Yeah, that one does look kinda bad.

But seriously, he's not a serial diver—he does that when there isn't even a defender around.

He falls a lot. Fast skater, but not strong on his skates.

Like I said......

If that had of happened with a leafs jersey on, it would of been 5 and a game...

Raymond could of hurt himself there, did you see the air he got when he lept *ahem* was tripped?

Pretty sure Kulemin played RW last season, but okay.

Kulemin played everywhere last year.

You probably had his poster in your room in 2010
- Garnie


No poster.

But I was definitely a fan when he was producing...for that season and a half.

He started getting timid even before the back injury. There are still flashes of the player he was when he put up 53 points, but it doesn't last for more than a handful of games.

Was very frustrating watching him start a promising rush and then swing his purse at the puck just off the boards inside the offensive zone.

If he wasn't too scared to make a move towards the net he could still be an effective offensive player.

Still a half decent player for the right price and is effective on the PK.

Wish him the best, but the Canucks already have a few 2nd/3rd line tweeners that play a similar style.

Eh, 77% he was with Grabo, and 53 % of the time with Mac A.

But yeah, if he slots back in on LW then you're right.

Your third best left winger is Fraser Mclaren right now.

That's a very accurate description. He simply disappeared, and stopped going anywhere near the net. He's nothing more than cheap depth...but he's no better than Lombardi at this point.

What position is Eugene Melnyk playing this year for your team? Checking line center?

Either means Kadri wont be signed because he's asking for too much.



Or someone like Kulemin will be traded and Raymond will be signed to a cheap contract.

Or it's just a tryout?

So him, big joe and colton are battling for a spot?
- SameOld


Orr likely already has his spot. Carlisle wouldn't have played him as much as he did last year if he didn't like him. Raymond isn't a fourth liner so it wouldn't be Orr's spot he'd be taking.

I guess getting Raymond could make up for losing out on the Luongo sweepstakes.

Raymond doesn't have to have a spot on the team to make the team. He could easily get a 2 way contract and just be purely back up which I don't mind at all. A winger goes down with an injury and Raymond could slide right in.
