He's ok for leagues that count hits/blocks but if it's a points only league, you can do better elsewhere. He hasn't stayed healthy long enough to learn offence yet.
Just wondering what are the general thoughts on him from now going forward. Imust admit, I havent seen much of him live.
What's his real potential? Is he a true offensive Dman? Is he bandaidboy material?
Thanks

Learn offence? Has to be the first time I hear that... You don't learn offence, you either have it or you don't IMO.
Anyway, I think Kulikov has a good offensive upside but he has been injured way too many time in the last years and that might have stalled his development.
His value is really low right now, so if you can acquire him for cheap do it.

i think he needs to learn more betterness..
if its just a move to get him id go for it. not sure if your looking to pick him up or trade for him.

Gotta say I was disappointed by Kuli this year, prior to injury, but he has serious offensive upside and I would buy low if possible.
He started off the year on the wrong foot - not signed, behind the rest of his teammates re game action, not a fav of the coach, etc, and never got his footing. Just when he was turning it around playing with Campbell on the top PP, he gets hurt.
FLA landing Brennan is interesting. I wonder if Kuli is just not a fit in FLA and they are looking to move him - hope so.
His band-aid boy status is starting to be a real concern, but he is a guy to target if you can. He's still young and the upside is there.
