Definitely do that. Kuznetsov has proven far more and has more upside. And is older, more mature.
I'm thinking of dropping Grigorenko (or someone else) for Kuznetsov (he was just dropped). Players can stay on Farm Teams until the season after they play 60 NHL games, therefore Kuz would likely need to be on my main roster by next season. It seems likely to me that Grigorenko might be on a bad Buff team next year, but won't be that great...I think Kuznetsov has more potential, especially if he eventually gets that PP time. What do you all think? Thanks in advance.
Team in sig.

I'd go with Kuznetsov. It is nice to see Grigorenko adjusting well to the AHL, but Kuz is just a better prospect imo.

Make that move and don't look back. Kuznetsov will get an opportunity to breakout this year, and I think he'll take advantage of that. He's currently sheltered on the 4th line, but that won't last much longer. It will take one minor injury for him to move up, and that could be tonight. I read earlier that if Ovechkin is out, Kuznetsov will move into the 2nd line center position with Burakovsky taking Ovies spot. Obviously, that may not last too long but he may give them a reason to give him much more time.

Thanks all, I did it.
Kuznetsov should be considered a safer version of Grigorenko. Easy swap.

I think Kuz has more upside than Tatar and Lehtera, but he won't show that off for another season or two. Guess it depends on how long you are willing to wait and if you are in contention now or in rebuild mode.
