The last place where a guy with substance addiction need to be is MTL . I'm nightlife retired now but i used to be a party animal and partied in many towns in Canada ans a couple times in the U.S. No place compare with MTL except maybe Vegas and some crazy resorts in the Carribeans.
We may not have won a cup in 30+ years but we still have the best Nightlife in North America lol
I wish this player well. I hope he didn't snort away all of his millions and I hope the player assistance program he just completed made him realize that the battle continues. One day at a time!

As a bored Habs fan, who's enjoying stockpiling youth being at the bottom of the league but not enjoying the process, the day to day, of being at the bottom of the league, it would be fun to add Kuznetzov for say two of Armia, Dvo, and Allen.
The cap hits would even out and all deals would be up by summer 2025. Would be fun to see what kuzy could do. Though of course Hugjes would have to do his due diligence to make sure kuzy wouldn't be a bad influence on the youth.
In some ways, a Bryan Fogarty type story. Are Kuznetsov's abilities worth the effort that would be needed to clean him up and would he be able to deal with the constant scrutiny if he played here? If yes, then Washington would have kept him.

I wouldn't be opposed to trading for him if Hughes and company did their due diligence and gave the go ahead. It's not as simple as saying him and the MTL nightlife is a bad mix, when your a rich athlete any NHL city will offer those temptations.
If Gallagher for Kuznetsov was actually on the table then that's a no brainer for us because even in the worst of cases you simply buy him out over the summer and have a cap hit of 3.8 and then 2m which is huge savings over Gallagher's contract. It could even be good example for the young guys on the dangers of going down that road.

They can easily take Kovacevic in waiver, but when talent are there like Tolvanen and Kuznetsov. No way, Habs are afraid of talented players like that.
They can easily traded Kuz next year on deadline, but yeah you know, have fun with your superstar D Jonathan "can't make a pass" Kovacevic. What a pick-up, wow!!

If Kuznetsov had any value at 50% he'd be gone instead of waived. Caps were hoping a bottom feeding team would take him on but it's a dumb gamble if that team isn't receiving major compensation in the first place. They will simply buy him out in the summer. If they don't want to do that then I'm fine with taking him and buying him out if we get their 1st.

I mean, Mario Lemieux is definitely more talented than Evegeny Kuznetsov and we aren't offering him a deal either.
Also, the Caps are one of the few teams that are more goal-starved than the Montreal Canadiens. One would think they'd keep him if he could contribute.
Kuz like Galchy got involved in some funky business. Do you really want this guy in town? I mean the nightlife has taken a hit since Covid but there's lots, even more junkies out there than ever before. He's surely going to be a great role model for the kids. Not to mention, we once
had Drouin, although we will never truly know why he asked for a leave from the team. Anyways, be patient. Suzuki is showing flashes of a superstar recently, along with Slaf and Cole. The downside of having money is that some people blow it all away for temporary happiness in alcohol, gambling and drugs.

HuGo should do more of these moves. It's the only way to draft quality players or at least acquire great prospects through trades. He got two firsts for Monahan.
Bringing a dude with substance abuse problems is a bad decision for a rebuilding team
