Kings accept.

Wrong team for Kuzmenko. Carolina have Jarvis, Necas, Teravainen on the wings already. I casually skipped over Svechnikov and Pacioretty too. There's a team that will pay a bigger price, because Carolina will likely not give you a 1st for Kuzmenko

really? there were so many canes fans on this site saying that they should target kuzmenko
either way, kuzmenko could probably fetch a first. doesn't matter from who

I doubt Kuzmenko fetches a 1st. There's only so many 1st round picks. Kane, Senko, Horvat, and Chychrun are going to be the big returners for that. Then there are guys like ROR, Toews, and I just cannot see Kuzmenko getting a 1st.

NJ rejects. Nemec is a non-starter is practically any deal and Graves plays too important of a role for this year's team to be able to justify moving him in an "all-in" kind of deal. Lastly, this is just my opinion, but Boeser isn't of interest for me and would represent negative value for my vision of building a Cup winner.

That’ll be a no from NJ.
Boeser hasn’t been very good, and carried a hefty cap hit
Horvat is a rental, and our GM has been notably anti rental
Rathbone doesn’t make sense when they can just keep Nemec

I'll go further than @hckeydude123 -- Kings would add another third to have Ryan Graves at that retention and package price.

Devils unlikely to move Nemec. Boeser and/or Horvat maybe, but would be off-season moves (latter in free agency).

I think Boeser for pick/prospect over the summer is most plausible.

My guess is after all this talk only Horvat and Chychrun move. Too hard to move either Hawks or Blues players.

Have you been alive to see past trade deadlines….

That's a possibility. But ROR has no trade protection and Senko openly wants out. It's not hard to move the Blues players. The Hawks is different and I get that, but there are other players (like Timo Meier) that would return a 1st before Kuzmenko would, I just can't see it.
