Eh low risk with potential for high reward (an NHL player) so who cares. It's not like any assets are being given up.

Hi Veini.
(but in all seriousness VV was our 5th goalie on the depth chart. He had no future here.)

Love the player a lot but he’s apparently been a massive headache off the ice for Washington. We’ve been in the news enough for non hockey reasons recently.
Id certainly be interested but I am afraid of what would happen if he got away from the microscope.

For like two seasons he was the best player in the league but his head and heart are big questions. I know the canned response is offensively challenged team not interested in talented scorer’ but I’m pretty sure most of us believe some of the Jackets’ problems have to do with the collective attitude.

If Tortorella was staying, I'd consider it. He seems to need significant discipline work. As it is, my willingness to enquire would depend a lot on who ends up being Tortorella's successor and whether or not I'm confident that coach could bring him into line.
If Trotz couldn't straighten him out it's not going to happen. Whoever gets him is getting a problem in the room.

Trotz isn't there right now - and while he was there, Kuznetsov was still producing. So, lack of lasting impact, but still a suggestion that the right kind of discipline and supervision might help.
But yeah, I have serious worries there.
For a long time Washington has been great at making a team out of flawed stars and one-way talents, they've found a way to make it work. If the Kuznetsov thing has become too much for them then I can't see how the Jackets could handle it.

I literally pay zero attention to the Capitals. Was Kuznetzov the guy who got caught with coke and lied about it?

Not sure a guy who's only received Hart votes once (finished 19th) qualifies as the best player in the league for two seasons.
Good player, would probably be the best forward on the roster if acquired. He also counts $7.8m against the cap for the next four seasons. That'd be $13.675m tied up with him and Atkinson through 2025.

Hes played 25 games, and is only a -3 on this team, that for the most part had struggled to score more than 1 goal in the past 15 games or so. Hes been pretty solid.. not seeing the offensive side yet, but maybe as he settles in .

Came to post a hair-brained impulse proposal. Haven’t thought it out and deserve to be Flamed if it’s terrible. Have not considered CBJ needs for a moment even:
Clayton Keller and Christian Fischer for Max Domi and Liam Foudy.
Let er rip. Flame away.

Kinda interested in seein how bad I get mocked for this whole Domi and Foudy thing first. Kinda hung my hat on that one. Maybe if I get dick kicked outta here, I’ll slink back in later with that Laine thing.
