The best available free agent is upon us that has yet to play a NHL game, similar to Minnesota Wild's very own Kirill Kaprizov who played hardly played a season in the NHL and brought in a whopping $9,000,000 dollar contract.
Now we have the next Kaprizov heading into the NHL, «Kuzmenko» who is coming off a unbelievable 53-point season in the KHL. Kuzmenko spent four seasons with SKA of the KHL and went from a below average player to a breakout star, standing at 5 foot 11 he scarily resembles Kaprizov in their own ways as well as having the same jersey number as each other (97).
It's been revealed the the Russian has chose to spoke with four teams, the Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks as well as two teams from the United States that have yet to be identified.
The two Canadian teams come as a surprise as usually Russians aren't appealed with Canadian teams due to their taxes being much larger than the US as well as the conversion is nowhere close to the earnings of the US dollar- but it seems as if he chose two who have a bright future upcoming, with a lot of cap who are in need of a player of his type.
As shown in his highlights he even wears the same number as Kaprizov, number 97.
