Kulemin done as a Leaf?

[Kin]

He'll sign for a third-line role, sure, but only at a second-liner salary. I don't think that's even being considered for Kulemin, as it probably shouldn't be for anyone... but if one had to pay a third liner like a second liner, I'd rather it be Kulemin than Bolland or Clarkson. He's younger, more durable, more versatile, has been better in the variety of situations he's been in. But then who'd parade the Cup through Mimico?

Right, but and I'll say it again if it didn't sink in, I don't think Kulemin wants to sign a deal of that nature so the Leafs kicking it around is pointless.

But, you know, kudos on taking an anti-Clarkson standpoint.

All I saw you say is that you didn't think Kulemin wanted to sign to be a 3rd liner. You didn't mention any sort of raise, so I took "and be paid like one" as implied in your original post.

But I suspect, if there were an offer to make him as well paid as this team's recent and future 3rd liners, he mightn't care so much about where he actually ended up playing.

Post #2 in the thread, chief. I understand, though, if reading the thread isn't as fun as yelling CLARKSON at the top of your voice like it's a vocal tic.

Not getting him under contract will be yet another step backwards. we all seen how his moves last year worked out. This is a top notch bottom six player who we have seen can fit right in on the top six, he is a solid two way player who hits well, and is very tough. So can someone please tell me why this bunch of clowns at the top would even think of not getting him locked up. Komorov should be offered a deal as well.

Depending on how the draft and free agency unfolds this weekend, I'm starting to believe taking backwards steps is the idea for next season. Look no further than retaining Carlyle....

Its time. A couple of years back he was my favorite leaf if I had such a thing. He does nothing for me now

He's only one of our better two way players, it seems we are sending away the players who help us and, are keeping the over paid clowns who I can even believe we signed in the first place.

Where's the red nose?

Bozak ate it.  Thought it was a Skittle.

So true. Its just hard to believe how most of us fans can see the right moves yet the powers that be can't.

Oh, nutman, c'mon now.  That's just ridiculous.  I think this is a case of way easier said than done.
