Primal Optimist Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 "Let me be perfectly clear, Rumours are rumours, but some of these suggestions need to be addressed. Nik is a great member of our team, did he have a down year? sure, but everyone does. We have talked to some teams, and taken calls from others, but there is no plan or agreement to move Nik Kulemin. As the various sports desks are reporting there are over ten teams who could afford him and most of which would love to have his production on their team, but the fact is Nik is a fan favourite at home in New York and we certainly are not shopping him around. That San Jose, Edmonton, WInnipeg< St Louis, CHicago, the Islanders, Penguins Caps and bruins...even the sens and Huricanes COULD have a solid guy like Nik on their squad, for a small price on the trade market is patently not exactly what I said. Absurd is a word I would use. How wildly these rumours get blown out of control. I have never mentioned which of those teams have called, nor who we have contacted, but yeah, if you members of the press are going to corner me over the issue, then yeah, I guess any of those teams technically could start the year with Nik Kulemin and be better off for having him, and yeah, sure, we wouldn't be looking at a large piece coming back, because frankly, Nik might not be on the block" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the in-laws here from Regina so yeah....... certainly not pointed at agents, just a slow and dead time for us all... though agents do make it a bit more interesting (as do real life signings, i guess). just sharing my frustrations, likely with 29 other like minded individuals.
