Wait... Someone else is looking past good point totals and noticing that he doesn't look all that good and has horrendous analytics!!!!!

Since Backstrom has returned, Kuzy has played lazy like Semin, almost like he is pouting because he is not top line.

I like Strome, and if he doesn't work out, you can always trade him for Spooner, and then flip Spooner for Gagner....

Kuznetsov and Panarin together would be pretty sick. Not excited about giving that away, within the division. You sure that's all you want back?

Yikes. Trading a top 15 center for literally nothing is always good. Can we maybe trade Ovechkin for rust? How about Carlson for butcher? Advanced analytical guys are always the worst. Hypothetically this guy is better bc he could potentially score or prevent x amount. Does he ever produce or prevent x amount ? No? Well know but his advanced stats say he could?!? Ugh ?. Kuzy is an absolute stud and you don’t trade guys like him for garbage.

Eli, probably not enough, and not sure why I picked Rangers. Would rather be coach and give him Nacho duty for a night to get his attention. Frustrating!

AnAlYtIcS. Pretend points > actual points!!!!! All day everyday.

This is the equivalent of penguin fans bashing malkin for being “lazy” guy can produce but let’s focus on what he’s not doing. Capitals are unbeatable right now unless you are the CBJ just calm the f down and enjoy the ride. Kuzy is what he is but I’ll take 32 points in a playoffs over slightly better defensive stats

Capitals can try to move him to wing next year and let mcmichael play #3 center. Move eller up

I say one word about analytics and that's all you read, you don't read the part about how every caps fan I talk to except apparently you have seemed to conclude that Kuzy's eye test has sucked this year

Every caps fan also wanted to trade Holtby 2 months ago also based off the eye test. They also thought orloc was terrible. 2 years ago they wanted to sign shatt and trade Carlson. Caps fans are fair weather and have short memories. Kuzy is exactly the same and he’s an elite center. He’s 100% offensive. Nobody complained when he carried us to a cup right? Again people aka caps fans are idiotic and need something to complain about. He’s going to score 80’points that’s what you get with him pair him with Wilson and chill the f out

The only analytic I don't like about Kuznetsov is when his faceoff percentage and his goals are below fifty. Moving him to wing should fix at least the first one, and give him a better chance at the second.
