If you want a cup than you should be upset Holland traded for Kulak + Brassard instead of better players.

Ez win for the Habs

Getting Fleury would had been cheaper...If Holland could had convince him Oilers are contenders, which obviously they are not.

This was something when I quit this afternoon at 4, but now lol a 7th with that, cherry toping

This is related to the Duncan Keith deal.

See above.

Ok.

Hughes IS good, with his Boston College Law Degree and his 26 years as an Agent he completely schooled Ken Holland with his 1 week as a Vacuum Salesman, his 14 years as an NHL Scout & Director and his 28 years in Management; can owners Trade GM’s?

I woudlve been happy with a 3rd. Lagesson is probably gone after this year, and the 7th is a bonus. Nice work Habs mgmt

NOT AT ALL

Agreed, he's not better. And Lagesson was going to be a UFA if he had stayed in Edmonton as he needs to play 18 of the last 20 in order to retain his RFA status. So it was just cap going the other way in the form of a guy who cleared waivers twice this season.

Fleury wouldn't wave for Edmonton. They went down that path already.

ahh that makes sense, cheers lad

I have loved Kulak so far I am perfectly fine with this price tag

Yeah he's a good #5 who will thrive with Edmonton
Hopefully they can resign him for halt cheap.

Pretty sure everyone's happy with Kulak's play up to this point? @oilersfan150 @oilersguy @Roysboy72

Yep he’s been great.

How much do you think he gets if they re-sign him?

Hometown discount, like 2M-2.5M AAV

It was a fair deal for both sides. We will have to see what the Habs do with that 2nd rounder

We won't know until 2023 because it will transfer

Above 2mil maybe 2-2.5 like @Poehling said.

It's a 2nd rounder. Not an elite sniper. Kulak replaced Nurse's minutes (suspension) in game 6 vs LA. The pick was worth that game alone!

I guess. Also if yer wondering where JetsCanesSens went, I changed my name.

I created the ACGM calling it an overpayment but it was a worthwhile trade..

Overpayment is a vilified word here but it shouldn't be, it's not the GMs job to be fair or he's a failure! The job is to win and keep winning throughout the years!

Its the same at the draft, you overpay to move up but if you love the player like a KAndre Miller in New York then it's worth the 'overpayment'

The only time things are terrible is when you sit on your hands and do nothing wasting a core like Winnipeg Jets GM Chevy or when you give away picks for no reason but to fool yourself into competing like Stan Bowman.

You absolutely pay the price when you have a McDavid and Draisaitl especially for a solid player like Kulak. Appearances be damned

Nope



Would have said the trade was fair

Until the Habs ended up getting Lane Hutson with the 2nd rounder
