Sujet: Kuzmenko Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyBoy</b></div><div>I’m not familiar with my KHL or European talent. Wanna give me a quick scouting report on him and why he makes sense?</div></div>

His numbers in the KHL have been phenomenal. His quick and smart style of play is very similar to that of Mikheyev's, but his finishing ability is much more natural and consistent. Mikheyev reportedly asked for a trade and his injury history is very unfortunate, Kuzmenko fills the very minor hole left by Mikheyev and lets Mikheyev start fresh with a new team. He's a very skilled player and allows us to move on from Mikheyev. Im sure you've seen this highlight of him floating around the last few days: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="ht" dir="ltr">Kuzmenko! KUZYA!

Yeah, Connor Brown's value is much more than that. Moot point anyway because I can't see Ottawa not re-signing him... unless of course he becomes very unreasonable but based on his current contract, he doesn't seem too greedy

Also, really doubtful that Ottawa has any interest in Poehling and what would be the point to flip him again. He has very minimal value at this point.


I actually have something prepared that I just copy/paste everytime Brown is underrated. Enjoy!

- Among Brown's 19:17 TOI/GP in Ottawa, 2:45 were on the PK and only 1:32 on the PP. His overall dZS% has been 62.6% which is extremely high. Simply put, he is mostly used as a shutdown forward or on a matchup line.

- Despite this defensive usage, he has been 61st for Even Strenght Points among NHL players since 2019-20 (not including 2021-22 yet). Look at the names around him on that list, they aren't all as good overall :

Facts summary :

- He has scored at a 24 goals/50 pts pace in Ottawa (127 GP)
- He was 2nd in takeaways last season (behind Mark Stone of course)
- He received Selke votes (17th)
- Total beast on the PK : routinely gets more scoring chances than the opposition
- used heavily in a defensive deployment (34.0 oZS% vs 66.0 dZS%) but still provides good offense

His speed, non-stop motor and flawless work ethic is a beautiful thing to watch. With only a 3.6 AAV for 2 more seasons... way too valuable for Ottawa and they love him a lot. Any team who has Brown should use him in a similar way that Ottawa has been
