Friedman at the intermission says teams are calling the Canucks about Andrei Kuzmenko. Has 1 more year at $5.5M and has a partial no-trade.

Trading Kuzmenko won't be an easy task. His $5.5 million cap hit reduces the number of teams capable of taking on his salary without the Canucks retaining salary. His no-trade clause also brings its lot of problems.
Kuzmenko's performance this season has been uneven, with 15 points in 25 games, which is far from the 39 goals and 35 assists he scored last season.
