Thanks for the time but I think this is the best possible outcome for both parties

Sweet Kuz, I loved him on the Canes and I’m wishing him all the best in Russia.
Curious why he would mutually terminate rather than being bought out, does anyone have any insight on that?

Well, kind of what was expected after the initial rumors. I like Kuzy and had fun cheering for him, and think he’s still got something to give. Maybe not an ideal fit, but it is what it is and I hope he and his family can do well and be happy if he’s headed back to Russia

I’m Bummed. Liked his fire he brought to the playoffs. Wishing him well.

My favorite player. Meant so much to me as somebody also recovering from dark shit. Not going to lie, this hurts. This hurts so so much. I’m typing this out while crying. I know that it seems really stupid, but fuck…
Thank you, Kuzy. For everything.

This opens up cap space and 2C… Necas szn now?

This bums me out. I enjoyed watching Kuzy play and he’s probably the best stick handler we have 😂

Wish him the best, penalty shot goal vs the Isles is an awesome moment in Canes playoff history.
Awesome to get nearly $4m of cap back, but makes all of our loses sting more as we certainly could’ve afforded Brady or Turbo with that extra space. Maybe would’ve sped up things with Jake the snake to where it shook out differently.
KK’s job got safer today though.

I’ll say I have a much more positive impression of him now. I never really got to appreciate his skills up close until he put on a Canes sweater and I saw him live.
He looked positively electric those first few games, and when he scored his first goal it blew the roof off PNC.
Wish him all the best…

I 100% get why we’re clearing the cap space and have nothing against him doing what he wants, but at some point it would be nice for us to actually retain or add a top 6 player

don’t want to mash the panic button just yet, but my fingers are getting itchy.

i started watching the canes because kuzy is my favorite player. a sad moment for me 🥲 i’ll always love him and even though he’s leaving, i’ll always love the canes!

Bummed about losing him, but realize this is probably what’s best for him/his family as well as the team. We’ll always have some good memories, at least.

Well that is disappointing. I was excited to see what he could do with a full year with the team. Glad he spent the time with us that he did, wish I could’ve seen him raise the cup in a Canes uniform
