Waived: [WSH] F Evgeny Kuznetsov waived by the Capitals (cleared)

[Matty Sundin]

They been wanting to get rid of him for a few years now.

 

[TrufleShufle]

I don't understand the initial reaction of rage?

 

[MMC]

 

[Jared Dunn]

then why is the gm going to speak? thats just my thought, who knows

I think the only way they could terminate is if he didn't make an attempt in the program, but it sounds like he completed it. I wonder if it's just to clarify that they want him to get his game back in the minors

 

[Sol]

SIGN THIS MAN

 

[bleedgreen]

I get that they are disappointed with him, but doing this the day he is cleared from the NHLPA's assistance program is just complete bullshit.

I’m gonna guess there’s more going on behind the scenes than we ever will know that justify it if that’s the case. They know there’s a black eye they take doing it. If they feel it’s still the right thing to do knowing that then there’s a bigger story here.

I don't trust pink sweaters

 

[drede]

Conditioning stint in the ahl and try for a trade maybe

 

[TrufleShufle]

This is such bullshit they would do this to him, fresh start must be code for something, it has to be or my anger is for nothing.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Welcome to the Isles, Lou loves guys with character

 

[Little Psycho]

How much cap space does Vegas have again?

That would be the worst place for him to end up. Temptation way too high there

 

[Zirakzigil]

Slightly tempted to see how he’d work out in Calgary with Hube and Kuzy/Sharangoalvich.

Slightly

 

[drede]

Avs need a center

without knowing all the details, dont forget this isnt the first or the second time this occured. this is strike 3 for him

 

[bleedgreen]

ur little bird celebration isnt so hot now is it buddy

How many bitter years have you spent waiting to say that?

 

[Sol]

As long as he hasn’t forgotten about Dre

 

[drede]

Whens the press conference anyone know?

 

[Maninthebox87]

He has unquestionably negative value. 7.8 million for an additional season, hasn't been productive in two years and has a relatively poor attitude

Wow I haven’t seen him play much lately but how far he has fallen…. Probably back to Russia

 

[TrufleShufle]

I'm joking, we have no information, there is no reason for anyone to be emotional in anyway about this.

To him? Sounds like they are doing it for him

 

[PredsV82]

Damn, wonder if Trotz would want to snag him for the Preds.

 

[drede]

If it's mutual I'd take him on the leafs 1y cheap deal see if he can get back on track

 

[CraigBillington]

Capitals are such a shitty organization. I guess the dude going out of his way to seek help wasn’t enough.

Going by a comment McLellan made, it seems like Kuz wanted a fresh start, so i wouldnt be surprised if this was a step discussed between both sides

 

[Leonardo87]

Folks,

I know you are tempted but can we please leave out the assumptions of why he is being waived and refrain from the jokes as well, even if we can connect all the dots.

Thanks!
