I think Kuznetsov will be much more expensive if you use NHL contracts. I'd probably go with Drouin because of the expected salary difference.
In a 16 team h2h multicat salary cap dynasty with all cats except toi. How do you guys see Kuznetsov vs drouin going forward?

Drouin for me as well at this point.

I'd also prefer Drouin. Besides salary I think he's the better player (plus I don't think he'll ever be a KHL threat).

Read my recent cage match on Drouin - link in my sig. Cliff notes = Drouin is poised to be Brayden Schenn 2.0, except with worse peripherals other than PPP.

I'd prefer Drouin
I'm not a fan of either in multi-cat - more hype than results. Out of these two I'd go Drouin because he'll be cheaper and thus easier to trade but I'd be looking to land a more productive guy for your league. You should be able to use the name value to your advantage.

The contract is what swings it in Drouin's favour IMO...
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Not meaning to hijack, but would you prefer JT Miller to either in a multicat league with no salaries?
Came in to basically say this. Neither arw bigtime shooters- and both play relatively soft. Kuzya exoensuve already and drouin will go for the absolute maximum he can get.
So maybe drouin cause ur hoping je can start shooting more? Id honestly be shopping both. If im building in a cap dynasty league i would be uncomfortable with either guy as a core piece. That being said theres lota of name value, youth and upside here. You could probably get a kings ransom for one or bith of them. In cap drouin might be easier to yrade..
No dedinitely not without cap kuzya's realtuvely "soft" priduxtion is stull a lot easier to pallette. Again hes not my favorite but hell stuff points assists and ppp. Uts the contract that makea him an anchir here. I feel like driuins still an unknown. The upside is excitung byt still not sure what hes gonna pan out as...
How are you guys feeling now about these two?
Let's see what Kuz gets re upped for... If they sign for a similiar figure then I go to him
(I thought Drouin would be a bridge deal at around 4 for 2 hence me flipping now!)
