Insider Elliotte Friedman reported during Hockey Night In Canada that teams are inquiring about Vancouver Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko who's reduced ice time has sparked trade discussions.
«There are some conversations around him,» Friedman said on HNIC. «Other teams have called Vancouver saying, 'what are you willing to do here.' They know the Canucks are always willing to clear cap room, so we'll see how that develops over time.»
The Canucks are once again open to clearing cap space. The 27 year old has 1 year left on his deal worth 5.5M and also has a 12 team no trade list which could make things difficult.
