Hawks accept.

The Canucks have full intentions to re-sign Kuzmenko and no interest in draft picks. A Kuzmenko trade would cost you Chytil, Lafreniere, or Othmann. Kuzmenko is putting up the same numbers as Panarin and Kaprizov in his first year and he's only getting better. I'd love to have him on the Rangers but Canucks aren't shopping him.

I wouldn’t be too quick to jettison Krav…he still probably “belongs” in the AHL to continue to acclimate to the North American game, and builds strength and stamina. But that said- he hasn’t been hurting the team- and (finally) he is starting to show glimpses of why he was a 1st round pick.

Could see the Canucks accepting if they can’t agree to an extension with Kuz. Although Rutherford seemingly wants younger NHL players over picks
