Kulak a Potential Trade Chip for Penguins After Acquisition

Veteran defenseman Brett Kulak, recently acquired by the Penguins from the Oilers in the Tristan Jarry trade, could become a trade chip. Kulak, a pending unrestricted free agent, is seen as a reliable defenseman capable of playing a smart game, having recorded 7 goals and 25 points in 82 games last season. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman suggests he's better than his recent performance, noting his potential interest from contenders as a solid bottom-pairing, penalty-killing defenseman with playoff experience.
