Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 23” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

1st to coment somehow keep kuzi for now. Its harder to find scoring talent & defence can be taught
sniffing around to see if the canucks wanted the cap space kuz would give them. not willing to offer anything of any value.
Tocchet is like most coaches. He has his favourites. They play a certain style. Pettersson, a 100 point player, was dropped to the 2nd line because Miller plays a style closer to how Tocchet played. Every coach has blind spots – except maybe Scotty Bowman. He could coach any type of player. Tocchet likes gritty guys who dig for pucks in corners and he’ll play a finesse player if they’re on a hot streak, but as we’ve seen with Elias, once you go a bit cold offensively, if you’re not a gritty player, you’re getting demoted. That’s why he loves Lafferty. There’s no question, Kuzmenko is a more talented player by a wide margin to Lafferty, but the way Tocchet wants everyone, even smaller finesse guys to play, he’s basically forcing Rutherford and Allvin to trade him – while destroying his trade value at the same time. Sure, maybe if they could get a top 4 defensive defenseman – but whether that’s a good idea or not, he won’t get that kind of return if Tocchet keeps destroying his value. You need all kinds of players to win and if you can only coach 3rd line grinders, that’s not a long term solution. It’s great to have a “system,” but if that system doesn’t allow for skill and all you’re getting are greasy goals, you’re the Coyotes and you’ll never win anything.
Rangers wanted Kuzmenko last season and y’all wouldn’t trade him 😂
It's hoagie
Trade Kuzmenko watch him snag 40 again in 3 seasons
Have we learned nothing from Boesers poor outing last season … don't trade Kuz , you'll regret it
It's called tough love. Sometimes a coach needs to push. And that's what's happening. How about sit back and relax, let's see what the player does.
I can see the impact Hendrick and Daniel has made in this team by some of the set plays like using the board to pounds puck off
Kuzy, and Myers in exchange for a decent top 4 defenseman and a 2nd round pick and I might consider a trade. We shouldn't be so quick to trade away our best players, I thought we loved Kuzy. I agree with their approach here and staying patient with him. Tocchet has to be fairer and understanding. He and media have been inappropriate.
They need to take a look at videos of Kuz last season and set him up for those same chances
another waste of my time on YouTube post to listen to ….shut off in 3seconds..once saw you playing some NHL game….thought this was actual humans talking etc.
Give him more minutes and he will show you his great play's and more goals🎉
Trade to Florida they had great asset plus right shot Defense and a forward
