We need to get as many draft picks as possible, and try to spread them out and not have them all in 1 draft. Our scouts showed when they get picks they can find good players.

This idea that Kuzmenko is a one dimensional liability is really not grounded in facts.
With the Canucks, AK on the ice for 3.13 GA/60 at 5v5. Second worst forward on the team, but 92nd worst in the league.
With Calgary, his 5v5 GA/60 was 2.55, which was 250th-worst in the league.
So he isn’t Marian Hossa. He’s adequate relative to the offense he brings, which is considerable.
