Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Just trying to gauge which teams need a top 6 center and what trades would look like. He has a M-NTC that has 10 team no trade list. For some of these teams, Caps would have to retain which is fine

Kuznetsov-Kaprizov would be a fun duo, but Minnesota has cap problems

Kuznetsov and Larkin would be an upgrade for Detroit's center depth, but his personality may not mesh with Yzerman's outlook

Could he work in Florida to help dish to Tkachuk and help their center depth?

Could he be an option for Winnipeg if they lose PLD?

Would he offer more offense in LA between Kopitar and Danault as a 2C?

How about Calgary after they dropped the ball this season?

If Shane Wright continues to develop in the AHL, does Kuznetsov take over from Wennberg?

These are some destinations I've considered. Feel free to drop your thoughts below, especially on his value.

I thought wrong earlier today on thinking Kuznetsov would be an option for Detroit lol. Was helpful insight on what Yzerman might be looking for but still don't fully see why it wouldn't be considered at least considering their center depth is not great.

You would think the fit be good but Yzermam is really big on character and Kuzy has had his issues. He gave Vrana away for that reason.
