As a Caps fan I love Kuzy but wouldn't be surprised if Caps accepted this. They need a shake up and this is good value. He'd certainly fit in great with Colorado. It's a trade that works for both sides.

Kinda torn on this one. It's a lot for the Avs to give up but at least they're keeping their '23 1st to try to find a future replacement at 2C. Only thing I can really find to dislike is Kuznetsov being a Liverpool FC fan lol.

Lines I'd probably run Lehk/Gabe-Mack-Rants and Gabe/Lehk-Kuz-Nuke and switch Nieto and Cogs. Think the Avs would need to look for some help at RD though as I'm not keen on Englund there.

I imagine it could seriously upset Ovechkin? That would be the one major reason I could see the Caps declining.

For sure. I don't know the inside politics of it all, maybe Ovi would stop it. But if not I think it's a trade that could work.

Though I'm 100% certain that Ovi would kill this trade the moment he saw it, I don't really mind this. I'm hesitant to give up on Kuzy but if the Caps were to move him, something like this would be well worth the cost.

If they could get this for Kuzy I would take it, and don't hate it from COL perspective either. As others have said though I doubt they move him

This may be one of the most fair blockbuster deals I have ever seen on ACGM. And I absolutely love Kuzy here, but it just makes sense for both teams. Well done sir
