I remember us drafting Kuz and his next WJC he broke the single game record for points in a game. And the excitement we got.

What a wild ride we've had with Kuznetsov, it hasn't been boring that's for sure.
There’s no 2018 without 92. He torpedoed a few seasons after 2018 but he delivered when we needed him most, and for that I’ll always love The Birdman.

Ted is really doubling and tripling down in his mentions, even though people are giving him specific examples of mutual contract terminations. Absolutely wild

So with Kuzy off the books, Backy/Oshie put on LTIR, we will have $13.1 m of possible LTIR,

No waiver activity today of course. Seems quite premature for now, though I'm sure Carolina would welcome it. Even with being so thin up the middle you'd think anything that helps them extend Necas & Jarvis to longer-term deals is preferable. And then spending whatever is left on a top six winger instead rather than having Roslovic there. Not much left in UFA, though. Sprong. Maybe a Pacioretty reunion.
Still...wait and see. A buyout after their arb cases is another possibility.

It's the most agent-y agent speak I've seen written by an agent.
Because you know, everything is possible...

If he did then it was in past few days because everything including off-season stuff lists Oster as his agent
Kuzy can't even defect back to his own country without some drama.
Maybe Babaev is his Russian agent, and he has a separate one (Oster) for the US? Is that a thing?

If it's true... great. If not, this rumor is the most Kuzy thing ever.
Well this was a fun read for a few moments with a “Kuzy” like ending. So much promise and ending in nothing. Haha.
That said, i bet he goes to KHL. There is just some political smoke between KHL and NHL which isn’t surprising. It certainly explains some of the moves including all the Caps signings. if you know this is coming it gives you room.

lol that's not just agent talk, it's active negotiating.
agent said "well it's not just one team, it's a lot of teams provided the market is good enough to bail on this contract" and "you said it's for four years, and I see SKA likes longer contracts, so... nice"
None of those are even "no", just "meet my client's needs in a way that justifies bailing on this money.

I've always thought Ovechkin would end his playing career back in the KHL, likely with HC Dynamo Moscow, but I have no doubt that he will honor his remaining two years with the Capitals first.
Akin to Datsyuk who left the NHL after the 15-16 season but played 5 additional seasons in the KHL before retiring (which took him well past 40).
