Kuch bought a home in 2019 that has been torn down and a new home has been rebuilt. It is a waterfront home in the Sunset Park area of Tampa. Kuch isn’t leaving the Lightning because he is only halfway through a 8 year, $76 million dollar contract. It’s possible that he may want to move closer to some of his teammates on Davis Island. Kucherov finished this 2022-2023 season with 30 goals and 83 assists.
