I'll take it. Hopefully a change of scenery for Ryan Murphy can help him. Lack should be decent. I remember him being pretty good for VAN.
So, that's three LHD prospects gone in short order in Hickey, Culkin and now Kanzig. Still lots left though: Kylington, Valimaki, Ollas-Mattsson, Healey, Falkovsky (hopefully) in addition to Wotherspoon and Kulak.
Really, really hope Treliving didn't make all these moves just to ice a bottom-pairing of Bartkowski and Murphy, two low-IQ terrible defensively AHL'ers. Would almost negate the addition of Hamonic; yes that's how bad it would be.
Lack is probably a better bet to rebound than Murphy, as the latter would actually have had to be good in the first place.

I'm not pretending to know much about Murphy, but his underlyings for the past three seasons are okay for a #7:
Seems the biggest issue is just that Carolina didn't score when he was on the ice... which might not be his fault, on account of he's a defenseman.
Can't comment on IQ or any of that stuff. That'd have to be judged with eyes.

Hard to say. He could be the kind of guy that really benefits from a change of scenery. He has a lot of talent to play with in Brodie, Dougie, and Gio can only be a good thing. I am cautiously optimistic. He has holes in his defensive game, but he's an NHL player, which is something Kulak has not done yet.

Stoke me a clipper.
Likely Chris Butler 2.0 but there's the outside chance he's a reclamation project and benefit from being outside of Carolina's system.

I don't think IQ has ever been an issue. It's more been that he gets outmuscled in his own end.

Well,
Lack loses out on the backup job to Gillies or Rittich and Murphy loses out to Kulak or Andersson. Not a whole lot of downside there, but we got some warm bodies to bring competition and to fill in if need.

I thought Diaz was a rock for us especially after we added Schlemko, and he got outmuscled like crazy. If Kulak can add 5-10lbs this off-season maybe we could re-create the magic of that Schlemko-Diaz pairing.

Right, I completely forgot about that connection. Good catch.
Carolina clearing capspace for that Draisaitl offersheet.
In that case, I LOVE this trade!
Never thought my terrible photoshop of Lack would be relevant again.
Well, that's one Flames of Thrones avatar that doesn't need to be done hahahaPeople like to **** on Dennis Wideman, but if he were making Ryan Murphy money, they'd have a lot less to say.
Yeah, and with Bill Peters calling him out publicly like he did last season his confidence is pretty shot right now. I'm sure good guy Gulutzan can build it back up.
At best, I feel this is a pretty low risk, high reward move if he can get back to his Vancouver form and win us a few games. At the very worse, we send him to the minors and call up one of Gillies or Rittich and it doesn't cost us much. If he does **** the bed none of us can say we didn't see it coming. But say what you will about him, he will keep the locker room light. Even though I disliked him for the Canucks jersey he wore, there's no denying he's a pretty likeable guy.
The more i think about it, the more i dislike Trelivings approach of throwing darts and hail mary's at has beens (lack, brouwer, smith) or never was (murphy, bart, grossman, chiasson, johnson, bollig, raymond) never seems to work out.
He seems to be unable to identify "unsung talent" like Messerschault or even Kassian (puke but he is effective). Hell, even Feaster identified effective unsung heros in Byron and Russell, not to mention hit the jackpot with Hudler.

Looks like Lack literally just got married.
This could work in our favour, since he now has a reason to stay out the house

Versteeg, Stone and even Johnson worked out pretty well. Chiasson was decent and I've got high hopes for Lazar.
