Maybe I am just reading too much into it - just seems odd in so many ways.

We don't have the cap space for that, so it doesn't matter what they offered us.
And no matter what you think of Kuzmenko, getting him off the books next year was big value for VAN. They'll need that cap space for Pettersson. I think the extra return on the trade is probably that value. Nobody would sign Kuz for 5.5 for next year, as a reclamation maybe 2-3.
