With Kuzy in play, I’d go:

Guentzel - Aho - Teravainen

Svechnikov - Kuznetsov - Fast/Jarvis

Martinook - Staal - Jarvis/Fast

Noesen - Drury - Necas

Kotkaniemi

Lemieux

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Orlov - Chatfield

DeAngelo

Andersen

Kochetkov

Martin

Raanta

I’d go what I put above. Kuz will need a solid defensive winger and I don’t want to have to relegate svech to that roll(I’d rather svech be wide open offense with Kuz). Plus Noesen-Drury-Necas jive really well.

Yeah actually, move Jarvis to Kuzy’s wing. Necas and Kuzy would be a disaster.

Anyone have any insight as to why Kuznetsov's production fell off a cliff this season? Did het get moved to another line and didn't gel?  Ice time? What happened in Washington that made him expendable after averaging over 40 points per season for the last 5?

Between his drug habit and his mental health, not sure if he’s able to really focus and put forth the effort.

Hope is that Rod and familiarity with other Russians like his buddy Orlov will rejuvenate him.

Cocaine or lack their of. In all seriousness mdc is right though. Drug habits and mental health that followed. He got help but the caps still felt he needed a move away from DC to help him mentally. Nobody took it until now though.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
