6.3 Cap

* D Dmitry Kulikov, $2.4m (2013-2016)
* MiLR D - Nicolas Deslauriers (2009: 3/84 - 0 Games)

Kings listed the asking price and the Flames offered us a package quickly and very much to our liking to replace all the points we would lose by dealing our star goalie Bernier plus receive our premium for scarcity at the position. We have a natural softwood for Saad who's a hometown favorite of the new owner. Hertl can't help us until next year but we were expecting a prospect anyway so we can wait.
There were only 2-3 teams we expected offers from and since we filled our wishlist and Quick is back playing full-time, we pulled the trigger on the deal.
Jack/Flames to confirm.
