I would be surprised if Kuzmenko returns less than Tanev(2nd + 3rd + prospect) if he is playing at a 60+ point pace.

Guentzel and Taffoli both have multiple Stanley Cups on their resume and pretty long track records as NHL point producers. Tanev had some of the better EV metrics defensively against tough competition over multiple seasons at the time of the trade and 41 career playoff games.
Kuzmenko has all of 0 career NHL playoff games played. So I guess anything can happen and you can get favorable conditions tied to a teams playoff success in a trade. But I don't see a 60 point pp specialist winger on a bad team with no NHL playoff games returning a big haul.
