I know his speed isn't exactly his strong suits but you have the chance to choose his matchups 5v5.
Give the hard match ups to the Kadri and Backlund lines and shelter Hubby-Sharky-Kuzmenko.
If he clicks, you either keep him or trade him next year for more assets.
As far as buy low candidates go, you can't ask for much better.

I don't know if Kuzmenko has that great of a shot, most of his goals come from a cross crease pass/tip in. Most of his goals seem to be scored from the side of the net. He is definitely a skilled albeit soft player who is able to perform with better players but struggles to drive the play himself.
I don't know why but he reminds me a bit of Jiri Hudler, a good player who manages to find himself in the right position.
