Evgeny Kuznetsov: Part 3

[noptov]

I haven't followed this thread at all. Is Kuz still planning on coming after the olympic break?

After the break, sure, the question is how long after

 

[SimplySensational]

According to Vingnan, because Kuznetsov will be 22 on September 15th, his ELC will be 2 years.

 

[HunterSThompson]

Quick question: is Kuznetsov technically a free agent on June 1st if he goes unsigned?

@Kuzya92 go to Washingon and play with Ovechkin and Backstrom. Your a great player I've been waiting to see in NHL. Good luck and enjoy.

Basically after translating his entire twitter feed. Yea he's coming and soon lol.

 

[OviTaughtMe]

I had no idea he had a Twitter. Are we sure that is his legit account? He's being REALLY REALLY open about the whole thing.

Seems a little fishy

No this is his known twitter. He's had it for a really long time. Everyone and their mother in Caps media, PR for the Caps, the IIHF, etc. all follow him. It's for sure him he's just really open about everything like how he tweeted out his visa application earlier in the year.

Is there a chance he comes after the Olympics, or is it for sure after his season with Traktor is finished?

After the season is over. They hold the last playoff spot with 4 games left. Closest team is 2 points behind but only 3 games left, but the KHL uses the 3 point system, making the 64 point team with 4 games left still in contention.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

hopefully he gets here soon and saves the season

 

[trick9]

Well finally something interesting.

Here comes McPhee's job saving move!

 

[bishonen91]

Kuznetsov had said that he'll stay in KHL if they take him to Olympics. It's a big "FU" for them to have him leave mid - Sochi.

Also, there will be some kind of agreement since his contract ends March 30th officially. Just like for Radulov before

 

[Corby78]

Here comes McPhee's job saving move!

Still wouldn't be over here till the first week of march at the earliest if traktor doesn't make it. That gives him 18 games with the caps. They make the playoffs, now your looking at 14ish games. GMGM better hope were still in contention by then. And by "in contention" I mean for 7th, because a first round vs the flightless birds could be ugly.

 

[hb12xchamps]

I'm confused. Is he currently here now and going to join the team after the Olympics? Or is he just here to get his apartment and living situation situated for his arrival when the KHL season is finished?

 

[Raikkonen]

Did I told you Kuz will score last SO in the last game to give us playoff spot by 1 point?! I think I did lol

OK OK. Tanking for Nylander, I know. Sorry.

 

[Raikkonen]

Another theory. His good buddy Orlov told him we need left handed D with size and good skating abilitites.

 

[SimplySensational]

Corey Pronman @coreypronman
Ovechkin. Except not as skilled, fast, physical or good a finisher. RT @mjkilkeary: @coreypronman Who is a fair NHL comparable to Kuznetsov?

Pronman trolling.

He should be wearing those special Frank Underwood cufflinks then.

 

[MoJoSauce]

IIRC he can buy his contract out at anytime and come on over from the Radulov precedent so its not impossible that he comes over following the olympics on the plane with Ovi. His shoulder health is another question however

Radulov came over after Salavat's season ended, it is seemingly the exact same with Kuzya

 

[Holtbyisms]

Can't wait to see a natural winger centering a natural center playing wing. I mean it would be dumb to play Mojo at center and Kuzya at wing, right? If I knew anything...
