Thread: Sacrificing Kulak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RWellington</b></div><div>Well that is the conundrum right there.

- Would I rather EDM trade Foegele or Ceci instead of Kulak ... yes everyday of the week but that seems unlikely this offseason (Core member nonsense &amp; Nurse partner)
- Is moving Kulak in order to resign Bouchard and Mcleod + run a 22 man roster worth it ... I believe so, their value on the roster far exceeds Kulak as a 5-7 dman
- Broberg dilemma, EDM appears unwilling to move on from the player and will place him in a position to get the most minutes possible.

The way I see it EDM should have dealt one of Foegele, Ceci or Kulak in order to sign the RFA's and make a 22 man roster. I dislike the 11&amp;7 for extended stretches as Woody deployed, and I genuinely believe the Oilers need to carry a 22 man roster minimum. It didn't bite them as bad as it could have last season.

You can call Jones, Toews, and Bear replacement level but price tag matters and in order to make the pieces fit someone has gotta go</div></div>
They'd be better off keeping Kulak, running a 21 man roster and accruing cap space to be used later. IMO.

I guess it all depends on what they end up signing the RFA's for, and we can't know the correct strategy until we have those numbers.

Thread: Looking at Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TraderJoes</b></div><div>Why is Janmark getting so much? You can find 6 goal scorers for a lot less. Interesting that you have him ahead of Kostin, who has been much better.

This looks pretty reasonable though. I do expect Holland to make some larger moves in the summer.</div></div>
His current scoring pro-rates to ~10g and 20a over an 82 games period while being a net positive player at 5-on-5 when away from Drai and McDavid (20-18 GF) and killing penalties. I don't know about your gauge, but that strikes me as an entirely reasonable cap hit for such a player. While I agree Kostin has been effective, he's also been pretty high-event and has run pretty hot this year. I think a short term deal (1 or 2 years; not 3) at ~900k to see if he can replicate his success is the likely arrangement.
