Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin could look to move Kuzmenko to give him a fresh start elsewhere, but with a cap hit of $5.5 million for 2024-25, it may be tough and it's possible that could reduce the amount of suitors for the Russian forward.
On Monday's edition of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek discussed Andrei Kuzmenko's situation with the Vancouver Canucks and mentioned a trio of teams that could be fits if they decide to move him.
Kuzmenko, 27, has taken a step back this season in terms of his production and hasn't played up to the level he did during the 2022-23 campaign, where he had 39 goals. In 43 games this season, the Yakutsk native has 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists), six penalty minutes and is a minus-one.
