Not giving up Kulich in a deal for Chychrun

Mike Grier isn't eating $12,500,000 x 5 yrs on Erik Karlsson, For that worthless pieces. Not even close.

I would agree with you, but I don't know how sustainable Karlsson's current pace is at 32 years old. Also, Buffalo is one of the few teams where SJ doesn't really have to retain much. Karlsson's NMC complicates it all too. Lots of young swedes on this team, would he be open to mentoring a team on the come up?

You're also getting a starting goaltender but I get your stance. Realistically, where would Kulich slot into the line up in the next 5 seasons anyways? Cozens, Thompson, Krebs, Savoie, Mittelstadt all can play center.

He's playing RW in Rochester and having a very good start. He might not be as offensively gifted as JJ Peterka but they play very similar games
