Confirmed with Link: Kuznetzov (50%) for 2025 3rd

[MinJaBen]

Hear me out: this is really not going to end up being anything. It won’t hurt us but won’t move the needle.

Might hurt in the offseason when we are trying to sign some contracts and his is taking up space.

Kuznetsov at 2 yr / 3.9m AAV for a third round pick is just good business all around. I'm sure Washington is happy. I'm happy to have another guy competing for 2C -- especially a veteran with playoff pedigree. If he sucks, he sucks. Not a big deal. Maybe playing for a playoff team will rejuvenate him a bit.

 

[Stickpucker]

This is what we need

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I mean to those who think Drury was doing good enough as a 2C, this is how desperately different management thought.

And what they currently think of KK as well.

Could be this, could be a two part solution to the problem of offensive finish. Drury’s current slot may have less to do with it than the lack of gamebreaker (in playstyle, not slot).

Probably a good bit of both.

Where are all the i trust the borg I trust our scouts truthers now?!

If he sucks, we have burned at least 1 million just to buy him out or 3.9 million of cap space when we dont have any to spare next year.

If there’s one guy I trust to get Kuzy going it’s Rod

 

[Stickpucker]

I had a suspicion this might be a move Carolina made. Rod gushed about Kuznetsov at the all-star game that one year.

Show us the receipts

 

[Borsig]

I’ll repeat myself.

If he doesn’t work… SEND HIM TO THE FRONT.

To face our panzer iii. Fitting

I'm sure there are some poster who have an idea about which defenseman to get rid of.

Is there any move that would make you happy or are you just trolling at this point

In Rod we trust.

Oh captain our real captain.

Someone stitch a C into his suit.

Im not sure how you get excited about this move based on his last 2 seasons. Going to get someone that actually makes sense for team at a reasonable price would be nice.

I guess you missed the Guentzel deal last night? Man you’re hard to please. Name me the players you wanted them to get realistically

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I'm more in the "I Don't Know" camp than actively for or against. This is a massive locker room risk based on what we know about this guy. It's also an open question as to why his play and on-ice results tanked the last couple of seasons. But before that, he absolutely played at a star's level. Do the Canes trust Rod, Jordo, and (almost certainly) Orlov to keep him on the straight-and-narrow?

since you are just trolling me, ill pass on listing them

I mean you're risking 1.5% of the cap for a guy who was a PPG player less than 2 years ago. It's the kind of risk you should take in an effort to not be the fourth best team every season.

being a PPG player is nearly meaningless when he stood around and watched the other team on you on the regular.

if he was a pending FA, no issue. its a whatever risk. That 2nd year is a huge no and should have been.
