Oh yeah, Kuznetsov is going to be fine.

Although he played much better yesterday, the level of talent is very evident and he will definitely be an asset going forward.

He's rusty and has no chemistry with the team yet, and you can still see the talent the biggest thing is you can see he is putting in 100% effort he won 61% of his faceoff draws as well.... when him and Guez get up to speed (hopefully with a few games to spare before the playoffs) wew just look out.

Rod said earlier that he won’t be ready in the next day or two so taking him at his word I suspect the earliest we’ll see him is Thursday, maybe Saturday.

Oh ya I remember that now. Not that I’m opposed to having a little grit with Pepe in there but…

It might just be me but I’d consider rotating Lemiuex with Fast depending on the matchup, he’s earned a spot out there.

Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen

Guentzel - Kuznetsov - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Jarvis

Noesen - Drury/Kotkaniemi - Lemiuex/Fast

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Orlov - Chatfield

DeAngelo

Andersen

Kochetkov

Martin

Raanta

I cannot find a post I read on one of the hockey message boards - it was either HF Boards or a Caps related board, but someone posted that Kuznetsov had been unhappy in Washington for around 3 years.  They said he never really enjoyed living in the Washington area and when Laviolette became coach he hated his system and could never get comfortable in it...got moved around different lines and got even more disenchanted. 

I really hope this move pays off, Kuz isn't old or anything....I just think all the league thought he was damaged goods that couldn't be patched up.
