Description
Digging deep on this one...

So, GMJR does not want to rebuild, but he wants to retool. Kuzmenko spent all that time in the KHL before finally deciding to join the NHL... I doubt he did that to suck donkey balls for his NHL career. With likely no plans to re-sign and being a UFA in the summer, he gets traded at the deadline for Chytil - who helps fill a middle 6 center void with Bo Horvat gone - and some other prospect or picks (Kravstov, a pick, whatever). Chytil is still cost controlled as he is an RFA at the end of the year, so it helps VAN in the money department as well.

On the other hand, NYR send off assets on a future piece instead of just a rental. I guess the same trade and contract could work for Patrick Kane, but he is nearly 10 years older than Kuzmenko... I think it's an interesting idea.

The biggest wrench is that absolutely stupid Boldy contract that was signed today... but, hopefully NYR can convince Kuzmenko's agent that it's different since he has only been in the NHL for one season. After 3 years, he will be just about 30 and can still get a pretty hefty contract if he's still playing well. Maybe it can be shortened to 2 years if that'd help.

This doesn't really handcuff NYR in the future given the looming cap raises, etc.

    I think that offer gets beat if he is traded and he'd sign for more as a UFA.

    I'm sure he can make more money, but can he have as good a chance to win with that money? Also banking on the Panarin and Shesterkin stuff. I guess I shoulda kept Kravstov in hindsight...

    Like the trade for both teams but agree with others that he probably gets either more money or more term. Don't really think the Boldy deal works as a comp though as MIN is paying more now to buy off a couple of FA years and Kuz is 28 -- very different situations

    I mean, the Devils alone could go after him and give him as good of a chance to win and spend more. I could see CAR doing the same with what is coming off the board for them.
