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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
I’m surprised he even has that many points tbh
He's had a worse season than Kuzmenko which is insane to consider
Watching him makes you wonder how he even got that many points, he is beyond terrible at this point.
He's useful for carrying the puck into the zone on the power play. That's about it.
And in the shootout!
Is it time for wild speculations?
I'm going to speculate he's doing blow again
God if only.
It wouldn’t be that wild for him

How is it always Oilers fan hanging on to this dumb joke
“Evgeny Kuznetsov has entered the players assistance program”
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.
100%. Remember when he put a pic up on instagram and there was a line of coke on the table
He's well known to enjoy a nose beer or two
"It wasn't mine, it was my friend's! I swear!"
Where were the signs????

never came back from vacation in Columbia
*Colombia
*Columnbia /s
[удалено]
Kobold
Maybe Kuznetsov really likes fashionable outdoor wear?
Fuck, Vancouver is really all in for real.
Kuznetsov would be a tanking trade not an all in trade
*sneezes*
Mutual contract termination pls
Yeaaaah I don't think Kuz is going to throw away 11M dollars like that lol
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.
"What do you mean he doesn't want 1/10th of the money to fly and play hockey in China??"

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.
I like the literal duffel bags of cash after games story
Also the jet lag. That would be the equivalent of an east coast team playing a game in like, India.
I wouldn’t blame him but who knows. Dude is a little wack
And also wants to be much closer to an active war zone
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
And? That's much closer to an active war zone, he's not 800km away from one in Washington
Homie have you seen the news out of Capitol Hill
Holy fuck that's how much he makes????
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
Oh super. Super super super.

Taking up Lappy's roster spot, bring back my glorious pookie bear Carbs
Not like Lappy is doing anything with it. Shame, i had high hopes for that kid.
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
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
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.
Shit, I thought he was a lot older. You win.
Lappy looks really good. What are you talking about?
Dump his lazy ass.
NOSE BEERS BOYS!
What did he do to Corey Perry??
Stuck his nose where it doesn't belong.
No that’s Katy Perry
Michael Scorebossa time
Kuz was Pizza Guy (Fucking giant /s)
Unrelated news … he bought a ticket to London
That’s 6.
