reclamation project in Kuzmenko who might turn into a valuable deadline asset in 2025
really good right-handed D prospect in Brzustewicz
another D prospect in Jurmo (more of a long shot, but why not)
1st round pick (no condition and in 2024)
another draft pick

that's a good deal. The Athletic floated Kuzmenko + Höglander + 1st a few days ago ... in reality, it's Brzustewicz + Jurmo + conditional 4th instead of Höglander. And honestly, I'll take that. Conroy did well.
I like Hoglander more than most on here, and would have taken that trade.

But getting Brzustewicz + Jurmo + 4th/3rd is actually better, considering where the Flames are currently, and their lack of D prospects.
