“The other thing here, Jamison (Coyle), is, I had said a week ago that I didn’t know if this trade could happen because Pittsburgh wasn’t willing to keep. I think one of the things that changed, Jamison, initially was that Pittsburgh was willing to acquire Kulak at first, but they did, and that changed the dynamic.

And it will be interesting. For example, I think Kulak is a better player than he has shown this year. He has had a very difficult year. I’ve always liked him. It will be interesting to see if they want to pick him for more.
