Based off a caps AGM i saw

Hard pass. Last thing we need is to bring in more cap for someone older and not as good

Duchene > Kuzy and it's not particularly close. Kuzy fell off a map and is playing at a shell of what he used to be. Duchene at least scored 40 last season and is good for 60+ points.

Nashville needs centers, but we need ones who can actually play defense.

I disagree. Duchene fell off even more than Kuzy last season.

Duchene has had one good season in the last 5. Kuzy definitely declined last season but Duchene declined more lol and kuzy is younger.

Kuzy will 100% out produce duchene next season, over the next 3 and over the next 5

As far as Kuzy not being a fit I can’t argue that

In terms of defense, i see it as exchanging Novaks inept defensive skills for Kuzy at C. So basically a wash at center. Parssinen, Joey, and Sissons can all be good defensively. I cant recall glass but i dont think he was too bad.





Kuzy 214 pts over last 264 games (0.81 pts/game)
Duchene 197 pts over last 249 games (0.79 pts/game)

Difference in Offensive contributions over past 4 seasons is negligible and age difference is about 1.3 years so it isnt like he is vastly older.

Duchene is overpayed but he still produces. And isn't completely inept defensively. I am 100% not opposed to moving him at all, but for Kuzy? I'd pass.

Kuznetsov:
2021: 24g, 78pts, +7 (79gp)
2022: 12g, 55pts, -28 (81gp)

Duchene:
2021: 43g, 82pts, +6 (78gp)
2022: 22g, 56pts, +4 (71gp)

Let's be a bit more objective here,
