Kuz's value is down right now because he's terrified of screwing up and getting further into Tocchet's bad books. Watched him a lot last year and I think with a pass first guy like Huberdeau, if Kuzmenko gets to the front of the net he could bang in enough goals to pump up his value and then flip him in the off season or sometime next season. If this is us finally waving the white flag on this season, we can afford a guy who is offense only and doesn't back check if we can improve his value as an asset. But he can't be the centrepiece of this.
