchange for a 3rd round pick or a prospect.
Plus wouldn't you guys want to have a player like Kempný around for depth in the play-offs?
