At first I didn't get why Kuzmenko agreed to waive his NTC to come to Calgary. It makes perfect sense now. This year is a write off for him. He needs to put himself in the best position possible for next year, as it's a contract year that will decide his fate in the NHL. Calgary offers him top line and top PP minutes to and both him and the club have a joint interest in showcasing him and pumping up his numbers. Next year Kuzmenko gets to choose wherever he wants to go.
