Nikolai Kulemin has heard the rumblings, the talk about how he'll be seduced by the money in Russia's Kontinental Hockey League and return to his homeland at the end of the season when he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

The 23-year-old said that's been the speculation in the Russian newspapers.

But Kulemin, who has been playing some excellent hockey on the Maple Leafs' top line of late, said Saturday that he doesn't want to go anywhere. He wants to remain in Toronto.
