Plum Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 TSN Hockey @TSNHockey Florida and Dmitri Kulikov agree to terms on a 3-year, $13M deal, per @TSNBobMcKenzie #TSN #NHL Overpayment but it's alright with the cap going up and they have plenty of cap to spend.

AriGold Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 4.33M per year ? Little high for Kulikov but I guess the KHL threat is always there so they had to do what they had to do.. Big money offseason for the Panthers.. Jokinen, Bolland, Kulikov and Willie Mitchell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Maybe Tallon knows what he's doing; he's screwed MG way too many times to be an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Maybe only an overpayment by 1m perhaps. Very solid young defender who will increase his production this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Does it really take a lot of talent to screw MG though? I think it does, no one else in the league could convince MG he was getting value in a trade, hence why Tallon is the only one who could repeatedly screw him again and again, yet MG would still come calling; that takes talent.

Master Mind Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 A bit pricey, though he should be worth it by the end of the contract. Maybe Tallon knows what he's doing; he's screwed MG way too many times to be an idiot How so? MG won about half the trades he made with Tallon.

zombieksa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Campbell - Gudbranson Kulikov - Petrovic Mitchell - Ekblad Olsen All of a sudden Florida's defense is looking pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The term is good but the cap hit is not. It also makes him the second highest-paid blueliner on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The term is good but the cap hit is not. It also makes him the second highest-paid blueliner on the team. He did have 2nd most TOI/g, a low PDO, and decent QoC Rel. Imho, with the inclusion of Mitchell and Ekblad he may have more manageable minutes allowing him to play a more rounded game. I think this is actually a decent contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 ... Man Florida is over paying for everyone. Luongos 4.5 is by far their best value on the roster. Man that 4.53 cap hit is a beauty for an elite goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFanForever1123 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I probably would have given him at most 3.75 cap hit. But that's not all that much lower than what he got. Reasonable deal for Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Overpayment...but that's all Florida has been doing lately. I still can't believe the Blues wouldn't offer something like this to Sobotka, who has proven far more than Kulikov. Yet reports are St. Louis was playing hardball at 3.

Noseforthenet Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Tallon is basically the anti MG. Great with trades, but overpays big time for free agents. He is bad with the money he has to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You guys under the illusion that Gillis got screwed repeatedly by Tallon need to have a closer look at what Tallon got in those deals. Bernier - who they waived. Grabner - who they waived. Samuelsson - who hardly touched Florida ice due to injuries. Sturm. Evan Oberg. A pick they still have from the Ballard deal, who could turn out to be an NHL player (Howden). Luongolol. Florida did not get a great deal of value out of those deals where they "screwed" Gillis. Nice story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Also disagree with people here who don't see Kulikov's value. 23 year old with five NHL seasons under his belt. As steady as anyone on their blueline - plays big minutes, faces strong competition, skates very well, has great hockey sense, plays a balanced game and has good underlying numbers. Pretty reasonable terms as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Can anyone tell me why Kulikov was rumoured to be on the outs in Florida? So he has not become McDonagh? Still a very useful D man! With potential still to be explored... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 ... Man Florida is over paying for everyone. Luongos 4.5 is by far their best value on the roster. Man that 4.53 cap hit is a beauty for an elite goalie. Unless you are Vancouver if he decides to retire early. And if he does decline in the next two years they have an overpaid backup.
