Former Maple Leafs forward Nikolay Kulemin is attempting to resume his NHL career with an Atlantic Division rival after signing a PTO.

Kulemin last played in the NHL six seasons ago for the New York Islanders. Since that time, he has played in the KHL for Magnitogorsk Metallurg and Ufa Salavat Yulayev. The 38-year-old will now be making the trip back to North America after signing a PTO with the Ottawa Senators.
Kulemin was a very well-liked player during parts of six seasons with the Maple Leafs from 2008 to 2014, particularly while playing on a line with Mikhail Grabovski and Clark MacArthur. Unfortunately, he was not happy with his role and departed as a free agent, joining the Islanders.
Drafted in the second round of the 2006 draft, Kulemin skated in 669 career regular season games with the Leafs and Islanders, registering 121 goals and 274 points.
