Where is his place then?
He doesnt belong on our bottom pairing and hes not good enough for our top 4, where do you envision him?
Bench Gio, and if someone gets hurt move Kulack up as a stop gap until you're healthy again. That is exactly the role he plays on the Oilers.
I'd like to stress that no one is bashing Kulack in Edmonton. He's been worth every penny of his contract. I just see the team moving him before Broberg.
From my perspective the knock on the Leafs and the Oilers (prior to the last 28 games) is that they don't have good enough defense. Kulack does make your D core better. Robertson would only be of interest to the Oilers if they flip him in a package for one of the big fish out there on the wing (Guentzel, Konecny, etc)
