The Lightning GM says he’s not going anywhere, but Nikita Kucherov says he wants a change of scenery.
With the NHL beginning to feel like the NBA in terms of trade demands, Kucherov is absolutely the best player to enter this conversation.
BetOnline Sports & Casino set odds for Kucherov’s next team, should he be traded before the start of next season.
Kucherov addressed the media Monday in Tampa to explain his decision. According to the star forward, the issue is not about money. It comes down to a lack of respect and communication from the organization's leadership.
According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Kucherov has the Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs among the teams at the top of his preferred destinations for a potential trade.
BetOnline has the Canadiens as favorites paying $400 for every $100 bet while the Maple Leafs pay $500. The San Jose Sharks pay $600 for every $100 bet and the Utah Mammoth pays $700.
