Andrei Kuzmenko has chosen Vancouver. The most highly-coveted free agent outside of the NHL has signed a contract with the Vancouver Canucks.

In order to be successful, you’ve got to be able to find players outside the first round of the NHL Entry Draft. You need to compliment the organization with college and European free agents.” “You’ve got to be open-minded and you’ve got to look for talent. Kuzmenko was spotted in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Detroit, Miami, and Edmonton before landing in Vancouver on Thursday for the final stop of his North American tour. “This organization, with fewer [draft] picks coming up, I think this is a great landing spot for a lot of European and college Canadian players. Nearly every team in the NHL was interested in signing Kuzmenko, given the low risk and potential for a high reward. You’ve got to trust your scouting staff, the people that work for you.

This is a major win for that direction, though it still remains to be seen how much of an impact Kuzmenko can really make at the NHL level. Importantly, it will for now be only that one year, as Kuzmenko was limited to a one-year deal and will be an unrestricted free agent at the expiry of the contract. It will be interesting to see what kind of opportunity he is given in Vancouver and whether or not he can bring that kind of production overseas.

Who is Andrei Kuzmenko? Russian star coming over to NHL after ... (Sporting News)

Kuzmenko was the top KHL player sought after by NHL teams.

But then there are others like Vadim Shipachyov, who played just three games in the NHL before heading back to his home country. As a late bloomer, Kuzmenko never received serious interest from NHL teams when it came to the draft. Given his playmaking ability, the Canucks certainly have some options that he can be paired with, including elite centerman Elias Pettersson or up-and-coming fellow Russian Vasily Podkolzin. After spending the entirety of his career in Russia, Kuzmenko elected to test the free agent waters this summer. Artemi Panarin broke out to be a star in the NHL after a successful upbringing in Russia's professional league. He also picked the brains of NHL front offices in 2018, but elected to stay in the KHL. Now, he joins a list of KHLers-turned-NHLers as he signs with the Canucks.

We have seen Kuzmenko’s production incrementally rise over his past seven seasons in the KHL and he is ready to make the jump to the NHL. It’s not just about scoring with Kuzmenko, we liked the motor that he has and how he does a great job creating offence quickly from creating turnovers in the neutral zone. Kuzmenko’s contract with the Canucks will be a one-year ELC and the full contract details will be made available soon. He met with a number of clubs, and last week wrapped up his visits to NHL cities with a visit to Vancouver a day after he was in Edmonton.
