Confirmed Trade: [LAK/PHI] Andrei Kuzmenko (50% retained) and 2025 7th round pick for 2027 3rd round pick

[BringTheReign]

Kuzmenko looked pretty solid in his debut--the team needs some offensive creativity. Not bad for a 3rd round pick backup plan given Rantanen had no interest in signing in LA.

The 1% of Kuzmenko’s time on ice when he has the puck with space in the offensive zone is great. The other 99% of his time on ice is a disaster. He doesn’t follow any pattern of play. His teammates can’t trust him.

He was never a liability in his first game; if anything he was the guy breaking up plays in the D zone.

10/10 addition so far 1 game in.
