Canucks wouldn't do Kuzmenko for Guentzel straight up.

Canucks easily decline.

Demko > Jarry
Kuzmenko > Guentzel
Hoglander > Joseph
Cole > Nieto
1st > 2nd
4th > 7th
4th > Nothing

The deal makes absolutely zero sense from Van's POV. They're giving up all the better assets but not getting compensated in any way. Losing tons of value for no reason.

Absolutely terrible for the Canucks

Kuzmenko > Guentzel (maybe even)
Demko >>>>> Jarry
Hoglander >>> Nieto
Cole >> POJ
1st >>> 2nd
2x 4ths >>> 7th

The Blues have no cap for that.

Canucks laugh and hang up.

Even if you removed the 1st, both 4ths, and Hoglander,

It’s still terrible for vsn

Blues decline. We have no cap for Rakell or the need really. We are retooling and trying to get younger. Adding a 30 year old winger on a 5 year contract makes no sense for us

The thought process behind the Blues trade is a good one, but it doesn't really make sense for the blue for a few reasons. I would agree trying to swap rakell to a team for a RD + middle six forward could work, but blues wouldn't be the team.

The Vancouver trade is just a cluster F and would never happen, too lopsided to the penguins. Plus when was the last time an NHL trade happened involving that many NHL players lol.
