Elliotte Friedman on the Winter Classic, Elias Pettersson’s contract, Andrei Kuzmenko and more
Hockey Night in Canada Insider Elliotte Friedman joined the guys and recapped the Winter Classic in Seattle and updated the latest with Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko.
I don't want Kuzmenko to be traded. But it's not about what I want. It pretty much appears he's a puzzle piece that doesn't fit this team, and like Frieds said, when he came into the league, a lot of teams wanted him. He's WAY too young to give up on, but given how Allvin and friends have been doing things, I'll understand if I wake up sometime this weekend and find out there's a new player on the team wearing 96.
Let EP walk. Guy is inconsistent and I question how much of a point monger he is. There has always been talk of guys chasing stats in this dressing room for year now. I dont think Petey is that selfish but there is something behind the scenes that is dictating more than what we are being told…
I for one have not been impressed with Petty's play this year. I don't know if it's contact press or what but with people talking 12 mil a year with his play so far I would have a hard time with 6 mil a year.
I don't care what you pay EP40 but light a consistent fire under his A$$ because this is getting worrisome. These guys are making millions, and we as fans deserve as such. Petey has the potential and skill to be a top tier Player in the game, but I need more to believe it.
Obvious its a coaching problem with Kuzy! 39 goals last year and benched by a bully this year! Get a coach..the one we have is only fit to be an assistant.
I am sure Pettersson turned down an offer of being captain, he also has turned down an offer to get signed. He states that the only thing he is interested in is winning and not money. I have to think Alvin and Co. are seeking the perfect winger for him. I do trust the pro scouts and the management team based on previous moves but that has to be job #1 right now. Kuzzi is the odd man out according to Tocchet. You could sell high on Garland but that's risky.

Needs some contact cement 😂
If they trade Kuzmenko I hope he gets fifty goal and scores the winner to knock out Vancouver out of the playoffs.

Once I get past the 'Something About Mary' hair, I can appreciate Elliotte's interview…
