can be tough if you're not hard, or what did you say..?

 

[RogerRoger]

need a poll...

whose worse, Gilbert or Kuba?

You can't be serious, Kuba was much worse.

 

[Rats96Yo]

perfect! I just need the same bottle he's got

 

[floridada]

Well ***. Sens scored their 2nd goal literally the second I turned my TV on.

 

[Dread Clawz]

It hurt my head to think about that, so I just stopped.

 

[MPGA]

I hope Kuli is watching this and realizing how important it is to have him out there. Especially considering the contingency plan is Mike freaking Mottau.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

hopefully we can get rid of these guys at the deadline for some draft picks. Any good goalie prospects in this draft? We need one.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Is it me, or does it sound like sometimes that GR absolutely hates covering the team?

 

[PanthersHockey1]

taken from trade rumor section:

tsn.ca video Insider Trading - Bob McKenzie: The Florida Panthers are aggressively shopping Dmitry Kulikov and trying to get a auction going for the young 23 year old defenseman. The Panthers have had him available now for most of the year, but some teams have had second thoughts mainly because of his play. The second fear is that he is an RFA and may go back to his homeland, Russia.

Yeah, the goalie class is pretty solid.

yeah, the ever lasting fear of KHL is ridiculous

After today yes, first pretty much change what Kulikov said and then posted a pic from warm up, so yeah it feels like he wants some new assignments.

I think he gets annoyed and frustrated at this loser team like we do.

 

[adam graves]

Is it me, or does it sound like sometimes that GR absolutely hates covering the team?

He absolutely loves what he does.

Does he wish (like we all do) that he was covering a more competitive team?

who wouldn't.

plus 1

The 1st point why teams aren't biting is due to his inability to develop or show consistient efforts. Benching/scratching him will only drive his value down even further.

Thank kovalchuck.

Panthers are pushing hard on Kulikov. Dale Tallon working the phones. Has called several teams. Don't believe it? You should. #NHL

Honestly. We dont have the depth to be trading a defenceman right now. As bad as he's been lately, he is still better than mottau and gilroy. Hate to see Tallon giving up on him, the talent is there and the mental game will come. I guarantee whatever team he goes to he will be a stud.

That was my concern as well. If we actively are trying to shop him, it isn't in our best interest to bench him. Unless by benching him DT intends to send him to bryan murray's box in an ottawa jersey.

i have to agree.

I really hope he's traded to the West if Tallon pulls the trigger. To trade him inside our division would be bittersweet watching him possibly develop into what we all thought he would be while playing against him 5-6 times a year.

The question is will the net gain be greater with a forward + plus Gilroy/Mottau. Cause seriously Kulikov hasn't been playing much better.

Also, it's not a guarantee that the mental game will come. IMO that's usually something you either have or you don't.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Damn I love the chemistry between Huby and Bjugstad.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

The Bjugstad - Huberdeau line looks so good. They finally did the right thing and got Flash off of that line.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Mottau again.
