The Boston Bruins are reported to be one of the teams most interested in trading for Kulikov.
The 25-year-old has one year remaining on a contract that carries an average annual valuation of $4,333,333, and can become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
The Panthers, however, are believed to also be talking to Kulikov about a possible a contract extension.
Kulikov was drafted 14th overall by the Panthers in 2009, and has averaged 0.30 points per game with a 49.2 Corsi For rating in all situations in 460 career regular-season games, according to Hockey Reference.
