Thread: Kuznetsov to VGK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dontwhine2me</b></div><div>Yea..... a 2C being paid like a performing, good leader 1C.
Easy pass unless Caps are eating a few mil each season.
Dont need a 7.8 2C who may or may not even be available on a nightly basis.
That playoff series vs Pitt is just too long ago. But it's his shining moment.
Washington be best served trying to fix him and then selling.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dontwhine2me</b></div><div>He has to be on the ice to notice him.


7.8 mil for a 2C with his recent history.... no thanks.
He would be cap casualty in any other sport.
He is not worth his cap hit.... hes 29 turning 30.
Bright lights behind him now..... craps should try and fix him but that's going to take alot of cocaine.</div></div>

I actually am probably one of few fans that hope the Caps keep Kuzy. I think he has a solid year this upcoming year (after being put on notice that he needs to step up or leave). I look at center options this offseason and don't really see many better than Kuzy.

To say he would be a cap causality in any other sport is a pretty odd statement. Yes he has off-ice issues, but he had performed great from 2015-2018 and well enough over the last two seasons to give him some leeway (that is running out). Look at other athletes in sports (NBA and NFL especially). There are way bigger "troublemakers" that played long careers compared to Kuzy. A drug infraction that was dismissed by the NHL (as seen by only a 3 game suspension) and getting COVID twice during a national pandemic...not that big of a deal compared to other sports.

And just for your knowledge - he will be owed only $3 million for the 21-22 season (after his signing bonus is paid in July, which is $5mil). Once that is paid, he will only be owed $24 million of his $62.4 million contract over the remaining four seasons ($6 million per season)
