Dilly Canuck Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I find him intriguing seeing how he had 38 points in 36games with Metallurg Magnetigorsk of the KHL (albeit on a line with Evgeni Malkin)which was good for 7th in scoring. He also lead the league in +/- at +25. Pretty impressive when you compare his stats to the likes of Ovechkin, Datsyuk and Lupul. He's big, strong and seems defensively responsible. Could be a fit under AV and on a line with Kes or the Sedins. Wouldn't mind if he was included in a potential Luongo deal seeing how the Leafs have little to offer outside of Gardiner. What do you guys think? Also if someone could post a link of the KHL stats that would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Kulemin could be worth a gamble, he scored 30 a couple years ago. Even last year he was a +2 on a terrible Leafs team. That said he scored 7 goals last season and makes 2.8 million. I don't think his value is very high, but he is still serviceable in a bottom 6 role.

Jaku Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 He would only get numbers like that playing with Malkin. He'll be a 25-30 point player in the NHL for his entire career, he had one decent season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hardly center piece material for a trade; spare included part? (And hardly spare for TO, who uses him) Definitely has an NHL body... http://mapleleafs.nh....htm?id=8473579 Can he play RW? We are also pretty loaded, Booth notwithstanding, on left wing...

Canuck Surfer Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wasn't Connolly waived yesterday? And where I don't think Kulemin has the value as the key piece in a Lou trade; I'm pretty sure Ballard does not get you a 225 lb winger with 30 goals on his resume' Kulemin could be worth a gamble, he scored 30 a couple years ago.

Toews Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I don't think Toronto would let go of him so easily. He is a defensively responsible winger with enough size to be effective physically. Imo you don't get rid of players like these. Even if he is not good enough to be a second liner, he can still be effective on the third line.
