Speculation: Nikolai Kulemin to Test Free Agency?
- Thread starter Schenn
- Start date
Let's see how much weight there is to the Malkin-Kulemin relationship. It could be plausible that Kulemin signs with Pittsburgh.
Although it would suck to lose Kulemin it would be in the best interest of the Maple Leafs not to sign him if he feels unappreciated by the team. The Maple Leafs should have players that want to be on their team.

Bring Malkin to Toronto, if Pittsburgh collapses vs Columbus don't you guys think there's at least a chance they'd entertain offers?

Oh what will we ever do without that wonderful line that brought us so much success
Not like they got us into the playoffs or anything.
Yet another victim of the Clarkson deal. You will be missed Nik

lol? Seriously? Lets say Malkin was on the table, what would you even offer that Pittsburgh would accept and wouldn't completely gut this team?
Shame about Kulemin. He's the only winger who can play defense, and the only one who is strong defensively.

I hope Kulemin stays, it will be a big loss. He should have been a fixture on the second line all season. Also pretty pissed that the KGM line is gone, would have been a beauty line for us this season based on how things played out. The grass isn't always greener, we did a terrible job upgrading this team last off season aside from Bernier.
That being said, if they don't resign I hope to god they bring back Komorav. Not that Komorav is in the same league, but we need someone who plays with effort and heart. This team gives up on themselves too easily. Grabo, Kulemin, Mac and Komorav were players that showed up even if things weren't trending well.

Thanks uncle randy. Losing yet another quality player thanks to crap personnel decisions.
And what are those demands? You dont know.

Will end up joining the Guins on Malkin's line. I mean you can't get much better than that for an opportunity and run with it.

Thanks a lot Carlyle. People giving him crap about his offense need to look at how he is being used: http://www.extraskater.com/players/deployment?season=2013&team=tor
Started in the offensive zone just 22% of the time. And what good did it do (referring to shutdown line)? Gave up more goals than 25 other teams.
Basically, every skilled player Leafs have or had, Carlyle managed to ruin them (except JVR and Kessel).

Pretty much. In return we got Clarkson, Raymond and Holland (with Raymond and Bolland playing mediocre yet probably wanting big contracts or they'll test UFA)...
This management team sucks
