“Excellent job @HockeyAgent1!! He’s a beauty hockey player, seems like an even better person and his effect on this fanbase is already a joy to watch. Great news”, wrote one fan referring to Andrei Kuzmenko‘s incredible acumens.
Fans are well aware of the chemistry that Andrei Kuzmenko and Elias Pettersson shares. Addressing their companionship a fan commented, “Happy for Kuz and Petey. They seem to work well together. Too bad this good deal is wasted on a garbage team toiling away”.
The contributions work in both ways
Kuzmenko, 26, is now the no. 2 in his team based on his goals and attempted attacks in ice hockey. The Russian winger extended his contract for two years with the team in exchange for $5.5 million remuneration per year. Both Canucks and the player opposed retooling and performing a rebuild. Aiming for the already surfaced communion, both decided to carry on and make history for some time more. In addition, Kuzmenko’s family wrote an adorable letter referring to the club, as well.
