Why trade your UFAs futures when you can re-sign them and stay mediocre forever?

Would've made more sense to trade him for at very least a first round pick. Canucks aren't going anywhere this year and are likely going to be treading water for the next two seasons.

Apparently him and Pettersson get along well so I've been under the impression that keeping him is apart of keeping Pettersson next season.

5.5 is a good value for Kuzmenko, however it doesn't make sense for Vancouver to keep him, when they could have trade him for something.

value-wise the contract is fine, but it makes zero sense for them to resign kuzmenko when they could've gotten a haul for him... which is what they need to do

Nice value contract from what he showed so far, just the wrong move for the team

Should 100% have traded him

Agreed. They should have traded Miller at the deadline last year. Instead inked him to an extension and a contract that no team will want. Oh, and VAN is a dumpster fire.

good value for the sign, but Vancouver is merely treading water atm, they cannot commit to winning or losing for a purpose, and this is going to be seen as a catalyst for this
Good sign, but awful timing
Wonder if this signing is to try to get people to forget the bruce boudreau situation

He earned the money. He's becoming a core piece for us that we need to keep long-term though. I would've preferred 5.5 @ 5 years though.

In my opinion, kuzmenko should have been traded. Whether you want to view him as a rental or not, chiarot as a rental got a 1st+ and while that will never happen again, kuzmenko is worth a 1+a B level prospect at the least+a later round pick

Who said they still can't? Maybe having a great deal like this for the next two years makes him even more valuable? Not like that will actually happen because its Vancouver, but still...

What a bunch of clueless armchair GM's in this thread. I'm glad no one runs an NHL team that is no where near as ignorant as you dummy's. Apparently trading him for a second round pick will improve the team. next year. If you believe that, you have the intellect of a 10 year old gamer.






I look forward to seeing him continue his 24% shooting percentage

On paper this is an excellent signing. Just not sure what the longterm plan is. His stock is super high right now. Why not cash in and stock up on high draft picks?

well, when they are still bad in 2 years they can still trade him for a first.

Good contract, confusing time... Why aren't you trying to sign your captain instead of Kuzmenko? I voted yes because good contract and easily movable if needed

Not saying I disagree with you, but he would've went for a lot more than a 2nd round pick at the deadline. Because of the flat cap the last couple years teams have less cap space at the deadline than ever before. A guy like Kuzmenko who already has 20 goals, is close to a point per game, and makes less than 1 million would have been pure gold to a contending team this season. I would think a first round pick would have been the minimum they got back for him
