Blue Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 They both make 5 million this year and next. He's the anti Kuzmenko. That's what Tocchet wants. Or could 2.5 million be better spent ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbone Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 That would be a pretty big bet on SJ's part that Kuzy can get back to being a 30+ goal scorer. Because aside from potentially scoring goals, I don't see much else from him this season. He's slow, non-physical, and prone to defensive lapses. He does have great hands and a good shot, but I think he needs really good linemates feeding him the puck and when you can't defend well, you're not getting put on a line with elite line mates. It's also entirely possible that he gets a few bounces, scores a few goals in the next few games, and scores another 20 down the stretch. I'm not sure he's going to get that opportunity though because I'm predicting a big fat scratcheroo next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Granlund doesn't move the needle. I'd rather set sights on something bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been multiple seasons where he puts up 40+ points and under 10 goals. But you are correct that his two-way game is nonexistent. It was nonexistent in Nashville, Pittsburgh, and now San Jose. He is someone who can absolutely help move the puck, Does this look like a Rick Tocchet player to anyone?
