So by that incredibly vague title, I’m talking about a rumor that has the New York Islanders putting Nikolai Kulemin on the trading block in search for a top-six forward.
Straight up it makes no sense what so ever. It’s not that Kulemin isn’t worth anything at all but a top-six forward he is not. Let’s just go over some of his numbers this season.
In 22 games played the Russian forward has two goals and three assists, for a total of five points. Putting him on pace for 18 points come season end, assuming he plays the remainder of the schedule.
