Happy for Kulikov and the Jets that he’s back and apparently very healthy. We need him back there on D very badly.
So, is Kulikov injured?
no. he took a puck at the end of Friday's game and is fineSo, is Kulikov injured?

If Kulikov can play well enough that hes movable in the summer that would be a tremendous gift for Chevy. As it stands right now you’d have to package some assets to get rid of his cap hit.
I don't see why you would want to move him. We have only 3 quality defenseman signed next year. Buff, Morrissey, Kulikov. Niku will get more ice time as well. At $4.25 million you are getting a 20 minute per night defenseman, with a lot of smarts. I won't speculate on anyone's future because I think that the playoffs will ultimately decide Chevy's route, as I don't think it is laid out. But I'd be really surprised if we moved him. And we would get a good return, the way he is playing, if we did. At least a 2nd. So far in 8 years we've moved 3 players under contract that I remember. 2 in the Kane trade, and Mason for a buyout. Army was an RFA. Ponikarovsky? That just does not seem like the Jets way. If we trade Trouba, the fact Kuli has shown he can play RD, makes him even more valuable.

Because he’s a third pair guy at best making over 4 million dollars? You can get guys like him or better on the waiver wire every year.
If you think you can find a defenseman like Kulikov off the waiver wire, I think you are mistaken.
Our free agent signings began with Derek Meech and Eric Fehr. Between him, Brossoit and Perreault I think we have signed quality players.
I won't predict what direction our management goes, as I think the playoffs hold the cards.
Lol Kulikov is nothing special.
Like who?Because he’s a third pair guy at best making over 4 million dollars? You can get guys like him or better on the waiver wire every year.
When you say stuff like this you should at least make an attempt to identify at least 1 player to support your argument. But once again you haven't.Because he’s a third pair guy at best making over 4 million dollars? You can get guys like him or better on the waiver wire every year.
He's been playing as solid as Morrisey lately. Exactly what we need.
your so out to lunch or just trolling for reactions. kulikov is what you want in a 3rd dman that can seemless transition to top 4 with injuries on his "best" days as u state he is a good #4 if we werent such a cap starved team he would be tremendous value at 4 mill and he will get that with a team like montreal/vancouver etc and be worth his pay. unfortunetly we have alot of d man decisions to make this off season and if we trade for muzzin things get even more complicatedHe’s a third pair D man on his best day making 4.3 mil. That’s not good.

if we have to trade kuli at the draft we will get at least a 3rd if he keeps his play up. going into the playoffs i would be confident with
muzzin trouba
morrisey buff
kuli myers
chirot
swap muzz/jmo if needed
Kulikov would be an ok 3rd pair d man if he was making third pair money but he’s not. Guys like Kulikov or better can be found all around the league for around a million dollars or less.

if you think morrow or chiarot have the overall same game as kulikov your crazy. only reason hes playing 3rd pair is cus we have good d men and buff drags chiarot "who i will give credit for having a great year" up to passable shut down top 4.Morrow, Chiarot and Kulikov are All 6/7 d men but Kulikov is making a lot more money.
Care to name a few that are better for a million or less?
