Canucks probably accept. It hurts to lose Podz but you gotta pay for talent

You might be right. Although I'd on'y do it if they felt Guentzel was going to be more than a rental. Rather target a number of other players with team control for a bit more.

Why would Buffalo do that at all?

Penguins don’t want Kuzmenko.
He doesn’t fit well with Crosby and Malkin.
Penguins are more interested in a first round pick, Podkolzin, and probably Hoglander.

Krebs has more value to Buffalo than anyone outside is going to want to spend. Bad target.

I think Krebs is locked in as the 4 C going forward, until they find someone better, and he’ll be cheap.

Sullivan would immediately say no due to lack of effort by Kuzmenko, but I think the precedent of the trade was to solidify a true Russian line for Geno.
