I don't think the 12 team no trade list will really matter at next year's trade deadline. Most teams on that list will be teams in rebuilds or teams that don't look like potential winners. I would be surprised if next deadline, assuming that Kuzmenko is doing well, that he would even need to be consulted on if he is willing to waive. I mean, maybe he puts Vancouver on it due to the incompatibility he just experienced with Tocchet, but that's about it from teams that one could expect to be a potential buyer next season.
