The Calgary Flames placed defenseman Brett Kulak on waivers earlier today. The move is part of their ongoing negotiations with the restricted free agent for a new contract.
Kulak’s in an interesting position, in that he has one full NHL season under his belt and is on the waiver wire at a time where most clubs have already done their summer tinkering and are merely waiting for camps to open. But Kulak’s also the type of player that doesn’t hit the waiver wire often – a young puck-moving defenseman that can play both sides of the ice and has shown he’s NHL caliber.
