Trades

BUF

Kaliyev, Arthur
Turcotte, Alex
Walker, Sean
2021 1st round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

Kings already have plenty of centermen, so Turcotte is expendable. Kaliyev looks to be a stud, Walker is a top 4 DMAN and the first could be pretty high. 2 A prospects a top 4 DMAN and a lottery pick is enough IMO

LAK

Eichel, Jack

I would much rather substitute Anderson-Dolan, Madden or Thomas for Kaliyev. We have only two high-quality winger prospects and Kaliyev is one of them; the other three players I've suggested are rated roughly equivalent to him.

Buffalo has plenty of RD depth and we don't; Buffalo needs an NHL LD and we have Kale Clague.

But this is a fine proposal and as much as I'd like to tweak it, I'd accept it without reservation if it actually happens.

The return for Eichel in this trade looks rather anaemic and insufficient.

If I'm Kevyn Adams, I would consider this only in an emergency situation when almost all teams lose interest and we're days before Eichel's NMC kicks in.

Its not terrible, im Bearish on Turcotte though so i dont think the value is there. Add Fa(g)emo its good, without adding Byfield, or swap Turcotte with Byfield and drop walker or the 1st
