Pilut getting closer to an NHL return
Paul Hamilton: Buffalo Sabres GM Kevyn Adams said that they are awaiting some paperwork to make sure that defenseman Lawrence Pilut has been officially released from his KHL contract.
Should the Oilers be eyeing Nicolas Deslauriers?
Jim Matheson: There has been a lot of talk about the Edmonton Oilers signing a goaltender and either Evander Kane or Claude Giroux.
One player believes they will be after is winger Nicolas Deslauriers. He could be a fourth-liner that brings toughness to replace Zack Kassian.
Oilers UFA Brett Kulak heading to free agency
Frank Seravalli: It is expected that Edmonton Oilers pending UFA defenseman Brett Kulak will go to free agency tomorrow.
The Oilers met with Kulak’s reps today but haven’t been able to find common ground.
The Oilers will have some decisions to make with regards to their blueline.
Daniel Nugent-Bowman: Source confirms that Kulak will test free agency.
Kurt Leavins: “I would like Brett Kulak back, too. But I also think you need to be a little cautious not to block Philip Broberg with the wrong size or length of contract.”
Ouch, Oilers likely missing on Brett Kulak. He will explore the market tomorrow as the deal in Edmonton didn’t get done.
Kulak is great playdriver with solid wheels to defend and support offense who makes his team’s results much better. pic.twitter.com/4N2MxaOEls
