[Jamie Walker]

sportsnet just announced it

 

[Ron C.]

Looks like Kulikov + 2016 2nd for Pysyk, 2016 2nd, 2016 3rd

 

[FearTheBeard]

i dont get it

EDIT: we got 33, thats actually not bad

 

[Meichel Kane]

Nifty. Kulikov is only a year older than Pysyk. Feels like he's older than that.

 

[MackAttack26]

Picks are a wash, we moved up. Pysyk for Kulikov basically. I'm cool with that.

 

[BananaSquad]

Love it!

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
The #FlaPanthers get picks 38, 89 and Pysyk from #sabres for pick 33 and Kulikov.

 

[vcv]

Stings a little less with them moving up. Still don't like to see Pysyk go.

 

[truthbluth]

Buf gets Fla's pick 33 from Van. Must be targeting someone there.

 

[Jame]

So we moved up in the 2nd!
Right?

38 to 33

 

[JThorne]

Kulikov better not ask for the moon on his next contract.

 

[Jame]

I love this deal

 

[haseoke39]

I guess I'll have to see how Kulikov plays, but this seems like a smart move in the abstract.

I don't think it obviates the need for a 1LHD. I think we still take Lindholm.

 

[Club]

Great deal for us. Welcome to Buffalo, Dmitri

 

[Afino]

I don't get it

 

[is the answer jesus]

Meh Pysyk was ok but no offensive ability and zero physicality. Depending on what the picks were I like it. Kulikov may be another tons of tools no toolbox guy, but I like him better than Pysyk longterm

This. Strikes me as bit of a Jedi deal.

38 and 89 = 33 (more or less)

Sooo.... Pysyk = Kulikov?

Top 4 guy on a playoff team for Pysyk? I'll take that.

We're strong on the right side and weak on the left side, this evens that out quite a bit.

 

[dkollidas]

Pysyk, 2nd, 3rd
For
Kulikov, 2nd

Not bad. I'll take it. We needed a lefty, they wanted someone more physical than pysyk

 

[gallagt01]

AND we have two thirds left?

Beautiful.

 

[truthbluth]

My lord, this is a bad trade. Timmy hates puck possession it would seem.

 

[haseoke39]

We've said for months, hey guys, let's move a Pysyk or a Bogosian for a comparable left shot defensemen, and we all said, sounds smart, sure.

Thanks for reading the boards, GMTM.

 

[Beerz]

so we get #33?

 

[Snippit]

I'm sure he's better than Gorges
