Kulikov signed for 2 years

[BabyBennettov]

It's so tough to say, he comes through sometimes but is completely off other times, I wouldn't doubt he has sources I am just not sure how real he actually is.

Been following the guy since the beginning... He has been right more often than not for what I can recall.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

If Bob Mckenzie is reporting it, its pretty much a done deal. Im not happy its only 2 years though. I think Kulikov maybe only wanted 2years to see if Florida can make the playoffs both years, if not he will probably re-sign somewhere else. Anyways, its great news as this team needs him ready ASAP. Re-signing Kuli and Guddy in 2 years will suuuuuucccckkkkk big time with both of them requesting $4-6 million each depending on their stats.

Not to pop another dredded re-signing question but what do you think Markstrom will want next year to re-sign?

I feel if Tallon is committed to Markstrom, Tallon being very logical will offer him

5yr-$23.5 million = $4.7/yr

or

6yr-$28.5million = $4.75/yr

I don't see Tallon offering him only 2-3 years otherwise he would be trading Markstrom for Luongo right now.

 

[SoupyFIN]

It seems Subban and O'Reilly won't get signed before Saturday's opener...

Can you ask your mother the lottery numbers if she predicted Subban and O'Reilly situations too ?

Thanks in advance.

All I'm saying is, anyone with a little knowledge about how the NHL's RFA stuff works could have plain guessed that. He threw some **** on the wall, and some of it sticked.

There's a reason why he/she isn't a creditable source on this site.

This is the stupidest idea I've heard in a while around here lmao. 8 NHL games doesn't warrant almost 5 million per season.

Unless Paul Holmgren has somehow taken Dale's place and form.

They are both 22 Kuli with 3 years of service an Marky with 2. After his 2 year deal Kulikov will still be a RFA we can match anything he gets. Same with markstrom. So signing them to short deals to let them prove themselvess then giving them a long term contract is exactly what Tallon should be doing. I don't ever want another Olesz.

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

This was the perfect end to a day at work when I heard the news. Two years might be a bit less than I wanted as I was hoping for three or four. I figure at least we'll get to see more of what he's capable of in this short season before possibly re-signing him in the offseason.

 

[BeezKnees]

Great news. Will Kuli still be an RFA at the end of the term, or will he be a UFA by then? I'm not familiar with the rule.

Funny twitter argument going on between gr and hockey I.N.S.I.D.E.R.R.

Don't give a damn as long as I see #7 Saturday.

I love GR.

He said he hadn't spoken to agent in 48 hrs when u said deal was done. “@***************: Guess asst GM wasn't honest in regards to Kulikov

 

[Panthers are Red]

Good to see he has signed. I think it works pretty well for both sides that he has signed a two year contract, as he will still be a RFA when his contract ends and he has a chance to prove himself and try to earn big bucks in a shorter time.

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Hey guys, I also wrote on HF maybe a couple of hours ago that 'they'd be close soon.'

It wasn't hard to speculate that. I'm not an insider.

Richards is an insider. Fialkov is an insider. HockeyInsider is ************* is Eklund is enough of this already. Good speculation =/= trustworthy source!

Im just considering what the options may be for Markstrom?? His entry level was $1.3million so what will Markstrom ask for?? I don't see Tallon only signing him 2-3 years. $4-4.5 million is not out of the question for this kid, he is suppose to be the FRANCHISE goalie that Luongo was years ago. I dont see Markstrom signing for less than $4million a season.

 

[HockeyRulez]

Way to go Mike Santos and Dale Tallon

He has never played a full NHL season no way he gets $4-4.5 million.

Markstrom would want a one or two year deal to prove what he can do so he can sign a longer term deal after that. He's not going to get anywhere near 4 million. Zero percent chance he gets that. He'll probably get a two year deal for 1.5 and 1.75 mill a season. He hasn't played at the NHL level for more than a handful of games. Welcome to the boards.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Thanks for the Welcome!! As i review it, the lower salary cap next year, i realize $4 million is high but i just dont see $2 million being enough for Markstrom?? What does Dale do end of next year when:

Theodore is a free agent
Clemmensen has 1 yr left
Markstrom is a RFA

I doubt we keep all 3 and have Markstrom play the least amount of games between the 3 of them. I'm just excited hockey is back.

Theo leaves. Clemmer is backup to Markstrom. 2 mill is too much.

Safe to say Kulikov will be getting more PP time with Garrison gone? If so, he could see his point totals climb pretty dramatically.

Fleischmann - Weiss - Versteeg
Campbell - Kulikov

???

Btw, glad you guys got him locked up, but I was really hoping the Flyers would somehow snag him.

You'll have your chance to Shea-Weber him for us in 2 years

Mueller is playing on the point with Campbell. Kuli will most likely be on the point on the 2nd unit.

 

[Holy Jokinen]

Any word on cap hit? Or are we waiting till he passes the physical and the deal goes official?
