Columbus and Montreal hang up before the proposals are finished:
-The top of this draft is VERY highly regarded. Columbus is not going to move back to acquire a veteran and some picks in the late 2md/early 3rd range. 30+ veterans, especially ones like Kuznetsov, do not have nearly as much value as you seem to think, especially in the cap era we are in.
-Montreal is not going to trade a 3rd and Xhekaj for a slightly older D-man they probably like less than Xhekaj and a veteran they don't need or want to spend the money on as they are mid-rebuild.
