But if Kuznetsov holds down Powerplay 2 (3 points in 28.1 minutes since joining Carolina, 6.41 PPP/60) does that keep him around?Odds are bad, but not zero.
Per NST, since Necas returned from injury on January 19th, Kuzentsov+Necas (w/o Drury) has been .66 GF/60 and .34 GA/60 worse than Drury+Necas (w/o Kuznetsov). Expected, it's .15 and 1.08 (!) worse respectively. How long of a leash do you give that?
If Rod opts to make the change on the 2nd line, Kotkaniemi is more a 4C than Kuznetsov.
I’m out of the honeymoon phase with him. He’s added nothing to the roster other than name value and some memorable quotes.
