Who has the best potentiel? Kuznetsov and IMO its not even close
Who has the best chance to reach is potentiel in the NHL? Kuznetsov ... If he actually comes over as he says he will. If you don't have the stomach for it and want a sure bet, take Strome.

Thanks

Agree completely with all 3. I own Kuznetsov in a pts only keeper (deep rosters) and I wouldn't trade him for Strome.

As far as answering your questions, I agree with NikW71.

That being said, I am not as confident as some that he will come over to the NHL. I am confident that the KHL will throw insane amounts of money at him to keep him there when his contract expires. He just watched a lot of Russians struggle to go back to the NHL after the lockout. I am sure Ovechkin will get in his ear to bring him over but will he turn down the offers coming at him from the KHL for an entry level salary from the NHL. That will be the big question mark surrounding Kuznetsov. Not his skills, but will he come.

And there in lies the risk surrounding Kuznetsov. No fear in Strome and his focus on where he wants to play. He doesnt have the potential that Kuznetsov has (not saying Strome isnt skilled) but he comes with that doubt and risk.

I think Strome will be a bust and I don't think Kuznetsov will ever come over. I know, that probably doesn't help.

I am a Strome owner and I don't worry for a second that he will "bust", although maybe BlackGold has a different definition than me. Kuznetsov appears to have higher upside, not going to debate that, but you can't miss out on your supposed can't miss prospects, so the Russian factor really comes in to play. For that reason I would not trade Strome for Kuznetsov and I recommend Strome unless you really feel you can afford to strike-out completely on a prospect.

This sums up my thoughts on the matter. I wouldn't even consider moving Strome for Kuz.....not worth the risk at all!!

Strong possibility Strome will have an easy transition in the NHL. Isles like to put a playmaking RW with Tavares & Moulson. He can beat out Boyes easily. Kuznetsov is good but he has to be discounted for KHL risk.
