You can put me in the Kuzmenko camp as well. The guy has shown me can be elite offensively. That's a skill we don't have on our roster. Moreover, it will only be his 3rd season in the league so there's more there.
For me it comes down to what will it take to keep him. If we're looking at an 8 year extension then I think we should trade him to the highest bidder. However, if we could get him to sign a contract similar to Sharangovich I would be all for it.
I don't know what Kakko is, but I would be disappointed if he topped out as a 30-40P player, while Kuzmenko puts up 35-40G for the next 5 years.
