They won 35 with the same lineup minus JVR…

2.8 per year is nothing for a guy that allows Grabovski to do the things he can do.

Don’t look at the numbers, watch the games. Kulemin is probably the hardest working guy on the ice and he’s a madman on the puck.

I would’ve liked to have seen a another year or two on that contract just to save money. I have a feeling he’ll be just fine the next two seasons and he’ll be a hot commodity in two years.

The bottom 6 looks like an nice start for a new AHL team. With that lineup, the Leafs will be lucky to win 30 games.

If Kulamin can get back to the 20+ goal Mark this is a good deal. However, if he can’t break the 10 goal mark I believe Kulamin would be best served on an energy type line to add a bit of scoring depth to the bottom 6.

*vanRiemsdyk Kessel Lupul
Grabovski MacArthur *Komorov/*Kadri
McClement Kulamin Connelly.
Steckle Brown Lombardi

Not a terrible bottom 6.
