Everything I've read about him has him as a stay at home defenceman. The offensive talent (lack thereof) doesn't intrigue me at all. Comparisons to Zybnek Michalek...no thanks. Not what I'd be aiming for in the 2nd round.
Hendrix Lapierre seems like a fine pick at 19 - it seems like a homerun swing that could hit.

I'm totally agreed that one should focus on upside - but if you can get 800 games out of a 2nd rounder (Michalek) you've hit a home run.
In my aggregate list Kuznetzov comes in at #47 with an average draft position of 59 - so certainly right in that range for the Flames.
Not saying they should pick him though - I don't know enough about him at all.
