They are both LD and similar size. Agreed that they are quite similar in potential but you need some redundancy in the pipeline as they don’t all turn out. Lundkvist is an RD though and may pair well with OEL if OEL stays more defensive as he did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat podz free agent copp hoglander motte free agent highmore That’s a lot of goals missing from the lineup and putting a lot of faith that Malkin can still be a number 1 center. I don’t see that as a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 If JR can pull off getting Kuzmenko here, it would build a lot of confidence in what else he can do. I never felt confident with Benning at the helm, he was a little dopey, even getting fined on his first Draft. It was like Benning didn't do his home work when he brought in players (Ferland, Kassian, Player Name, etc.) or when he drafted (VIrtanen, Juolevi, etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, people getting mad at him for taking their time are kinda acting entitled and silly. This is a young man trying to make a massive life decision, who was open about it from day one saying he was in zero rush to jump into anything. 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Based on the clips Ive seen he’s a pretty shifty player. Reminds of me Hoglander. He drove to the net pretty hard in the K-hopefully NHL defenders dont frighten him lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kinda funny because everyone here seems to want access and “news,” but then some people want to complain about the whole media/social media “production” behind Kuz making his decision and the process behind it. In the past, basically the same sort of “decision” process would happen, but there’d be no coverage and we wouldn’t get any details. There’d just be a brief signing announcement in the local sports media from the team he picked. It’s easy enough to go back to the old way. Just don’t read any of the coverage. But for those who are interested, there’s more media available than ever, which is a good thing IMO. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the drama is coming from Dhaliwal, not Kuzmenko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Coilers it will be one and done. With us he would have a spot with the group going forward, especially after we dump Garland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Lundkvist at all and would prefer we hold out for a player who is actually useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan is to move Garland once we sign Kuzmenko. Wasn’t there lots of chatter about Garland for Marino, or was that just us on CDC? Maybe Kuzmenko signs and we trade Miller for Kravstov + Kakko? Lots of changes coming, and signing Kuzmenko could be the opening act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIller is going to be to expensive so I doubt he’s here after august regardless. hopfully we can add speed size throughout the line up this summer so we aren’t just pushed aside constantly. When guys like highmore are being praised for bouncing off and falling down on the 4th line forecheck it’s a clear indicator for the total lack of physicality this team has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
