3rd line grinder making 2.8mil, Oh I think you overvalue Kuli, most do
- shmenge


I think he's playing 2nd line with Kadri and Lupul, but that's beside the point. If a team wants to pay you $2.8 and then hire a coach that wants you to play 3rd line - what are you to do? He's a 2nd line player - plus the leafs kind of flip 2nd and 3rd liners back and forth...not going to get a guy like him any cheaper than $2.8 IMO

There's not much he can do with him for a couple of more years. A buyout is too soon even after the end of next season.

I do feel Clarkson will be much better. Everything that could go wrong did.

- RogerRoeper



Couldn't be any worse. I do think there is a lot of confusion with Clarkson...... Some expect 30goals, and given the salary and he did do it (once). But I think that if he was just "career avg" he'd be seen a lot differently. Currently has 3 g 8 pts, and both stats are basically HALF the career #/game. If he currently had 7-8 goals and 14pts I think that changes a lot. I think he's been a disappointment not because he isn't going at a 30 goal 60 pts pace, but because he's well below his career #. I didn't expect his to match his career high numbers (would have been nice ) despite what some trolls think Leaf fans expected, but I though 15-17 goals (which is his career avg) and like 30pts.

I like Kuli it's just that he's been converted into a checking winger under Carlyle and we need to make room for some young guys. Then there is maybe he wants to go back to the Motherland, I don't know. Let's trade him while the perceived value is high
- shmenge



if he's not going to sign reasonably, then yeah move him.

D'Amigo, Ashton can easily fill that role and whoever they get back in a trade, maybe

That's the one. I made it to 56 in half hr once and I'll never try again. Burped wing sauce for like three days and felt like me organs had melted.

Carlyle calls Holland and Ashton question marks. Seems unlikely. Holland was on crutches (lace bite), Ashton hand heavily wrapped.


wtf is lace bite??

Neither of those two you just mentioned are as fast or strong as Kulemin.

yes well, Kuli is not top 6 material either. Again I like him but we need to open up spots for young Marlies if he demands a huge raise

I've never once heard of his. Had to google it. Apparently is when your skate is too tight and compresses a tendon in your foot (caused by improperly fitted skates or skates tied too tight).


How does a guy making millions playing hockey not be able to get properly fitted skates or know how to properly tie his skates??

Or is a racist female genitalia, yes I know. Still doesn't mean Terry isn't one of the best defenders to come out of England ever.

I really doubt he'll be asking for much more than what he's getting now, maybe a 12-20% raise.

false. as to fast part. Definitely not as strong, not even close nor as good offesnively. Probably not as good defensively either although D'Amigo is pretty good and ashton isn'ttoo bad either.

Kulemin may be faster, but not a lot. I wouldn't be worried about speed in that comparison.
