Arizona wouldn't swap Crouse for Kuzmenko 1 for 1, let alone adding a 2nd The only thing I found was an article on NHLtraderumor.com by Rob Ellis. He states he's viewed as an expert with 13 years of insider experience. Also associated with Nick Kypreos. I don't know. If this was a thing, I'd have to think an Elliotte Friedman would be all over it. It would be an awesome pick up though. Been watching his career since he was drafted. He'd bring a, bigtime, physical dimension to this team and on a good contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to write and say that they're having a good season, but they're 28-40. Another losing season, and probably falling out of the playoff picture. If they were a winner, and Kuzmenko has an opportunity to play more there, I think he does waive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona is literally playing the type of hockey Kuzmenko doesn't play.. the hard working grinder type style that plays hard on both end..

Essentially get a proven player with the skill set we need on a great contract with 3.5 years of Team control. So basically: We get a player we NEED and 1.2m in cap space ------> for a player with 1 year of team control and a later round 1 1st. This is a no brainer; Imagine if 2021 Podz showed back up. Our front 6 and D would be quite large all of a sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby James Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think we'd have to add, not them. Would anyone do Kuz plus our 1st for Crouse and a 3rd? That seems more possible since I think most of us agree Crouse is the most valuable piece here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not a proven playoff performer (no fault of his own tbh), but he brings that playoff style player profile that we’re looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona is literally playing the type of hockey Kuzmenko doesn't play.. the hard working grinder type style that plays hard on both end.. I would do a three way and trade Kuzy to Chicago to play with Bedard. We get their 2024 2nd round pick and then flip that along with our 2024 1st for Crouse. This would be similar to the Horvat deal. Kuzy won't waive to go to Arizona but he would definitely be interested in playing with Bedard and probably Celebrini too... Crouse Pettersson Mikheyev Hoglander Miller Boeser Joshua Blueger Garland Podkolzin Suter Lafferty I would go with this lineup next season. I think Lekkerimaki will be ready for the big show. Podkolzin starts on the 4th line. we bring back all of our Dmen, even Myers, and go on a run for the cup two years in a row. If we win it once then that's it. I can die in peace and don't care what happens afterwards... Edited January 11 by Elias Pettersson 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd want players that can help them take the next step. To VAN: Crouse To ARZ: Roslovic Peeke 2nd (CLB) To CLB: Kuzmenko 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Joel Eriksson Ek. 26yo 2C, 6 foot 3 207lbs, good 5.25aav with term. Not sure the chances, but this guy fits the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason Minnesota entertains trading Eriksson Ek is if they decide to go scorched earth rebuild. He's an elite defensive center who somewhat recently found another level offensively and is locked in at a good cap hit for the next 5 seasons. Plus he is a member of the leadership core and as you pointed out still fairly young. I can't see why Minnesota would ever consider trading him unless it's a massive overpayment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Minny is thinking of going in a different direction, which they might be, I'd be okay going all-in for him. Ek is exactly what we need if we want to keep the Lotto line together: 26yo, 6'3 207lbs, 200ft player, term. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
