Kulikov has played well all season really, a few dumb **** decisions that have cost a few goals but nothing major really, he's like Myers was in that they play better when they're getting top 4 minutes and tasked with more responsibility imo, neither guy was great on the 3rd pair, not terrible but definitely better when in the top 4. As for bringing him back idk, at say $2.5M tops for a couple seasons that might be okay but not much more $$ or term then that.
Definitely think they should bring Beaulieu back, he's a solid 3rd pair dman, honestly I've liked all the Jets dmen this year aside from Bitetto and even he's been okay in some games but he really shouldn't be brought back.
If they go the free agency route Edmunson and Hamonic would be good additions especially Hamonic cause of his leadership qualities but both guys will want a lot of term which is an issue, am okay with giving Edmunson a longer deal but Hamonic being 30 is concerning, doubt he's gonna age well considering his style of play.
I have doubts that Lowry is gonna be any better then Shore is at 4C, really should of traded him a long time ago. Really wonder why they don't give Griffith a callup from the Moose and a look, the guy racks up points in the AHL and has looked good in preseason games, wish this organization was a little more experimentative with its lineup.
