Recalled/Assigned: Kulak called up!

[cphabs]

I understood that it's not the individual defining himself but how other individuals within the governing authority are imposing their definition of the individual upon him and penalizing him for not living up to it. Is that not artificial enough for you?

What if the individual is a serial killer seeking his/her full potential? Should we stop it per our construct of law/government intervene? You are seeking truth and that more than a dicey prospect on a hockey board.

 

[GoodKiwi]

I bet, Brett Kulak never foresaw his promotion to the NHL spark this kinda discussion. Had he have, he would've refused his NHL re-call.

This has nothing to do. You're really reading too much into a very general statement.

Let's go back to hockey, shall we? We'll leave this for the philosophy forum, assuming it exists.

Shit-disturber.

You bet Kulak...

I wouldnt be surprised to see Kulak paired with Weber eventually, I think it would be a good match...

If it works out, great. But the thought of putting a guy they acquired in an ahl trade on the top pair really makes me sad because that means we’re in sad shape.

 

[Schwang]

I’m thinking career. I would love to package him right now for a Veteran D-man. He might not even be good enough to be on our team in a couple of seasons if we develop and draft well.

I just get the impression that he’s not playing up to his strengths. He’s super fast but not a big shot. He rarely pinches in though. He seems more concerned with his own end.

Of course, we would all like Weber to play with a Ekman-Larsson but if Kulak is a better match than Mete or Reilly, thats already it...

 

[Habano]

Finally, they're actually trying something....SMFH

You bet Kulak...

Hey, right back at ya, now that I know what it means!

 

[Vachon23]

I like his 1st period !

 

[Scintillating10]

I thought he played well. Looked like NHL material. Better than Benn or Ouellet has looked this season.

 

[nhlfan9191]

He actually impressed me a lot. My favourite play was where he ruthlessly had Eichel pinned to the boards and made sure that line wasn’t getting anything.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I liked what I saw. Not only does he have nice tools, but he’s always got his head on a swivel and is aware of everything going on around him.

If he, Reilly, and Mete can step up and be consistent:

Reilly Weber
Kulak Petry
Mete Juulsen

Wouldn't be against it. I'd also add that on top of Suzuki and Poehling, I'd add Brook as an untouchable prospect.

Though I'd also be okay with Mete being sent to Laval and keeping that 1st round pick.

 

[pl4tinum]

Personally I think Juulsen and Reilly are both really good. Reilly even more so. I can't believe they are healthy scratching the guy. He makes the right play and has great puck patience, which is incredibly underrated in a defenseman. Kulak looked good in his first game. Petry is solid. Benn is fine as a 3rd pairing dman. The rest of these guys don't belong in the league (Schlemko, Ouellet, etc). I sure hope they're just showcasing Schlemko because that dude has no business being out there.

 

[Garnet76]

At the start of the year the defence was holding it's own and some nights playing very well. Moving the puck quickly out of the zone. Now with some vets getting healthy and alzner in the line up it's become an unorganized mess in their own end. They are back to the d to d passing and a very slow exit out of their end. This allows the other team to tighten up the neutral zone and forces the habs to eventually dump the puck in and chase. The problem is they dont habs the size to play along the boards. Frustrating to watch for me.

I saw the same, hopefully he does it constantly!

The best way to acquire a top pairing d would have been to have gotten Skinner, Perron, Duclair, Sheary this summer when they were available for next to nothing. That would have given us the depth of assets at forward to acquire a dman. But our GM couldn't do that, because it's more important to make sure there's enough ice time for Peca, Deslauriers, Plekanec, Hudon, Armia, and Shaw than to get the assets needed to acquire a top 4 d????

There were no top 4 d available at a reasonable price this summer. The talent was on the wing. It was clear as day to me that you stack up on talent on the wing and then during the season make a trade with a team that's good defensively but struggling to score. Or, a team like the Oilers may be willing to give futures for good wingers that you then ship for that top 4 d.

Kulak was head and shoulders above Alzner and Schlemko. In fact he even came to their rescue when they were in trouble, showing both good mobility and solid defensive read in the process. Schlemko was going to be beat to the outside for the third time this game - first two he took penalties. We'll see if Kulak can play at this level consistently but the tools are there. The defence might be much improved with the imminent return of Weber and if Kulak can continue playing like he did yesterday. And Juulsen should not be out longer than a few weeks since there was no surgery needed.

I understand they are trying to boost Alzner/Schlemko's asset value to move them but at one point they might cut their loses in case of Schlemko while Alzner can only go to Laval unless they take another contract back.

I doubt anyone is giving up a first pairing defenceman. More likely a second that’ll become a first

That’s perfect, as long as he can play big minutes with Weber
