I would bet he improves his point totals.
Last year he was moved on and off line 1 and PP1. With a stable spot next to Petterson on line 1 and 100% PP1 he will get many chances.
Kuzmenko played 16:15 a night last year - 186th amongst forwards.
For some perspective, his point totals place him right in between Ovechkin and Gaudreau. They averaged 20:12 and 19:25 a game respectively.
Year 2 in the NHL probably sees Kuz's TOI spike. With any improvement from him as a player he may be in for a very special year.
this. shooting percentage may go down, but his shot volume should go up
