Huge news just dropped that Nikita Kucherov could be facing some repercussions for his actions during the NHL All-Star weekend according to this NHL insider.

Kucherov Puts Minimal Effort Into All-Star Weekend Performance

The NHL was doing everything in its power this year to try and revamp the All-Star weekend festivities, including a new and improved skills competition. However, they can't control the level of effort that players put into the weekend, especially knowing that other, non-all stars are enjoying a vacation when they are playing.

This is how many felt about Nikita Kucherov, as he put up a lacklustre performance in his portion of the skills competition over the weekend.

Nikita Kucherov wants absolutely nothing to do with the NHL All-Star Skills Competition

There really isn't much that the league can do about this type of action, despite dangling a million dollars in the players' faces. One insider, though, revealed that NHL executives were not happy about Kucherov's performance, signalling that there could be punishment heading his way potentially.

"I saw league representatives [after Kucherov's actions], and they were not very, very happy. It was a lack of respect and a lack of class towards hockey. I feel like he loved it even more; the crowd was booing him, and he took even more time." - Via TVA Sports

Kucherov Became Public Enemy Number One Giving a Story to the Weekend

You may not have liked Kucherov's performance over the weekend, however, it did give some story to the event as a whole, as the building began booing him and made him out to be public enemy number one. This was at least something, other than an unengaged crowd.
