You can't resell a guy you picked up for a 3rd and a 5th and get a 1sy back.

Absolute lunacy.

Hawks decline and counter w/ their '25 4th rounder. Hawks aren't giving up a 2nd for Kuzmenko.

I had it in my head that'd be a late first, but it's a probable lottery pick at this point. I do feel a bit silly now.

At best, Toronto gives you a second, probably still a stretch. If they were willing to give that much up for him they would have just done it months ago. Hawks are interested in Kuzmenko but if the price is higher than a 3rd they aren't even considering it.

11 goals in 10 games says they do.

Why can’t you just accept your ACGM is a pile ****? Instead of getting butt hurt over teams saying no🤣

Kuzmenko isn't getting a 2nd from Chicago.

Hawks pass - Hawks cant afford this deal, and they’ don’t want a player with a mediocre contract.
Zadorov is not available at the Trade Deadline, and it’s just a rubbish rumour.

Oh yeah. Cause Kuzmenko and his 8 goals this year is gonna turn that right around. Hawks aren't trading a likely long term future piece that 2nd round pick represents for what might be one year of Kuzmenko.

A little light on the return for Calgary, 2 very late 1sts a very late 2nd and a pair of B prospects doesn't quite cut it. Replace the two B prospects with one A prospect Calgary is interested in and you might have a deal.
