Both teams decline.

I think Seattle wants a touch more at least a 3rd

Gotta love Canucks fans. Underperforming overpaid winger for top pairing RHD on value contract, for sure. And a division rival to boot 😅

What does Vancouver need/ want for Kuzmenko?
I would consider him for the sharks! Think him and Barabanov would be a nice pairing with Hertl.

Adam larsson has underpreformed this year as well. Kuzmenko is a very high skill winger who can score at a 70 point pace for under $6 million. That’s not over paid lol

The whole point of this AGM is that the Canucks shouldn’t trade kuzmenko if his perceived value is anything lower than a top 4 Dman simply because he is slumping right now.

If the Canucks aren’t getting an Adam larsson type player, they shouldn’t trade him

He can score 70 if he gets a 30% shooting%

Maybe he can, but he isn’t this year - on pace for 13 goals. And he hit that number last year with an almost record setting shooting % (aka lucky). No problem if Canucks want to keep him - i mean you just signed him to extension but expecting a top pairing RHD (hardest position to fill) on a value contract from a divisional rival seems like a stretch 🤷🏻

I think you’re overrating Adam larsson and underestimating kuzmenko.

Kuzmenko has 89 points in 106 career games which is a 69 point pace.

He has been a ~70 point player over the course of his career. You’re using shooting percentage as the only thing to discredit him.

Larsson might be a top pairing Dman on Seattle but on a good team he would be a 3/4.

Not the only thing; he’s only had 1+ seasons in big leagues and he’s on pace for 13 goals in year 2. Maybe Larson is 2nd pairing but top 4 RHD making $4M is worth more than a winger making $5.5M with one good year and one bad (so far)

With a normal shooting% (even setting him hit at a very high rate of 15%), thats a pace of 57 points/82.

You want to know how much 60 point wingers making 5+ mill get? Look at reilly smith

The downside of tanking as hard as the sharks have is you literally have nothing anyone would want.

Feels like we've been down this road before Miller (didn't move him), Boeser (didn't move him). If, and thats a big if, they do move him, it will be for something Allvin values in return. Not a desperation move.

Re wind a second and take a look! Sharks are over 500 since you guys put 10 on us 8-7-2 and have been better than expected!

Larsson is a 2nd pairing defender on a contending team at best

I know. It is remarkable. I expect you'll fall back to earth as teams realize it's not a total cakewalk playing you.

I would hope! (I really want Celebrini) but this team is believing they can compete and come back and that’s a scary team to play!

wanna know how much top 4 dman making around 4 million get? look at marino

Yeah common devils fleece. Fitzy is him.

Or Chychrun 👊🏼

uhhhhhh are you saying larsson is on the same level as chychrun?

Kuzmenko is worth a 3rd at most. He’s quickly proving he can’t keep up in this League. Last year Petterson carried him along with an unsustainable shooting%.
