That's not going to work. Scratching Jones for Kulikov is not making your team better and there's not a good chance that Kulikov replaces Russell in the lineup.
I dont disagree, and not sure that is what will happen but we'll see. I am not a fan of Kulikov's game but we'll see. Their left handed Dmen (other than Nurse) have been a disappointment. It's sad that Koekkoek was one of their better Dmen earlier this season. This trade pretty much tells you he's done for the regular season at least. Was actually looking forward to him returning, as sad as that is. I expect he's there to replace one of Jones/Laggesson who have been in and out of the lineup themselves due to their inconsistent play. I dont foresee Russell coming out.
