August 16, 2024
From article: “Might ex-Vancouver Giant Brett Kulak be a Vancouver Canucks target, now that the Edmonton Oilers are apparently resigned to trading him?”

With our 15k in cap space? How would we be able to afford a 6-7 d man making damn near 3m? It’s not like we can send any salary back if they’re trying to clear cap.
Trade for a marginal upgrade that bails out your biggest division rival? This is nonsense.
Could McDavid leave the Oilers?
Answer is yes but unlikely….
>He would be a marginal upgrade on the third pair over Derek Forbort
I don’t see why we would pay almost double the salary over twice the years for a “marginal” upgrade. The defense is set until injuries or the trade deadline happen
Lmao why would we do that? Maybe if they give us a first and retain 50%.
Even if we want to bail out Edmonton, do we need another 3rd pairing guy? Just wait until the deadline for a Top 4 D. No thanks.
