Krebs

how does that help Vegas? Fluery has 1 more year at 7m and Kuznetsov is 4 more at 7.8m, Kuznetsov contract is by far much worse than Fluerys

So they add cap and lose a good prospect in Krebs? This hurts them cap wise even more

Because Kuz is a #1C. The contract he's on is good and keeps them stable for 4 more years.

Hes not a 1C, its pretty well document on how big of a disappointment he has been lately and the starts of a big decline for him

No one is taking on a 7.8m contract in a flat cap era, especially a team with cap troubles already in Vegas. That contract would be impossible to move right now

Yeah...Kuzy isn't a #1 C, and this absolutely handcuffs them on future deals in 2022 for Glass, 75% of their d-core, a backup goalie, etc., etc....

LOL I love how people think he's declining for some reason all because he got Covid twice?

Over the last 3 seasons among starting centers at 5v5/60:
-8th in primary assists
-14th in points

At all strengths/60:
-8th in primary assists
-18th in points

So yea he isn't declining at all. And he put up those points with 2 season under Reirden (who wasn't a good coach) and this last season where he got Covid twice. His contract is easily movable but don't think Caps do it unless they get something good in return.
