Kuzmenko linked to Eastern Conference team

In a recent article published by NHL Trade Rumors, the Russian forward was linked to the New York Rangers.

The Rangers have not been performing up to expectations as well, since they were supposed to be Cup contender. Though the addition of a top-scoring cheap forward could very well help them get back on track.

The Rangers have plenty of young talents in their system that could very well be trade targets for the Canucks.

If the Canucks decide to be sellers ahead of the deadline, Kuzmenko may be a top trade bait because of his ability to put up points and his low salary.
