Can't imagine Washington trades their youngish elite playmaking center in his prime, even for that package. Maybe in a couple years if Connor McMichael ends up being a star

It's a decent trade imo, but if Pens truly miss out the playoffs isn't that pick heading back their way?

Imo 2021 1st won't get it done as it's a weaker draft. Or at least that 2nd should be removed by that point.

Likely going to cost you a lot more for both players. Both WSH and NYR would be creating a hole at center for their teams; have to make it worth it for them in order for acceptance.

Don't think that's nearly enough for Kuznetsov and no way should that 2nd from the Caps be in there.

Thats an insane overpay for Kuznetsov. Hes terrible defensively, cant drive play and does cocaine. The Wild are better off finding a guy in free agency or offersheeting Barzal/Cirelli
