For example Hall for Kuzmenko (maybe you add a bit more). Both similar cap hits and UFAs. Both have no reason to stay with their current teams. Chicago could be intrigued with Kuz playing top line minutes with Bedard as we has shown he can be a ppg twice already.
Hall can be a reliable player to put anywhere in your lineup with injuries or just experience.
Chicago can test out Kuz and see if he can gel there and get him for basically a swap. It think it is a better risk then getting yet another 4th pick for Hall. Calgary can "add" by mainly swapping a forward and maybe adding a late pick.
Can help this group feel confident that the management believes in them with very little futures being given. I feel Hall would be more effective for this team then Kuz and have the boost playing for his hometown team.
Chi: Kuzmenko + 6th
Cgy: Hall

Hall isn't struggling. He's declining. Because he's 33 with injury history.
