Kuzmenko on a 30 goal season only gets a 3rd but will sign a 3 year deal? Sure, sign him.
Kuzmenko on a 10 goal season and fetches nothing. Don't sign or trade.
Kuzmenko on a 30 goal season and someone is offering 2 2nds? Deal him.
This is how I've always seen the situation as well. No need to rush into any decision right now or think we know exactly who Kuzmenko is after such a small sample size. Give him minutes and opportunities that play to his strengths, do the same next year and then decide.
