<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlueJacketsandBuckeyes</b></div><div>Columbus declines easily

Both players are superior NHL players to most on that Columbus roster today. Add in playoff experience and they are easily worth more than this.

Last I checked Columbus doesn’t have enough NHL calibre players, especially dmen. Kulak was often the 2nd best, and sometimes in the best Dman for Edmonton during these playoffs. He makes too much as a 3rd pair D and he is blocking Broberg, unfortunately Nurse cannot be moved, so Kulak has to go.

Kulak is worth a 2nd right now and would very easily be a top 4 defender on that Columbus blue line (ask any Habs fan) and comes at an extremely low cap hit for that role.

Foegele can be a consistent dominant force (ask any Canes fan, he was a favourite there too), but he is too expensive for the Oilers on the 3rd line where he is blocking Holloway.

Both players make the CBJs better, 3rd and 4th rounders are an excellent bargain for that. Both are big, fast and physical, this trade is a literal gift and you are complaining about improving your team for a song.

I lived through a decade of darkness in Edmonton (so many bad teams/players) and I know where Columbus is at right now. I remember my GM trading a 3rd for Nikita Nitkinin’s (a Columbus player) signing rights. The guy was barely a NHL player.

Like I said, this deal is a gift and this helps Columbus immediately and has way more value than any of those distant draft picks.
