2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kuzmenko can be a productive top-six forward, but he’s not a reliable one. A regression from his 39-goal and 74-point regular season in 2022-23 was always predictable given his absurd 27.3 shooting percentage, but the fact that he failed to reach even the 50-point mark in either of the last two seasons while bouncing between four different teams is surprising. Still, he seemed to find his way when he was acquired by Los Angeles during the 2024-25 campaign, recording five goals and 17 points over 22 regular-season outings with the Kings after supplying six goals and 20 points across 44 appearances between Philadelphia and Calgary earlier in the campaign. It was enough for Los Angeles to give him a one-year, $4.3 million contract for 2025-26. That contract might work out with Kuzmenko rebounding back above the 50-point mark, but he’s a high-risk bet.

January 20, 2026
Kuzmenko scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Kuzmenko ended a seven-game goal drought with his tally at 12:37 of the second period. That goal also stood as the game-winner. The 29-year-old winger has been streaky at times, though he's racked up 12 points over his last 18 outings since he was scratched Dec. 13 versus the Flames. He now has 10 goals, 20 points, 59 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-2 rating through 44 appearances this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After racking up 74 points in 81 regular-season contests as a rookie, Kuzmenko was hampered by a sophomore slump with just 46 points in 72 outings with the Canucks and Flames last year. If the elite skating winger can return to being a 70-point producer, he won't be long for a third-line role and figures to challenge Anthony Mantha and Blake Coleman for more minutes. Even if the 28-year-old Kuzmenko does start the 2024-25 campaign in a middle-six capacity, he should still get plenty of opportunities with the man advantage - possibly even suiting up with the No. 1 unit. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Kuzmenko's assignment could be a continuously changing role throughout the season.
Kuzmenko's first NHL campaign was a rousing success with a major caveat. He produced 39 goals and 35 assists, but he also shot 27.3 percent for the year, a mark that even the most elite of snipers can't sustain for long periods. He'll have every chance to replicate his success in 2023-24, but few players have redder flags for regression than the 27-year-old. The good news is that Kuzmenko's shot is still his best asset, and he has a legitimate shot at exceeding the 60-point milestone this season. Even still, fantasy managers should be cautioned against drafting him as a top-50 option. He's got virtually no physicality, so he'll have to keep his offense up to maintain his value.
The most highly-sought-after undrafted player in this year's cycle, Kuzmenko signed a one-year, $950K deal with Vancouver in June. He recently completed his seventh and most effective KHL season, posting 20 goals and 53 points for 45 games for SKA St. Petersburg. The scouting report on Kuzmenko is that he has great hands and is excellent on the power play, with his main drawback being a lack of breakaway speed. Expect the Canucks to give him a significant role from the start, making him an intriguing late-round fantasy pick in all formats. Kuzmenko will again be eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stay in LA
LWLos Angeles Kings
June 25, 2025
Kuzmenko and the Kings are both open to a short-term contract, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kuzmenko clicked instantly with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe following a deadline deal in March. Overall, Kuzmenko had 37 points in 66 regular-season appearances, including 17 points in 22 outings with the Kings after the trade, and he added six points in six playoff contests. The willingness for a short-term deal could help the Kings maintain cap flexibility while helping Kuzmenko to build value and shed his streaky reputation, setting him up for a bigger payday in a year or two. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency Tuesday.
