Agreed. Kuznetsov was a 2020 top 50 pick in teh 2nd round. Only Faber has established himself to this point out of the 8 D selected in the 2nd.
Lohrei looks to be next. I think Kuznetsov has proven to be a solid pick so far, yet he has 1 career game.
2nds are great, but the shiny new toy isn't always better. Is Kuznetsov worth a 2nd now? Probably not, but good chance the 2nd we add isn't any better than he is. Ras out makes room for Soloyov or Kuznetsov to make the team and play reasonable minutes. Assuming Parekh makes the team and gets minutes too.
I get some will say, just bench Bean and Hanley. If you keep Ras, you need to play him 22-24 mins a game and on the PP to help him retain his trade value.
