Could also see him sheltered with Mikko at 5v5 and win a top PP-spot…
I like the idea of a Kulikov - Schmidt pairing… Both play the right-side confidently and they can shut it down and move it !
Can’t argue how huge Kulikov’s deal was to open free-agency… This team needed that kind of veteran presence and commitment, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy and a cool, devoted Panthers since his early days !
As for Boqvist, maybe smarter to have get his confidence and health back on the bottom-pair like you said.
We will have to wait for training-camp to see where all those dominoes fall…
Uvis, Benning and others could also be in the mix… There are two spots on D if we go 7 deep !
Can’t wait to see those guys go back at it !!
