I’m saying he’s more valuable to us playing on Petey’s wing. This 1st round pick that may or may not have been offered is a fantasy. The value for these players is never as high as it should be. The players that teams covet at the deadline changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't change anything imo Speculation doesn't equal confirmed. Now it's confirmed. Hopefully it doesn't change anything, still a factor worth considering.

Nucker 67 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Kuzmenko at $5.5 will produce like a $8 player. What's not to like about that? Canucks will still get a really good return for him in two years at the 2025 TDL. Maybe much more than now.

The constant disappointment of this management group is becoming tiresome. At least JB got the odd base hit here and there. So acquiring a 30-goal scorer for FREE is not even considered a base hit? I would say it is a HOME RUN... 3 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeQuinnAndEggs Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) To the people saying they would rather a 1st then a 30 goal scoring kuz. Look at the list of Canucks first round picks outside of the top 10 in the last 20 years... hell look at all the picks besides petey Hughes and horvat This is a great move and contract by management Edited January 27, 2023 by BlakeQuinnAndEggs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 1st round pick that may or may not have been offered is a fantasy. The value for these players is never as high as it should be. The players that teams covet at the deadline changes. Joe Veleno was a 30th pick. He's now 23 and some are saying they don't want him in a Horvat trade. Veleno scored 104 points in junior as an 18 year old. So if Veleno can barely make the NHL what about the guy we pick this year at 30th overall? At the end of the day, we got Kuzmenko for FREE. There was no obligation to try and flip him for a pick. Obviously the management are going to try and trade Boeser and Garland isn't a top line player. Kuzmenko fits on the top line perfectly with Petey. People are saying that we could just have gone to free agency in the summer and got equivalent value for Kuzmenko. That's not true. Name one 27-year-old winger available in the summer who can score 30+ goals? The only guy that is available is David Pastrnak. I'm thinking he is going to sign for a little more than $5.5 million...

Increasing comfort with the NHL game should surely offset a slight age related decline in this case, wouldn’t you think? I really don’t think those averages make much sense in this case. Likewise I think his unique situation probably deflated his value as a rental. Better to sign him. I am willing to bet it will prove to be a great signing. Gonna be like a jagr. Age nicely could put up points till 40. The next sedin twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Keep hoping for the other shoe to drop and to hear that Brock or Garland have been traded so we can pay for this. Kind of handicaps us to be buying cap with prospects again if can’t. Will be on the market looking to replace Bo at C with less cap space if we don’t move both since seems like Miller likely staying.

I would say it is a HOME RUN... It is for sure a home run if they could turn him into a C or a Rhd. I love Kuzzi and his exuberance I would have no issue with the signing whatsoever for the record if we didn't just pay Brock 6.65m to play the same role except worse. We aren't contenders in the next 2 years. Kuzz is a luxury. If we were contenders right now I'd cough up the first to add him. But we aren't. He's one of the few trade chips we actually have that could return a long term gain and start us on a path to becoming a better team. Now we have another expensive winger and ho cap to fix our D or replace Horvat at C so it's subtraction by addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider it sure but I don't think theres much there, the reality of his availability has been known for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what we got for free: kuzmenko mikheyev johansson almost free: bear I can’t really fault them for boeser either, contract was fair for what he has done up until that point. miller at 8m wasn’t a bad deal, that’s the going rate for a point per game guy. If people wanna see a bad deal, look at the Huberdeau contract. Kuz deal is a straight up steal. The nhl is now about asset management, something benning was terrible at, something this group seems to be extremely competent at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel the Bure Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I would like to point something out. Historically, Vancouver was a no-go for Russian players (for different reasons: too far away, no other Russian players, weather, travel, and taxes). Finally, we got a good Russian for FREE, who is happy in Vancouver and fun to watch on the ice. No, let's screw up the chemistry in Vancouver for the future 2nd round, and nobody will come to play for us if we treat players badly. We always overpay in FA, but this is not an overpay by any measurement. Be happy and enjoy Kuzya and EP40 for the next two years at least. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m keen to see what they do with Horvat. If they nail that deal, they might just pull off the “retool”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
