Wasn't Kulikov pretty bad last year? The price and term both seem pretty high for a 3rd pairing guy, unless Chevy has a trade cooking. But

kulikov broke his rear end in the final preseason game and it nagged him the entire season. he never made it close to 100% healthy. hard to judge much based off of last year

Conversely, if this gets them Duschene that's not terrible. You can get by with an incredible top 3. Their lack of forward depth was a major issue last year and that Fiala injury is worrisome.

You know he's the villain, because he's got shifty eyes.
Not only is Emelin bad, he's a cheap shotting piece of poo poo. Sorry Perds fans. I guess if your coach is smarter than Therrien you can give him extremely sheltered minutes but why pay 4.2M for a fringe 5-6 guy when you could dress anyone else? Unless this is just the starting move to send him back to Montreal...

OK now I just made myself sad. Well, sadder.

I realize that there aren't many D left on the market right now but Emelin is a net negative on the ice and costs $4M/year. There isn't literally anyone else they can sign to bury on the 2nd/3rd pairing?

To my vague memory he was one of those guys in the draft that everyone talks up like "oh he has a ton of skill, he's really good, I can't believe such and such team passed on him to pick this other guy" but ultimately just never made the jump to the NHL

he had a great post draft year in the WHL and then another great one after that, and then a good AHL rookie season scoring 31 goals but...just never stuck in the NHL. Not sure if the Blues wouldn't give him a chance or he had issues going up to the NHL

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!
What's that Poile guy doing? Is this adding a 5th D since our 3rd line got wasted in the Finals? Or is this reinforcements for maybe an Ellis or Ekholm trade? I'm not sure if Duchene is worth it.

He still hasn't served his 4 game NHL suspension, and the AHL didn't honor it so if they ever want to call him up that still applies.
