A few weeks ago, we wrote that Andrei Kuzmenko would be a really hot commodity. The second most productive fighter of this year’s KHL decided to head to the ocean. Vancouver and Edmonton became the favorites. And it was the first named team that won the clever Russian.
The 26-year-old fighter may not officially sign until July 13, when the free market opens, but it is clear that it will be with the Canucks.
“I have been following Andrej since 2014/15. I was impressed by how it developed and improved, “said Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin. “Once the details of the contract are resolved, we will be looking forward to it.”
The KHL has really conquered this year. Twenty goals and thirty-three assists in forty-five matches is a great feat. He is, of course, in the stars of how and if he moves to America at all, the style of hockey is different.
However, if it can fulfill its potential, it will become a great weapon. He is a very creative and skilful hockey player, who will also count on the power play.
However, Vancouver was not the only one to run for the Russian striker. The key for Kuzmenek was where he would belong in the team and what his position would be. The Canucks did his best, as the competition on the left wing, which is Kuzmenko’s favorite, is not extra large.
The final decision was made sometime last week when Kuzmenko looked straight into Vancouver. He and his team got a great treat there, of course Allvin arrived. As a result, the Canucks pushed more than twenty teams. She was so interested in Kuzmenka.
“We would like to thank all the teams that expressed interest and met with us,” said Kuzmenka agent Dan Stein.
