Evgeny Kuznetsov has been put on waivers by the Washington Capitals to give him a new environment and fresh start in his career. A move that wasn’t “expected” but has been seeing signs over the past few seasons. Kuznetsov has a high cap hit of $7.8 million over the next two seasons making him unlikely to be claimed by many teams around the NHL. The Blackhawks have enough cap to claim Evgeny Kuznetsov with the new disciplined environment the Blackhawks have created recently.

I honestly see a playoff team trying to get him. Him going to a non playoff team would be better for him I think. To help him get back to his game and without added pressure/ stress of trying to produce for a playoff team.
Fire richardson, the guy is collecting a check for doing nothing.
Arizona could use it for Cap space the Coyotes should that one. 🏁
Great Video, as usual, guys. I'm in complete agreement about The Chicago Blackhawks need to claim him on waivers. He's likely going to really need a Fresh Start & Chicago would be A Great Place. It Certainly helped Jason Dickinson in the move to Chicago. Let me know what you think.
They should claim him.
Sloppy hockey are the hawks
The Hawks need to do one thing with the rest of this season. Find pieces to fit around Bedard for next year. If that means finding players who have skill, but need some new scenery, Kuznetsov could be it. I'd trade Seth Jones for an empty puck bag.
