Huberdeau loves to pass and is an elite passer. Kuzmenko loves to shoot from anywhere. They are perfect together.
But more than anything else, the energy and positivity Kuzmenko brought to this team is huge!
If the Canuck team doesn't do well and Kuzmenko does, who will be blamed? Tocchet!
Lindholms first game: 2 goals
Second game: 0 points 0 shots on goal, on ice for 4 goals against including two short handed
Both teams may ace this trade. For Canucks I see them getting Lindholm for not much more than a really low first round pick. Kuzmenko they got for almost nothing when he came from Russia and now on a big contract. Brustewich or however his name is spelled they got in the third round. They gave up another third rounder, conditionally, plus a guy in Finland who was never projected to make the big club. All these players could end up shining in the NHL but then again likely not. The only bona fide in the trade was Lindholm. And he is on a team that could make a deep run in the playoffs and perhaps into the Holy Grail.
kuz trade came out 430pm pacific time
The Canucks wait for quality scoring chances and don't just skate down the ice and flip the puck into the goalie's logo to make it look like they did something. Less shots and more goals is also not making them many fans among the opposing goalies.

A cup contender can't afford a defensive liability that often floats around at 5.5. A middling team like Calgary can.
Thing I noticed last year with kuzmenko, is he shot to score. He had a high shooting %, but compare his shots to others around his goal mark. He has way less. And he played in a big role last year. He would try and make something happen with a pass if he wasn’t confident he was going to score. And as a Nucks fan, I respected that aspect bc when he was playing with confidence his passes were working.
