Since the NHL trade deadline is a mere three months away, here's something worth remembering: When a player is scratched, that doesn't mean he's about to get moved.Example A: Florida Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov, who won't play on Tuesday night Jerome Robinson Jersey against the Ottawa Senators. That's not surprising; Kulikov, 22, has struggled in certain areas for most of the season, and he Tobias Harris Jersey made enough turnovers to annoy coach Peter Horachek.Horachek was asked on Saturday, after Kulikov created a Pittsburgh Penguins goal, whether it was time to sit him down: "I think were at that point."So Tuesday didn't come out of nowhere. Kulikov isn't sitting out to prevent an injury that would wreck his value to, say, Wesley Johnson Jersey the Toronto Maple Leafs. His coach didn't like the way he was playing, said so, then made the move."I think most of this is mental. The mistakes I have made werent forced," . "I shouldnt have made them. What happened, happened, just work hard to get it out of me and not worry about it.": he's got just three points in 27 games, Rodney McGruder Jersey partially because of an atypically low shooting percentage (2.7 percent), and he plays lots of even-strength minutes against fairly tough competition while keeping the ice tilted in Florida's direction.No, his development hasn't been as quick as anticipatedhe's in his fourth Patrick Beverley Jersey full NHL season after Florida picked him 14th overall in 2009. Yes, he makes his share of mental mistakes, but he's talented and valuable enough. He's just not on the move. Yet.
