Brendan Smith is way better. So is freaking Franson

I'm not saying you're wrong I would agree but with Shattenkirk on the move, Kulikov will move up to #3 and he's the top dman left on TSNs totally obligatory available players scale. Kulikov is probably the only guy capable of playing 20+ minutes, not well mind you, and I'd bet on a team in the east that believes it's a contender panicking

Can't copy from phone.

BREAKING: STL has sent Kevin Shattenkirk to WSH for Andre Burakovsky, 2017 1st round pick and 2017 3rd round pick. #Tradecentre

Umm...

Tim Murray needs to get his ass moving now
- GERBE!!!75PTS

To keep pace with the Capitals?

All right Capitals!!!
No one saw this coming....

This is actually GREAT news for Buffalo!
it makes Kulikov & Franson a lot more valuable

Pitt & NyR needed a defenseman before, but now they REALLY need to make a move to keep up with the Caps big move

Prices for our guys just went up

Kulikov the #1 available defenseman...
Let the bidding begin!

Umm...
- Sabresfan-365

poop it looked real.

Good to see the Capitals figure out they need to add much, much more than Mike Weber for the stretch run this time.

Edit: @espnbobmackenzie.

Hangover cure:
Bloody Mary...2 minimum
Bagel and Lox (Salmon and cream cheese)
Hashborowns, a bit greasy
Coffee, black.
Bloody Mary.
Rye Toast.

Normal Go To:
Coffee
Tomato juice, cold, no cubes
Spanakopita as an appetizer
Eggs Benedict with hash browns
Corn-beef Hash
Nap!

I really hope Murray can do something of note.

Anyone can offer a ton of assets for ROR or offer Okposo 42 million.

Time to make a Fasching type deal that doesn't take 4 years to pan out

Things are going smoothly if everything goes right I could see us in the the top 5. the next two weeks

Shattenkirk trade has other details but main parts I believe: 1st RD pick in 2017, 2nd RD pick in 2018 and Zach Ranford going to St. Louis

@Real_ESPNLeBrun again, there are other smaller parts in this trade plus some conditions...

To keep pace with the Capitals?
- Larsson_fan

No lol .. before the market dries up

Wow, no Vrana, Bowey or Burakovsky. Jesus Christ

If Shattenkirk gets a 1st and 2nd with a prospect...
Kulikov might actually get a 1st

I doubt we get our defenseman till the offseason
All we are likely to do is sell UFAs

Lol
Seriously though...
Pitt & NyR already needed a defenseman
Now even more to counter the Caps move
Kulikov is now the best available

Let the bidding war begin!

I don't know he's the best available

Brendan Smith
Kyle Quincey
Mark Streit
Cody Franson

I don't think Kulikov is really head and shoulders better than any above. And he's been a wreck

Unfortunately, there are 20-some other teams out there that most likely have a defenseman that can provide better value.

im sure we have a 4th to throw in...

Oduya
Del Zotto

that's a bad trade for the blues you'd be better off sending him to the Rangers lol

Oh well
