Who would you guys go after? Besides Sanheim since he most likely won't get traded. Who would you give up?
Also if the rumors are true, do you think that means they think Bjornfot won't cut it?
I don't think the rumors are true. Blake just appeared on the Fox and Faust podcast like 2 days ago and said that the Kings are going to stick to the plan and aren't looking to add because they're in the playoff mix this year.
That being said, if we assume the rumors are true, then you're essentially looking at two types of teams to trade with. Teams that aren't currently in a rebuild that look to miss the playoffs this year (Vancouver, Calgary, Nashville, Columbus, Dallas, and Pittsburgh) and teams that are currently playoff teams but have impending salary cap issues (Tampa Bay, Vegas, Toronto, Edmonton).
There's guys from those teams that would be awesome to have like Sergachev, Werenski, and Quinn Hughes, but those guys are prohibitively expensive, if not completely untouchable. The intriguing guys for me are the next tier of defensmen. I would target guys like Noah Hanifin and Shea Theodore. Calgary is in serious trouble and could be looking to make a move to bring in some offense, and with the rise of Nick Hague and Vegas looking for cap space anywhere they can find it, Theodore could be expendable for the right return.
