Another former first round pick gets traded for future consideration
After Max Pacioretty and Sean Monahan, who both switched addresses in exchange for future considerations, now defenceman Dmitry Kulikov is headed to Vancouver. The Wild receive future considerations in return.
We told you earlier today, it's becoming more and more popular as a personnel move, as teams are caught in the throat of a salary cap that is only going up a little bit.
Kulikov, 31, will be making his seventh team in the Bettman Series. He has 198 points, including 42 goals, in 805 games.
