Proposal: Evgeny Kuznetsov

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Why is this a thread?

I love your positivity, but this is just an absolute terrible idea. You're taking on a cap dump for free.

To show you how horrendous and how much the Habs should stay away from him, I'd hesitate to trade Gallagher for him.

 

[sbhatt]

You seriously want to risk picking up a guy with a coke problem who carries a 7.8M cap hit?!

Easy now....even a drugged out Kuznetzov outproduces Gallagher by a fair margin. If Caps were taking Gallagher off our hands, with his term remaining vs. just one more year for Kuznetzov, I'd jump.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Worth it for the hawk-like celly when he scores.

You're exaggerating, I'd trade Gallagher for Kuznetsov without blinking.

Gallagher sucks. His contract sucks. You need those "good pros" and while Gallagher is one we can do without, Kuznetsov is not a "good" pro.

His presence would just do more damage than help anywhere.

You'd do the trade in the offseason and buy Kuznetsov out right away.

 

[Habs13]

Maybe he can help ummm... put a little jump in guys like the wonky donkey. Get him going so to speak.

Seriously though... Montreal nightlife would be best friend and worst enemy. Good times. Career ending.

His presence wouldn't be anywhere near the roster and Gallagher would be gone. 2 birds, 1 stone. You can forget about it though, because Washington would never do this trade to begin. Getting rid of 3 years of Gallagher is harder than burying a substance abuser.

I'd trade Gallagher for a half-eaten McRib.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Not exactly the influence you'd want for a young team.

 

[Habs]

Are Semin and Alzner available too?

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm all for claiming him.

Keep him and trade him in off-season with retention or next year with retention.

 

[dinodebino]

Nope. Unless you have a side gig with the Hells to pass some, ahem, merch.

 

[Kojo]

What the f*** why is this thread still up.

 

[habsterr]

Kuznetsov on coke is a great player with a terrible cap hit. Without coke he's trash player and he's likely to be a team cancer.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Mods please remove that player discussion flair

 

[GHJimmy]

Bro april fools is still a month away

A player with over 700 games gets waived. That's how you do business.

What do you mean?

I say if a player is no longer helping them team, they shouldn't be on the team.

Habs fans sure love their washed up big names. Pass.

You mean like Monahan? Oh wait.

I'm all for claiming him.

Keep him and trade him in off-season with retention or next year with retention.

He could a better 3c than Dvo.

But emphasis on 3c. If a player has been doing cocaine long enough, it can seriously affect their body and in turn play. I've seen it many times.

 

[Scintillating10]

He is on waiver right now, Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton and all Habs fan wanted a really good top 6 player.

That's a chance to take that top 6 forward free!!

Let's do it!!

Welcome to the Habs my man!!!

Not really, 32 years old with issues. Potential Conflict with our culture. Plus 8 million next year. Going to stop us from making another move this summer . Too much money and too much risk for me.

What if there are no other moves to make with the cap space?

I mean I take Monahan over kuzy, but it's not looking good for Monahan to return.

 

[NORiculous]

I actually want the Canadiens to acquire him, but no interest in having him play for the Habs. They could get some real good assets for taking his contract from the Capitals, and then they could just drop him.

The assets they would get is not worth the risk + salary retention.

Is it fact that..that's why he was in the assistance program because of coke or are all you guys just making assumptions

There was a video of him in a hotel with what was pretty clearly cocaine next to him.

Then a year later he goes onto the player assistance program.

Then he gets out after a very short time.

Then his team puts him on waivers.

All not good signs.

Didn't a teammate of his say he was on the candy during the whole 2018 run ?

Lol when it said Monahan over 'Suzy' I was like what??

Yes I think I'm missing another incident.
