I have a hard time believing Minnesota has interest in any of that. I think it would look more like the Vegas 1st and a forward prospect.

Darcy Kuemper isn't signing that, He's going to want 4-5 years minimally.

Nashville has no interest in Hörnqvist but if they did they would cut out the middle man in this deal and be the one that receives the 2nd

They shouldn't be, but Sabres should offer him that as RFA. It would be 3 picks in 2023 with Sabres 1st rd, I hope, being mid 20.

Sure, I was looking for a team that he would waive NMTC
