Speculation: Trade: Phillips to Winnipeg

[Hawkaholic]

Played USHL in 2022 is what I’m going on. I have no idea if he’s been here longer.

I see, the "here" is what through me off.

Apparently Kuzmin is great at showing up to team meetings on time. Should help Lev.

Honestly, the timing wouldn't surprise me.

It was an interesting bit of news for a minute. No Lev on the ice? Oh, uh, health reasons? Oh, uh, wait, no, healthy scratch for missing a team meeting along with Kyles' second round pick Ludwinski who has 2 points in 28 AHL games this season.

If they're buddies? I'm hoping Lev doesn't catch a case of whatever Paul has cause 20 year old Ludwinski is on the highway to bustville.

Uhg.

Uhg.

They're roommates. Nazar was with them also but got called up.

I remember Kuzmin and Klimovich were on that surprising Belarus team a few years ago. I remember the scouting report saying he was a bit under-sized, but a good skating, puck moving type.

Let me see:

Wei traded +8 for -9
How does that help Rockford?

We traded size 6'3 205 for a smurf 5'10 195(but at least he is 10 lbs heavier than Bedard)...WPG gets their tyoe =Big ..we add another smurf which is our type.

We gotc2cyearscyoubger.

We got a trd rounder for.
a fifth rounder


Was the trade made to help Lev feel more comfortable by acquiring a close friend and fellow Belarus compatriot? Obviously.

Kuzmin when drafted had a scouting repirt aa and offebsice zone possession extender...but that has not translated to big production at the AHL level..but IF he gets to the show and IF the Hawks manage to get out of their own zone to the o-zone maybe this type that scoots aroubd the o-zone carrying the puck and keeping it past tge cheese,could turn into the playmaker dmam envisaged producing sone points ?
On the other hand...maybe justcanother smurf dman getting pushed around and adding to the menus heap.
But if he actually tries harder than$9.5..that would be refreshing.

But not getting my hopes up...but Phillips would get no more chance with the Hawks anyway .so no loss.

However IF Jets call him up..do not be surprised if he fits their style better and turns i to a useful piece ..after alk. they actually get out of their own zone...they are a much more talented and bigger team..Maybe thrives there? If that occurs..like withs Stone wuth Washington ,or Forsling in Florida ,fans may be furious we gave up on him...but thecreality is the systems and the surrounding talent provideca better chance to shine than our putrid talent and useless "system" which is so dysfunctional hardly anyone can thrive under this Tank environment.

Fresh start for Isaak. Doing right by him.

I talked about this awhile ago - he's not getting the ice time and it's only going to get worse.

However, I would have preferred future considerations. If lev needs a pal, get him a cat.

Good size means very little if not used.
