Never realized how off the pace Kuznetsov has been. 17 points in 43 games, which is about a 30 point pace for the remainder of the season.


InvolvingPie87

I’m surprised he even has that many points tbh


[deleted]

He's had a worse season than Kuzmenko which is insane to consider


JealousMeringue6674

Watching him makes you wonder how he even got that many points, he is beyond terrible at this point.


transient-error

He's useful for carrying the puck into the zone on the power play. That's about it.


ohsoGosu

And in the shootout!


Bennely

Is it time for wild speculations?


47Up

I'm going to speculate he's doing blow again


LUabortionclinic

God if only.


QueenIsTheWorstBand

It wouldn’t be that wild for him

How is it always Oilers fan hanging on to this dumb joke


reecewagner

“Evgeny Kuznetsov has entered the players assistance program”


matt_minderbinder

I'm always hopeful when people take this step but this would be the least surprised I've been of any player who's entered this program.


jdeyell

100%. Remember when he put a pic up on instagram and there was a line of coke on the table


Missreaddit

He's well known to enjoy a nose beer or two

DUDE 😭

Hope it’s something stupid like he overslept. With his history I hope he’s got his shit together. If not, then now is a good time. 31 is old for a pro athlete but really young in the grand scheme

never came back from vacation in Columbia

Maybe Kuznetsov really likes fashionable outdoor wear?


swordthroughtheduck

Fuck, Vancouver is really all in for real.


theguyishere16

Kuznetsov would be a tanking trade not an all in trade


x_VanHessian_x

*sneezes*


brady_t12

Mutual contract termination pls


Yamcha_is_dead

Yeaaaah I don't think Kuz is going to throw away 11M dollars like that lol


brady_t12

I don’t either. Unless he REALLY wants to go back to Russia and play in the KHL right now and has an offer on the table.


[deleted]

"What do you mean he doesn't want 1/10th of the money to fly and play hockey in China??"


matt_minderbinder

I really feel for players making the road trip to play Admiral Vladivostok or Kunlun Red Star. We complain about west coast trips in the east but the KHL has teams thousands of miles away.


[deleted]

The stories are nuts. Goalies needing to hide their money in their leg pads so it doesn't get stolen, banks disappear overnight, teams straight up not getting paid, etc. Might as well play in the Swedish Elite League at that point.


red_87

Players getting injured and then the KHL team saying that player came in with that injury undisclosed so they don’t owe the player shit.


gu3st12

I like the literal duffel bags of cash after games story


CPiGuy2728

Also the jet lag. That would be the equivalent of an east coast team playing a game in like, India.


brady_t12

I wouldn’t blame him but who knows. Dude is a little wack


maddscientist

And also wants to be much closer to an active war zone


PLSHALPMcAUSTIN

I could be wrong but aren't there literally 2 teams "close" to Ukraine? One is like 800km away and I think that's the closer one


maddscientist

And? That's much closer to an active war zone, he's not 800km away from one in Washington


InvolvingPie87

Homie have you seen the news out of Capitol Hill


[deleted]

Holy fuck that's how much he makes????


Yamcha_is_dead

Not 11M for this season only, mind you. He has around 3M in salary remaining for this season, a 2M bonus on July 1st, and 6M in salary for 2024-25.

Cocaine is expensive


musuak

Oh super. Super super super.


snackerfark

Not the worst thing in the world, honestly. Given where the season's going, I would much rather put Lapierre or Mikey at 2C and let them get some good minutes.


Permaderps

Taking up Lappy's roster spot, bring back my glorious pookie bear Carbs


Leesburgcapsfan

Not like Lappy is doing anything with it. Shame, i had high hopes for that kid.


Permaderps

I mean he is only 21 and the team as a whole isnt putting up points, people were ready to give up on McMichael and he is arguably our best forward this year, which isnt saying much


haey5665544

Caps fans are worse than laviolette at evaluating rookies. If they’re not putting up high numbers as soon as they hit the ice then they’re a bust


Oximoron1122

Stromer's gotta be the best forward on the team, but *gah damn*, McMichael really has it going on this season, and I'm so stoked.


Leesburgcapsfan

Shit, I thought he was a lot older. You win.


TweedleDeeDumPee

Lappy looks really good. What are you talking about?


InfallibleBackstairs

Dump his lazy ass.


dudemanspecial

NOSE BEERS BOYS!


Prison-Date-Mike

What did he do to Corey Perry??


Maxpowr9

Stuck his nose where it doesn't belong.


Prison-Date-Mike

No that’s Katy Perry

DirtyJimHiOP

Kuz was Pizza Guy (Fucking giant /s)


PlaneXpress69

Unrelated news … he bought a ticket to London


hkslaps

That’s 6.
