DeNiro Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) To everyone saying it was a no brainer that he would sign in Edmonton. You were right. It would take someone with no brain to sign in Edmonton. Luckily AK seems to be pretty smart! Edited June 21, 2022 by DeNiro 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Great news with signing of Kuzmenko 26, 5'11, 195 lbs...Allvin and management team did a great job adding this talented player.. Lets see how good he is after 30 games NHL is faster then KHL and more gritty... So new country and adjusting to new systems..Lets hope he gets off to a great start.. Will help having Podkolzin on the team...They also played together in the KHL... GP 75 -- G 18 --PTS 34--38 -( 13--15 mins.) ...would be a good first season lets not have high expectations..Great signing and helps depth of forwards.. Going to be a exciting off season its just starting... Go Canucks Go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jim Rutherford effect on display in full force. "Kuzmenko was impressed"...now it's his turn to impress JR, PA, BB and earn that multi-year multi-million dollar ELC+1 contract. Pulling for Kuzmenko to be everything that he's been advertised to be. Nice work, Jim, Patrick, Bruce and Dan (Milstein), to make this a reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read a few times his visit was a big factor in this decision. Along with Allvin’s past relationship with him it’s nice to finally get a positive outcome on one of these sweepstakes for once. Nice to add a high skill LW into the fold after Hoglander had an off year. Tons of firepower heading into next season as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 47 minutes ago, J-P said: It's a win no matter how you slice it. Think Allvin maybe had more to do with this than most realize. I read somewhere earlier that Alvin started working on signing Kuz before the ink dried on his contract to become GM of the Canucks. He worked for a long time and very hard to get Kuz. Alvin made Kuz decide he was most likely going to be a Canuck well before the interview tour to the other 4 teams. Him and his agent just doing due diligence and hearing the pitches from other teams. See how other teams approached the process. But Kuz knew unless something spectacular happened during trips to these other teams he was going to be a Canuck. Alvin had been selling Vancouver and making Kuz feel Canucks saw him as a core piece for the next 5+ years. Alvin had built a connection months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
