0:00.0	The trade deadline continues to loom.
0:02.1	The aves have made one move, but very likely still have at least one more move to make.
0:07.1	AJ, let's start with the move they made.
0:09.1	Brett Kulak, in the organization, he's played a couple of games for the abs now.
0:14.4	Is this the positive impact the abs are going to expect?
0:17.1	I know you can't take a ton from a small sample size.
0:20.2	But initial reactions. Is Brett
0:22.2	Kulak going to fit in? Yeah, I feel actually really good about how it's gone so far.

1:12.9	And I think that it would be really good and useful.
1:14.9	And I'm really encouraged by what we've seen from Brett Kulak so far as an F.
1:24.4	I mean, it didn't take long, right?
1:25.8	And game one with the abs, Brett Kulak played 19 minutes,
1:30.0	jumped up the totem pole a little bit to maybe help shelter a Brent Burns when he's
1:34.5	struggling on the defensive side of the puck. Now, I don't know that Kulak playing that much
1:39.7	time should be the long-term goal, but it is showing exactly the Jared Bednar Blender where
