Kulemin inked a professional tryout agreement with the Senators on Thursday. - Kulemin hasn't played in North America since the 2017-18 campaign. He had 13 goals and 25 points in 46 regular-season outings with the KHL's Ufa Salavat Yulayev in 2023-24. At his height in the NHL, Kulemin had 30 goals and 57 points in 82 contests with the Maple Leafs in 2010-11, but at the age of 38, he's unlikely to serve in more than a bottom-six role if he makes the Senators' roster at all. |
