I don't know if NYR can afford Kuzy right now, but I like the move for both sides. Kravtsov is a big price, but Kuzy is a 1C in his prime. I like it.

why would VAN give up that for nothing

leafs can't afford that

Read the description of the trade before saying something stupid

will he though

Florida cant afford that

Kuznetsov isnt a top 40 centre in the NHL

I would disagree with that, he is a 1C on almost any team in the NHL. He finished 31st in points among centers last year. And even though there are some concerns about his game, he would turn NYR into a true contender. Mika and Kuzy are a pretty solid 1-2 punch up the middle.

Hes 31st in points. And hes awful defensively

I'm aware. But he is a great center to have as your 2C if you are contending. NYR is not that far off and I think Kuzy helps them achieve that more than Kravstov does, and I fully believe in the Kravstov hype.

i know the VAN trade is supposed to be seattle expansion, but we'll give you a 5th for him instead of you losing him for nothing
