You don’t create that kind of offense and drive play by being bad, he does need a big good defensive minded D to pair with but he can change a team offensively and create some magic, and don’t look at his +- because when you take empty net goals out he is a -5 on a team that’s -85

Nope. Getting a 100p 2 time (about to be 3) Norris trophy winner for only 8 mil should be considered a steal plus is deal ends in age 36 not 40 so you should get at least 3 highly productive seasons

Why would the Bruins trade a young goalie that could be a potential starter to a divisional rival???

I know its not your idea but whoever wrote that article has no clue about the Sabres. Samuelsson doesn't play right side, he plays left on a pair with Dahlin. And they are delusional if they think Buffalo will trade Kulich for anything. We can just sign a guy like Scott Mayfield and he will be a significant upgrade for our D-core while keeping our prospects and picks.

0 chance Buffalo proposes that trade. Kulich is untouchable. He's the most successful 18 yo to play in the AHL in history. We can get other D that are younger, cheaper to acquire, and just as good on the defensive side of the puck

Buffalo has rasmus dahlin and Owen power. Trading all those assets for Karlsson is dumb

A parking cone might be just as good on the defensive side but literally no on in the world is as good offensively.
But yea you’re probably not wrong on the deal.
