Isles trade Kuznetsov to COL

[TheScorpion]

To NYI:

Mikael Backlund
Pick 20

To COL:

Evgeny Kuznetsov
Picks 45 and 50
Cond. 2022 2nd

Really happy to get back into the first round and to pick up a responsible two-way centre in Backs. He's a little overpaid but I love his game and he's proven to be really good in the sim. Not sure about Kuzy's NHL future but I think he's very talented — Colorado got a good 'un.

Thanks to Austin for the deal. This one took a *while.*
