EVGENY KUZNETSOV - Center - 27 - $7.8MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2025-2026
LAST UPDATED 9/20/19
The 26th overall pick in 2010, “Kuzy” has been one of the Capitals premier offensive players for the last 5+ seasons. At 6’2, 204 lbs., Kuznetsov has great size, but his best asset is his finesse play. Kuznetsov is a smooth skater with excellent offensive instincts and passing ability. Kuznetsov could stand to improve his shot, but he often plays with Alex Ovechkin, minimizing this flaw in his play. Although he’s a subpar faceoff taker and not very physical, some advanced stats paint the picture that he’s an above average two-way player, though he is prone to making a few turnovers. Given his current trajectory, Kuznetsov should be good for around 20 goals and 50 assists a year for the next few seasons.
