Fan happiness survey
On this perception: Three times during the season, RMNB shared an open poll with fans, asking each player the following question:
On a scale of 1 to 5, how happy are you to have this player on the team?
1 means he’s not very satisfied with her inclusion in the team
2 means unhappy
3 Means “Neither Happy nor Unhappy”
4 means HAPPY
5 means it’s a pleasure to be on the team
The numbers above show the average player scores in each survey period.

I wouldn’t spend time replaying the nonsense series that made Kuznetsov’s last seasons so bleak; It is in the link above. Let’s just say he’s been pretty bad for a while, and the Capitals were pretty close – like a super duper – to trade it on last season’s deadline. But they didn’t, and literally everyone is glad they didn’t.
A little behind on his best season of his career (2018, lead) in terms of goals and assists (24, 54), Kuznetsov was definitely Washington’s most. cheerful Forward, which means more to me because the team is growing slower and less adventurous.
It is also worth noting that Kuznetsov played 79 matches, more than any other player and drew with Wehrvary. In a season packed with injuries and COVID protocol, Kuznetsov has always been and can be counted on.
I would like to see him shoot more, especially soon after gaining territory. Watching the top streak get rejected at the blue streak or throw the disc in a long possession battle really bothers me. We all know that this is not the kind of hockey that Kuznetsov should play, except I think for coaches. One of the dirty secrets about Kuznetsov is that he’s not the strongest two-way player, and clearly neither is his partner Alex Ovechkin. The success of this top line really required an elite puck drive with rear check bits. When Kuznetsov lost Tom Wilson on his wing in the first game of the playoffs, the top streak was basically cooked.
Anyway, a huge season by Evgeny Kuznetsov, which is a good option if you are looking for a favorite Caps player.
