They are making room for Nichushkin, Ritchie and Dickinson while also shoring up a defense that may have three real young guys on it: Oleksiak, Honka & Lindell.
According to Mark Lazerus on Twitter the Stars are shopping him and is speculating a match with Florida for Kulikov... Not sure how I feel on this one if I'm honest

I like it....free it up!
I understand the logic just not sure that Kulikov is that missing link and that the others can take the spot of Sharp (yet)
tbh I think I dislike it more from a Panthers perspective as their forwards already looked pretty balanced
Kulikov would be attractive just by virtue of the fact that he's Russian. One of the perceived problems with Nich is that he's isolated on a team with no fellow Russian players.
