Oh yeah, I remember that thread. This is not meant as a gotcha on any posters, but more just a "wow, how far has this guy fallen" look back.

As it stands, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect 90-100 goals from that trio this season.

You can always trade him later - it’s harder to find a desperate team who will trade you a 40 goal scorer as a cap dump.
They can’t just play Huberdeau, Kadri, Weegar, and Sharangovich with a bunch of rookies and dudes on 1-year contracts/ELCs.
That’s no way to run a hockey team.

You can't teach the type of skill Kuzmenko has, it only takes a couple of these rare skilled plays to win a playoff series.
With the cap increasing give him 4 X $6.5
