Thread: MTL fans would you be interested in Kuzmenko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habs420</b></div><div>ya I mean we would be fine with parting with Kovy, something has to give from a salary perspective. I know it would be kind of weird cause he was traded at the start of the year but pearson kind of makes sense in addition. Or we are able to fix our cap elsewhere before that trade (or a 3-team trade).</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>In this scenario, depends on the cap space, but I doubt they'd be super interested.



Montreal was in the 2021 Cup Finals, that some point isn't next season.</div></div>

I ran the trade (Kuzmenko for Kovacevic) on the trade machine simulator and there are no cap issues for MTL.

My idea is Kuzmenko is a talented player that could have real upside in Montreal either as a longer term fit or by playing well enough to be flipped next year at the deadline for a decent return.

I appreciate the insight here though. Sounds like consensus is they might take him but don't expect a big return and there is certainly the possibility that they just aren't interested in adding to the cap for next year in this manner.
