Thread: Buff decides to join in on the fun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Are they really stupid enough to waste a season of Heinola's ELC when they have Niku who is obviously ready for the NHL? They're similar players so why not slide Heinola's ELC, don't get me wrong I think Bitetto is terrible but if his accent is that important to locker room cohesion at least be smart about how you manage the roster.

Plus more time in the AHL does nothing for Nikus development and rushing Heinola probably isn't the best for his development, the kid is tiny so what's the rush.</div></div>

I can see Niku replacing Heinola after 9 games...Maurice just wants to see him play...until then, Niku is the only one who doesnt have to clear waivers so they sent him down for game time. Both are smaller bodied D, and maurice doesn't want two small guys out there(4 including Pionk and Morrissey) so he plays Bitetto

Let’s be clear here, this is a great trade for Buffalo, they are essentially trading their 6th or even 7th defenseman and a 4th for a cap dump and a 2nd. Kulikov will be put on waivers and sent to Rochester as soon as any of Pilut, Bogosian or Montour is well.
This is an OK trade for the Jets. They get a defenseman much better (much much better Kulikov had 6 pts, Scandella had 6 goals last year) than Kulikov, unload cap space and it only costs them a late 2nd round pick. Scandella was Buffalo’s top LHD during the 2017-’18 season. He has a great shot and ranked among all top pairing NHL defensemen with 6 goals last year.
Maybe a trade is made after Bogosian returns to the line up and Zach is traded and not Scandella. I may be in error but I think the Jets could use a RHD more than a LHD.</div></div>

This isnt a good trade for the Jets...FYI, Kulikov already has points this year. If we are to trade him, its for a RD. Bogo isnt that much of an option...and we sure wouldnt trade a mid-high round pick for him.
