Public official and well-known hockey expert Leonid Weisfeld rated the striker’s chances Andrei Kuzmenko at the NHL club Vancouver.
Last season, Kuzmenko became the leader of SKA and the second most successful forward in the KHL. In June, the Russian signed a rookie contract with Vancouver for one year.
– At first glance, Kuzmenko in Vancouver should be doing well, – says Leonid Weisfeld. – But thinking about Andrey’s future in the NHL, for some reason I remember the story of Plotnikov. When Sergey went abroad, it also seemed to everyone that everything should be fine for him there, but it turned out to be different. Although Kuzmenko should succeed rather than not.
– What qualities of Kuzmenko will help him win the NHL?
– Andrey’s strongest team is attacking. And here we must take into account that now in the world there is a tendency to attack hockey. Therefore, strikers like Kuzmenko should be in demand. Andrei is not afraid to take out a penny, to go knocking near other people’s doors … “Not afraid” is not even the right word. Kuzmenko can play very neatly in a foreign zone and loves to do so. The combination of fast hands, good technique and the ability to play his best just in front of the net make him a dangerous striker. Plus a great throw. All this gives us hope that Kuzmenko will succeed in the NHL.
