Kuzmenko continues to struggle to earn the trust of the Vancouver Canucks coaching staff.
The bar has been set in Vancouver, and clearly there is a disconnect between what the player provides and what the organization wants him to be.
Easily defined. Has, historically, been a streaky scorer dating back to his time in Russia (KHL)
Somewhat of a PP specialist - rips pucks from the weak side flank and can be NHL goalies clean from range. Hard to knock off the play around opponents net and below the goal line. Average plus skater. Average three zone detail. Element is offense.
Not likely to change his stripes. A 3F / 2F at even strength but a 1st unit PP contributor.
Has to be accepted for what he is and how he goes about his business. Proven he can score.
