We need something coming back with Kulak.

As much as I would love to dump Kulak, Montreal is packed at LD, and he's not exactly worth that return.

Absolutely nothing in it for SJS

Essentially all teams pass.

And Semyon Valarmov already said no to waiving for Edmonton. So why would he sign there then over the summer?

I'd take that deal as Anaheim's GM. We need a stopgap at RHD and Ceci is more than serviceable.

Add a first round pick and maybe San Jose thinks about it without giving up a pick in return

A 4th and 6th?? He's worth more than that.

Why do people think Ceci is a cap dump? He's not. No way Holland will pay to move him.

When you ship him out because his contract is too long, and you need that cap room, then he's clearly not playing to par with his contract.

and again, Montreal has no need for him, with Edmundson, Matheson, Guhle, Harris, Xhekaj all being slotted at LD.....

So, maybe a team needing a guy who struggles at 2nd pairing, or is overpaid for 3rd pairing, then it could work... But I don't see Montreal wanting this.

I didn't say Montreal was the right destination. But to suggest Kulak is not worth his salary is false. The only reason Edmonton is moving him is they just acquired Ekholm who is better, and they have Broberg ready to step in next season. Nothing to do with Kulak's play.
