This makes no sense. Kuzy was on waivers earlier this week. Why didn’t Carolina claim him then and get him without having to give up other assets?
Done deal. We got a 2025 3rd and retained half of his contract for the remainder of this year and all of next. Sad to see Kuz go, but this is a massive win for GMBM getting half of his contract off the books. He’s going to have an outrageous amount of cap to work with this summer with Backstrom going on LTIR next year too.
Officially traded
Bye Kuzy 🥲
holy shit
Reuniting with Orlov! Good for him.
Thanks for 2018 king
Reunited with orlov
Lol I might have the only Kuznetsov signed Hershey Puck in existence after I saw him Tuesday
Damnit don’t make me root for Carolina now lol
Thanks for helping us raise the cup Kuzy
Following in Semin’s footsteps.
My favorite player in terms of skill and personality! He will be missed but it was unfortunately his time to go. Thanks for exorcising our playoff demons and I’ll keep your jersey forever!!
There really wasn’t a difference next year between retaining half or buying him out this summer. The cap hit was virtually the same. The major difference is this saves us $2m the following year over a buyout.
Also we no longer have a player who has asked out and dealing with this issue in the summer.
Not sure how he’s going to respond to Coach Rod but all the best to Kuzy
Sucks this keeps him in this division. But glad we’re moving on
“Poke check away and now the counter, here come the Capitals. Kuznetsov, gets loose, Evgeny coming down and middle and a shot, he scores, HE SCORES! EVGENY KUZNETSOV WINS IT FOR WASHINGTON, IT’S OFF TO THE THIRD ROUND! **THE DEMONS HAVE BEEN EXORCISED!** GOOD MORNING, GOOD AFTERNOON, AND GOODNIGHT PITTSBURGH, WE’RE GOING TO TAMPA BAY.”
The entire cup run he was magic, and if Alex Ovechkin wasn’t Alex Ovechkin, Kuz would be a Conn Smythe winner as well as a champion. But that overtime goal in Game 6 (along with John Walton’s magnificent call) will be etched in my brain until I die.
Thank you, Kuzya
He brought me unspeakable amounts of joy from 2018. I just want him to be happy and find his way again. Thanks for the memories babe. 2018 doesn’t happen if he was never here
Got downvoted for suggesting Calgary or Carolina. Carolina is all in on getting elite scoring in the playoffs and Kuzy has shown flashes of it.
Solid deal and about the best you could probably expect. I’m honestly baffled Caroline went for this
How many games did he play in Hershey?
Curiuos how he does, especially for another Metro team. Svechnkov, and now Kuzy
really sad to see him go, as the caps are the only team i know anything about, but i just hope he’s happy and this will help him in his recovery.
Good, good, agent Kuznetsov will destroy them from inside.
Damn I was really hoping we’d see him play a few games with Hershey then bounce back to playing with the Caps.
Good deal.
Man that’s sad
Probably less than a year ago I got into an argument with a guy on /r/caps who was telling me « you’re kidding yourself » for thinking Kuznetsov could not be traded for a top six forward. I kind of hate the person I am that I’m even thinking about that argument again, but that guy was as dumb as a sack of rocks.
By my count there are only 5 left now? And only 3 non-injured: Ovi, Carlson, Wilson.
I’m guessing by the 26-27 season it’ll only be Wilson left, assuming Ovi breaks the record by then. Crazy that it feels just like yesterday.

I’ll be so sad if he does the Bird TO US in the future
Addition through subtraction. He outlived his tenure with the Caps quite a while ago. I hope he has his head straight going forward, but he kept doing dumb shit and compromising his talent for years. He was never going to get back to anywhere near his potential or achieve any level of consistency in Washington again. Perhaps his issues will be better addressed with a change of venue. I’m glad and glad for him that he’s gone.
