Vancouver Canucks won the Andrei Kuzmenko Lottery.
The 26-year-old will sign with Kanuks after narrowing down his list of NHL teams to four finalists.
Andrei Kuzmenko signs with #canucks, confirms his agent @ HockeyAgent1.
They were among the four finalists the KHL free agent visited last week.
– Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) June 20, 2022 Kuzmenko posted a photo of the decision on his Instagram page.
Kuzmenko is coming out of the breakthrough season in the KHL, in which he scored a career-high 20 goals and 53 points in 45 games. He kept pace at the playoffs with seven goals and seven assists in 14 playoffs.
A native of Yakutsk, Russia, Kuzmenko was never summoned. He played for Russia at the World Juniors in 2016, remaining without a point in seven games.
He has spent the last eight seasons in the KHL and has been with SKA St. Petersburg since moving from CSKA Moscow in 2018.
