Canes do have a lot of space. Interesting to see the compensation if any.

I also thought the title said Kuzmenko at first... Too sleepy.

Carolina was pretty quiet until yesterday. Now, not so much.

Really interested to see how this one could get done.

So, is this how Caroline recoups all of those prospects from their deal with Guentzel?

Kuznetsov has one more year in his current contract at 7.8 million

Taking Kuznetsov could earn Carolina a boatload. This one is highly interesting.

Well that's surprising. I bet if they took the full salary though they could have got more for sure.

I think this is a great move for Carolina. Give him another chance and if it works, Carolina just found themselves a superstar. If not, he will be gone after next season.

Like this move a lot for Canes. They got retention on a highly, highly skilled player who could bounce back in a big way. Low risk with the retention.

I wouldn't view it like that, but Carolina has been as savvy as any team on stuff like this the last few years.

Huh, thought Kuznetsov had negative value. Guess not.

I dunno, I used to highly rate Kuznetsov but his current form, even at 50% retained? He has been nothing short of awful.

Yeah. I don’t mind the gamble for Carolina but the real cap crunch is alleviating and I’m not sure if we will see a 1st moved for a short term dump again

Carolina is a good spot for him. Brindamour will get him going.

Carolina is trying to bolster their team for a playoff run.

Why exactly should the Flames have traded a draft pick for a 31 year old forward who is barely clinging to an NHL career?
