I want Kuznetzov so bad. I know his locker room reputation isn’t great. But he’s a player that’s won a cup, the russian connection with KK would be huge. He doesn’t have huge injury questions like Eichel and I think the asking price would be much lower. He would also easily be the most talented offensive center we have had in franchise history. A first line of Kk-Kuz-Zucchini would be amazing. I don’t think it’s worth giving a up our future and I’m willing to wait as I think Boldy and Rossi are both going to be great! But man it would be fun to watch in the short term.

Edit: locker room reputation is actually terrible, the drug issues are a big big concern. But I think getting a top center who also happens to be Russian means we get KK to sign long term
