New blood

Let's be positive for at least a few hours, beginning with what has been a stellar start for import Andrei Kuzmenko.

Harman Dayal from The Athletic dropped a fire 4 piece combo this morning on what he brings to this lineup.

Add to that the fact he uses Vasily Podkolzin as his de facto translator & you've got what looks to be an entertaining player that can hang on the smaller ice surface. The questions then become, what is he worth & will the gamble be a multi year one?

Remember, he's only inked until July on a very team friendly 1.8M USD deal.

From the sample size so far, do you want Kuz' back in a Canucks jersey next season?!
