Contract
His cap hit for the whole season, set against what he did in the regular season. Lower is better value. In a season still being played the cost per point starts high and falls as the games add up. Value is coloured by where it ranks among the 715 ranked skaters whose contract is known. How value is worked out.
The contract
Who signed him to it, and when, are not on record. It runs through 2025-26, so this is its last season.
| Season | Cap hit |
|---|---|
| 2025-26 | $4.3M |
Each season left on the contract. Only its cap hit and its end are known: how the pay is split by season, and any signing bonus, are not.
Contracts he has signed
| Signed | Signed by | Kind | Seasons | Years | In all | Cap hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 1, 2026 | Pittsburgh Penguins | New contract | 2026-27 to 2026-27 | 1 | $5M | $5M |
| 2025-26 to 2025-26 | $4.3M | |||||
| Jan 26, 2023 | Vancouver Canucks | Extension | 2023-24 to 2024-25 | 2 | $11M | $5.5M |
| Jul 13, 2022 | Vancouver Canucks | Entry-level | 2022-23 to 2022-23 | 1 | $1.8M | $950K |
Every contract on record for him, newest first, with the team that signed him to it and the day it was signed. The one covering 2025-26 is marked. An extension is signed while the contract before it is still running, often a year ahead. A row with no team or date is a contract known only by its cap hit, most often one signed since October 2024.
2025-26 playoff analytics
Rating
The goals he added to his team's goal difference, compared with a spare-part player given the same ice time. Each part is measured against the league, so zero is an average skater. A full season is about two-thirds the player and one-third chance. A playoff run is too short to rank anyone on.
On the ice
What happened at five-on-five while he was on the ice. What these numbers mean
These are left plain: he has not been on the ice enough to be ranked. That takes at least 200 shot attempts with him out there, about six or seven games, and a quarter of what the busiest skater has. Over a game or two these numbers are mostly chance.
Who he played with
| Forward line | GP | Time | CF% | xGF% | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joel Armia · Scott Laughton · Andrei Kuzmenko | 1 | 5:19 | 42.9 | 11.6 | 0-0 |
| Scott Laughton · Artemi Panarin · Andrei Kuzmenko | 1 | 0:51 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0-0 |
| Trevor Moore · Quinton Byfield · Andrei Kuzmenko | 1 | 0:39 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0-0 |
| Anze Kopitar · Adrian Kempe · Andrei Kuzmenko | 1 | 0:23 | 100.0 | 0.0 | 0-0 |
The lines he spent the most time in at five-on-five, with the team's share of the shot attempts and expected goals, and the goals for and against, while they were out. The two shares are coloured as above, against the league's lines that played a fair amount together. Hover over one for its percentile.
