Assuming that's the case, Nikolai Kulemin will finish up a disappointing season with a 7-21-28 line in 70 games, less than half of his 57-point output from last season. (Updated 04/02/2012).
03/19/2012 09:52 Neutral Zone Wrap: Dealing with stretch-run stress
The stress of handling your Fantasy team down the stretch can drive you crazy. Evan Berofsky tries to calm your nerves in his latest edition of Neutral Zone Wrap.
Kulemin is a first-line beast -- there's no other way to describe him. And his career trajectory is still pointed up. He protects the puck well, has a nose for the net (to go with an eye for his own zone) and his wrister may someday rip the leather off an opposing goalie's paw. He, Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke MacArthur made beautiful music together last season and they're back for more this year. And to top it off, he's in a contract year and is looking at a much bigger payoff than he signed last time out. All in all, we like his situation. Don't wait too late on him; he won't be around as long as you think. (Updated 10/4/11)
