Kuznetsov was Conn Smythe-worthy leading the Capitals in playoff scoring when they won the Cup in 2018. The seasons since haven't been so fruitful, and this season in particular has been rough, on and off the ice for him. The Hurricanes aren't looking for a star turn from Kuznetsov though; they just need him to complement the top-tier talents in the lineup.
Those moves happened with 19 games remaining in the regular season, after firing coach Lindy Ruff with 21 games left in the season and having a percentage chance of making the playoffs of under 10%, per Stathletes. Then there's the trade with New Jersey for Vitek Vanecek in exchange for Kaapo Kahkonen . Vanecek has one year remaining at $3.4 million. Kahkonen is a UFA at the end of this season.
