Avs' Kulak Heist - Bigger Splash Coming?
The Avalanche waste no time post-Olympic break, flipping Samuel Girard and a 2028 second-rounder to Pittsburgh for Brett Kulak, a gritty vet who bolsters their shutdown game without breaking the bank. Chris MacFarland sheds Girard's $5 million cap hit for Kulak's $2.75 million deal, freeing up over $8 million with the March 6 deadline looming. This low-risk tweak to an already elite blue line screams they're loading the cannon for a heavier artillery strike before the rush.
