Here is what I think should happen.

Minnesota should trade Quinn Hughes to the Devils for a haul. Take that haul and send it to Tampa Bay for Kucherov. Kuch says he wants to play with a star player and he can achieve that with kaprizov.

I'd rather give Kucherov $20m than the $20m the Wild would probably have to give Quinn Hughes.
 
My post about Danil Markov making the Leafs as a 9th round pick got me thinking about how they contracted the number of draft rounds they had from 9 to 7.

What impact do you think would happen if they contracted it from 7 down to 3? Teams could claim up to three players on their team. Every other player would become an undrafted free agent. Do you think that would have a positive effect on team building, i.e. it would be quicker to build up a prospect pool, or a negative one in that the teams with all the money could sign all the prospects. I guess if you had to sign them to an ELC, the contract limit would help limit that. I also think that would have some sort of negative impact on the contracts as a 1 OA pick may end up with a contract that is cheaper than someone signed as an undrafted free agent.
