Los Angeles Kings show interest in Clarke MacArthur and Nikolai Kulemin

Looking at...

Nikolai Kulemin had a goal, an assist and one crushing hit that caught the attention of his coach. Kulemin capped his solid performance in Toronto's 2-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres with a solid open-ice check that brought the crowd to its feet Tuesday night. Not only did it send agitator Patrick Kaleta to the ice, but it showed that Kulemin - one of the few key Maple Leafs...

What’s Happened To Nikolai Kulemin?

Originally drafted in the second round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft (44th overall), Nikolai Kulemin came to the Maple Leafs with decent credentials. At 6’1” and just over 200 pounds at the time he was drafted, Kulemin had the size to be an effective power forward, but would struggle to learn a more North American friendly style of play which involved playing a 200-foot game instead...

Kulemin Being Shown the Door?

As per TSN.ca “While they can say: ‘he was on your first line last year,’ there is no one who would say Nikolai Kulemin is a first line left winger. He’s a first line left winger by default because we did not have a very good team. I’m not paying for someone who gets the position by default.” Wow. Burke seems, in a word; pissed. Not sure...
