Ideal for NJ yes. Very bad for MIN. Kuok at 23 isn’t exactly a spring chicken, so that + would need to be pretty significant for MIN to consider that.
Kuokkanen is younger than Kaprizov.
And only one of these guys is looking for huge, long-term investment.

Kuok + Holtz is not even close for Kaprizov.
Kuok + Boqvist is also not even close for Fiala.
I’m not sure if that’s what you were saying, or if I’m misunderstanding, but MIN certainly needs more than that.
That is what I am saying.
Kuokkanen started last year on 4th line, worked his way up to Hughes line. So people that just look at his point totals often don’t get full picture. Very few holes in his game. And the points will come. But if that’s not your cup of tea, no whoop.

Holtz and Zacha gor Kaprizov?
Close, but probably would lean against it.
Knowing what Kaprizov wants in a contract (and what Zacha will want too) probably makes the call here.
Say, Kap wants $9 x 6 and Zacha wants $5 x 8.
I would do it.
If Kap wants $11 x 8 and Zacha wants $4 x 5.
I would probably pass.
