Kuzmenko might be worth close to Chychrun, since both can produce offense, but are questionable defensively. Kuzmenko needs to be more consistent while Chychrun is injury prone and needs to prove he can stay healthy
Mangiapane is a very good two-way forward, but yeah, he’s over paid by at least $1.3-1.8mil/yr given his lack of goal production over the past 2 seasons
Definitely need to add something to Mang and possibly a sweetener to Kuzmenko, but given the Flames lack a High End finisher and how well Kuzmenko produced for them, they should only sell high on him unless he won’t extend for whatever reason
I’m not high on Chychrun personally. I’d rather find a Big Mean D-Man and see what Poirier & Kylington can do for us on the Left side offensively. Weegar, Andersson & Miromanov are all offensively talented already with Brzustewicz a Future Offensive Top Prospect for the Flames already as well. IOW - We need more of a Stay at Home/Defensive/Penalty Killing Specialist to replace Tanev at this time
