I like how vancouver is basically going all in on this season.
Win-win
Kuz doesn’t do structure but is super skilled and a fantastic dude
Uh. if he was the next coming of adam fox canucks wouldn't have moved him.. right now he's looks like he's more tyson barrie…
Better pan out for Vancouver THIS season. Imo they paid too much.
Vancouver is first in the league !
You got a happy guy in Kuzy. He'll light up the dressing room with his smile.
You get it now, the only reason we traded Hunter was no one could pronounce his name.
Brzustewicz was Van's 3rd ranked D prospect. Offense is there on a loaded OHL team but skating and defensive game might keep him out of the NHL. Team USA passed on him. Most are predicting a bottom 3 pairing PP2 guy.
I could right an essay on how wrong these guys are on players
Calgary has a new fleece coat 😂😂
Kuzy, came in to camp over weight and out of shape. His early play reflected that. He is learning the league still and the language. Good luck Kuzy we loved you in Vancouver.
It's pronounced "Broostevich." And I hate losing this guy.
hunter would be a hard sign for vancouver. he see's his role as a quinn hughes type offensive defence man and quinn probably isn't going anywhere. and why did the USA world junior team do a hard pass on him?
Does Buddy to any prep for the show, can't pronounce the names properly, doesn't know how many goals Kuzmenko scored last year….I stopped listening about a minute in, why ask for his opinion if he doesn't want to prepared to give a informed one?
Kuzmenko will forever be chasing that rookie season. He shot an ungodly 27 percent. He was a 26 year old rookie no coaches had seen yet to gameplan.
Plus, while being nimble and shifty, he’s not as fast as you would like for a guy that size in the top 6.
I think both teams won on this deal. The Canucks needed a very good 2nd line defensive centermen, and the Flames got a bunch of picks and prospects plus they got Kuz at a bottomed out price…
John seems to consistently have great takes. This is why I am subscribed. Keep on being awesome and smart John Scott.
