Truth is that top-six forwards are better than him. And it doesn't change much from third and fourth line. And in any case he can't substitute Afinogenov (less scouring touch and skating) nor Artyukhin (less size and imposing presence).
So, I don't see much wrong, although he might deserve better.
The true "scandal" is the third straight start from Nabokov
lol wut? Care to explain this?

I think you might be seriously overrating some of your teams KHL players compared to Kulemin
