Friedman: Washington running out of patience with Kuznetsov?

[KrisLetAngry]

Kuznetsov for Kotkaniemi!

I think you guys keep KK.
Has one more year in his ELC and shouldn't be that expensive unless he breaks out.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Who replaces him? Are they going to trade him for another Center straight up or what?

Trade him for a D and good middle 6 depth.
Sign Krejci in the offseason to play with Chara.

Problem-o solved-o.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Come on, man. That's not necessary.

It’s just facts the NHL is a rich league and most players like to party.

 

[MaxV]

On the one hand, I'd kill for his on ice play with Kaprizov... On the other, not sure I want his influence on him....

It's not like Kaprizov is a teenager. If anything, he might be a good influence on Kuzy, certainly seems more mature.

Ottawa offers chabot and stützle

 

[SomeDude]

Ottawa offers chabot and stützle

Assuming Dorian gets into Kuzy's stash?

 

[BHD]

Surely they aren't stupid enough to trade him because he was late for a meeting

More likely a totality of instances.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Ottawa offers chabot and stützle

No they don't, except if they want to tank their Franchise Chabot is the only legit top 4 in this team right now.

 

[bossram]

Maybe if he started sucker punching guys he might get back in the Caps good graces.

Trade the coke for WWE on ice and he'll be a Caps fan favourite again!

 

[DuklaNation]

In his interviews, is Kuznetsov sniffing a lot?

The interviewer was wearing a mohair sweater.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Looked to be breaking out into a true star centre and has gone backwards the last 2+ years. Something is up here.

cocaine is a hell of a drug

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Sometimes it seems that off-ice antics hurt player's trade value way more than what happens on-ice, I'm curious to see what the Caps get trading him. It might be lower than many people think.

 

[Just Linda]

The Kuznetsov to Calgary idea makes a lot of sense to me. Calgary is stuck in mediocrity and could use a player of Kuznetsov's skill for sure. Too bad Monahan has been sinking his value, a 1 for 1+ trade would've made sense a year ago.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If Washington is stupid enough to trade him, Minnesota should be all over it, pair him with Kaprizov (Sp?)

 

[Roshi]

Assuming Caps would pull the trigger they need someone equally or almost as good C back.. Assuming Kuzy has Detroit on NTC list.. Assuming Yzerman would be interested in breaking the team apart even more in front of the rebuild... Assuming Samsonov is under the same gun as Kuzy..

How abotu 3 way deal!

To Capitals; Dylan Larkin
To Nashville; Evgeny Kuznetsov
To Detroit; Ryan Johansen, Ilya Samsonov, NSH draft pick

Caps; Kuznetsov + Samsonov <-> Larkin
Preds; Johansen + pick <-> Kuznetsov
Wings; Larkin <-> Johansen, Samsonov, pick

ummmh...

Call within the next 15 minutes and the Capitals will include a bonus Lucas Johansen absolutely free!

 

[Draiskull]

Send him to Washington, they have a strong core. Ovechkin will keep him straight.

oh wait...

 

[Il Stugotz]

Wow, he was the difference maker on their only Cup team. Caps can't even get past the second round without him hulking out.

He can be pretty fantastic offensively when he feels like it, that's the problem. His defense/giveaways/lazy penalties/faceoff skill is what hurt's him the most. When he's not scoring he's not doing anything else either.

 

[Deebs]

I can see Kuzy going back to Russia to get that tax free money and no off ice rules

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

If Washington is stupid enough to trade him, Minnesota should be all over it, pair him with Kaprizov (Sp?)

It’s kinda a fun idea, but given everything we know about GM Guerin, Kuznetsov seems like one of the last players he’d bring in.

 

[Mick Jagr]

don't think this is a one off with him

I'm sure he's been on thin ice since the cocaine controversy.

 

[jetsforever]

Huh, that'd be unfortunate if they had to trade him because of off-ice stuff
