Todd Cordell: Brett Kulak should replace Matt Bartkowski on the 3rd pairing

I don't see why not

To me its pretty simple... Main camp and the best player out of camp gets the spot to start. It becomes that individuals responsibility to earn it go forward. I see all of the options being nearly at par with one another. Let them fight for it....

I see what you're saying, but Kulak was much better over 20+ games so I would assume that will continue being the case.

True but we are talking the #6 spot and I honestly think there are going to be a surprise or two at camp. Lets see who is the most hungry and who is willing to put in a consistent effort to stay.

Only you would buy into Reveen's homo-erotic day dreams.

Understandable as you seem to be around the maturity of a person who still thinks cartoons are real life.

Clearly you are. Why would you not bring in more assets. Even if you bring him in and flip him to a team later. He is free, will be cheap and is good.

State facts on why this is a bad idea before you become a keyboard warrior.

Most scouts agree that Butcher isn't NHL ready and would benefit from at least a year in the AHL.

I've read this but I'm just thinking on a team where the d is probably top 5 he would get sheltered minutes. Maybe 10-15 a game and would have a ton of great d to learn from. He brings more offense than Kulak and could be good fit with stone. He's free so why not try.
