There is no such thing that I would come straight out and say, 'That's it, trade me.' There is no such thing. This all goes over time, like a snowball, accumulating back and forth. Rumors don't just come out of nowhere. This has been going on for two years now.
I sat with the general manager and talked, as is supposed to happen after the season. We talked for an hour, [saying], 'Let's try to change the situation for the better, so that you feel better and I feel better. So, that there is no feeling that I am the odd one out on the team.' Like, 'We would have won if you had played better.' So, that doesn't happen.
For a couple years now the Capitals and Kuznetsov have been headed in a difficult direction together.
