Zero chance CHI takes Kuznetsov for so little. In fact, WSH would have to tack on MORE value on top of the standard cap dump cost, due to him being a negative nancy that we should not want around our rebuild.

Yep. This idea is less painful, but Hawks probably still decline. A 2nd doesn't seem like enough for what his buyout costs over the two years.

Quoting: Garak

Technically Kuzy wouldn't be around the team. It's a Bailey type deal. Acquire him and immediately buy him out. But yeah, a 2nd is probably not enough.

Caps won't pay a 2nd to get rid of Kuzy. They'll probably buy him out in the summer, or trade him fully retained for another contract.
