Oilers Will Miss Brett Kulak Much More Than Is Being Talked About
Discussion about the blockbuster trade made Friday (Dec. 12) between the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins has centered almost exclusively on the two goalies changing teams: Tristan Jarry and Stuart Skinner.
Stan Bowman said it himself. "We certainly weren't trying to trade Brett Kulak. He's a great person and a great player on our team. We're going to miss him."
Kulak (not injured related) was added to the active roster Monday.
The problems in net in recent years have played an outsized role in keeping Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Oilers from getting over the hump and winning the Stanley Cup.
The Pittsburgh Penguins got Brett Kulak back in the Tristan Jarry deal, and he has the tools to help this team.
Kulak was flipped to the Penguins from the Oilers on Friday, along with Stuart Skinner and a 2029 second-round pick, in exchange for Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin.
