Kuzmenko is a great player and does well playing with other talented players. On pace for a ~75 point year on a bad team (albeit, one who scores a lot)
Schenn is a rock solid defenseman who plays a simple game, makes few mistakes and is physical. He played with TBL for both Cup runs so he should fit like a glove.
I don't know if TBL has the desire to load up for another run, but these 2 are cheap as shit cap wise, and would add another offensive weapon and a steady dman to an already good team.
What would TB be willing to offer? Vancouver can take a contract back for cap - maybe Namestnikov or Myers? But the value coming back would be picks and or prospects.
2024 2nd (becomes 2025 1st if TB advances to 2023 SCF)
2023 3rd (becomes 2024 2nd if TB advances advances to 2023 SCF)
Thompson/Schmidt
Foote/Perbix
contract
edit: for value
edit: So clearly the above proposal is not good enough for both players.
