The thing that I've read, that I like about Kuznetsov, is that although he is a big player his skating is his best natural skill. Not the straight ahead speed of Wallinder, but a natural strong four-way skating ability. As a defensman, he is hard to beat one on one, can make adjustments on the fly and rub someone out on the boards, at speed.
His offensive ability is average at best, but when it comes to taking pucks away, this player is very good.
