For either Kuzmenko or Mantha to return more than a 3rd, they would have to play at a high level that neither of them have really shown before with much consistency.
I like Kuzmenko’s skill set and the positive attitude he brings to the team but, if I were to guess, I think he will end up back in the KHL next year.

I think Mantha nets a higher return. He's got the attributes that NHL GMs love. Size, skill, a great shot. Can be nasty. The problem is consistency but for a playoff run he's the type of guy they will add. I think he gets you a 2nd.
Kuz on the other hand is the opposite. He doesn't have those attributes GMs are seeking. I can see a team wanting to add him for their PP but most teams in the playoffs will have a strong PP1 already if not two units. I think you gets you a 3rd.
