This is a real discovery for me đź’‹
if tocchet is going to use him as the whipping boy all year then might as well trade him. i like him he scored 39 goals last year it was no fluke. the guy is like a shark stealthy and unnoticeable and by the end of a game he has 2g2a i say keep him but if rt is gonna have a problem with him then move him.
What they said ^
If someone offers a 1st or a bundle of decent non-1st picks for Kuzmenko, we should do it. It's like buying draft picks since we only paid money to acquire him.
Kuzmenko choosing to sign in Vancouver instead of playing with some combination of McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins, Hyman, and/or Kane will never make sense to me.
I really don't want the Canucks to give up on Kuzy, but having said that, if the offer is really really good then I guess I wouldn't mind it too much. But preferably I hope we keep him.
Is Sportsnet paying for bots to comment? I'm seeing the same comments no matter what the video is about.
I'd think it would have to start with a 1st round pick, lottery protected, and a sweetener
F*ck no. Gotta be kidding me
It is an opportunity to take up a top 4 right-handed D and a 1st rounder for Kuzy and Canuck's 3rd rounder.
Jesus…how long has Landeskog been out?
If he can garner us a top 4 RHD to replace Myers, I say do it. Otherwise no way. Kuzy is great, just having a cold streak right now.
Kuz + Meyers bundle = cap space
If the team dumps Kuzmenko, then they seriously WON’T make the playoffs with their current roster. I can guarantee you that. Kuzmenko has been the start of this teams success when he first step foot on the ice in a Canucks uniform. Last year he’s made more headlines than that giraffe has with his success than that giraffe with his pathetic giveaways, yet this team is willing to release this young talent just for cap space. I can give you a handful of guys that you can dump, maybe 1 in particular with his pathetic giveaways. Kuzmenko has a lot of talent, the coach just isn’t willing to let go of his ego of “my way or the highway” attitude. His system may work and how it a system if all you’re telling your guys is lose the bad habits. Shet anyone can figure that one out.
