2024 Fantasy Outlook
After racking up 74 points in 81 regular-season contests as a rookie, Kuzmenko was hampered by a sophomore slump with just 46 points in 72 outings with the Canucks and Flames last year. If the elite skating winger can return to being a 70-point producer, he won't be long for a third-line role and figures to challenge Anthony Mantha and Blake Coleman for more minutes. Even if the 28-year-old Kuzmenko does start the 2024-25 campaign in a middle-six capacity, he should still get plenty of opportunities with the man advantage - possibly even suiting up with the No. 1 unit. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Kuzmenko's assignment could be a continuously changing role throughout the season. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $11 million contract with the Canucks in January of 2023. Traded to the Canucks in January of 2024. Traded to the Kings in March of 2025.
Goal, assist in win
LWLos Angeles Kings
April 23, 2025
Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers in Game 2.
ANALYSIS
Kuzmenko, Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar combined for four goals and 10 points in this contest. Through two playoff outings, Kuzmenko already has two goals, three assists, nine shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 29-year-old has been an excellent fit on the Kings' top line and that looks to be continuing in the postseason, so he should be in consideration for DFS managers needing an offense-only option.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Kuzmenko's first NHL campaign was a rousing success with a major caveat. He produced 39 goals and 35 assists, but he also shot 27.3 percent for the year, a mark that even the most elite of snipers can't sustain for long periods. He'll have every chance to replicate his success in 2023-24, but few players have redder flags for regression than the 27-year-old. The good news is that Kuzmenko's shot is still his best asset, and he has a legitimate shot at exceeding the 60-point milestone this season. Even still, fantasy managers should be cautioned against drafting him as a top-50 option. He's got virtually no physicality, so he'll have to keep his offense up to maintain his value.
The most highly-sought-after undrafted player in this year's cycle, Kuzmenko signed a one-year, $950K deal with Vancouver in June. He recently completed his seventh and most effective KHL season, posting 20 goals and 53 points for 45 games for SKA St. Petersburg. The scouting report on Kuzmenko is that he has great hands and is excellent on the power play, with his main drawback being a lack of breakaway speed. Expect the Canucks to give him a significant role from the start, making him an intriguing late-round fantasy pick in all formats. Kuzmenko will again be eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2023.

Heading to LA?
LWPhiladelphia Flyers
March 7, 2025
Kuzmenko might be traded from Philadelphia to Los Angeles on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
Kuzmenko has six goals and 20 points in 44 appearances between Calgary and Philadelphia this season. If the Kings do acquire him, it would be the third time he's been traded since the start of 2024. Kuzmenko has been averaging 17:08 of ice time across seven outings since being acquired by the Flyers, but he would likely see a decline in usage if the Kings acquire him.
