I’d do this years first, not 2022.

Understandable. I chose 2022 cause the draft is deeper that year, so I get that. I’d still do that trade.

With the high end talent on their back end, I think Johansen as a bottom pair D man would be really helpful.

As for people saying is it a good idea? Kuzy on a team high on the list of teams to win the cup is probably different than Kuzy on a team that's aging and fizzling out. Between Patches and Stone, it'd be hard to see him not be a 70 pt guy regularly again. Also, I bet being a professional millionaire athlete employed in Las Vegas is fun.

I kinda see it the other way actually haha! I mean after 3 days of 'not sleeping' and many nose touches during his "EPIC" interview, I think playoff leader Kucherov proved that kind of thing may NOT be a problem. Not like we're talking Kostitsyn brothers here.

EDIT: I don't think it's going to be his last line wherever he goes...

Yeah. Kucherov is way better. When Kuznetsov put up 30 points in a postseason, he wasn't even on LTIR. smile
