The New York Islanders thought they were getting productive offensive players when they signed Nikolay Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski to 4 year deals back in 2014. Unfortunately for the Islanders both have been underwhelming.
The heyday for Grabo and Kulemin was during the 2010-2011 season when they both put 50+ point seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs. They have been no where near that production with the New York Islanders.
Grabovski’s Injuries
Part of the reason Grabo hasn’t lived up to his $5 million aav contract is injuries. He’s played 58 and 51 games the last two years.
