Just having a happy-go-lucky guy like Kuzmenko might be a liiting of the spirits for a young guy out of his home coutnry for ther first time. It seems like Puljujarvi was totally lost when he was thrown into the deep end by Edmonton with no support system of a freindly face speaking his language. Imagine the same thing for Mitchkov only with Torts as the coach.
