Kuzmenko was given every opportunity and was getting top line power play minutes on a top power play. A bigger issue in his production was Brock Boeser was better at the net front position than he was.

It's a pretty damn good piece, bud. His value is probably dampened more than it should among that fanbase only because they're already sitting on a guy like Hughes. But this kid is producing like Hughes in his D+1 and that's nothing to scoff at. I like how hf frames it as "selling high". He's still a kid and developing, I'm not sure that term means what they think it means.

Bustowicsz (as I will now refer to him, a change from Bobbyorrtowicsz yesterday morning) has done incredibly well for himself in the OHL. He is trending in the right direction but still has a lot to work on. I think he is a great get for the Flames.

Please don't say that name. It triggers me.
