Description

Kings grab another 1C to run Kopi, Scheif, Danault, Byfield down the middle and can play Dillon on the top pair with Doughty to handle the defence.

Clarke gives the Jets a RHD prospect with top pair upside, a replacement RHS C that hasn't been able to crack the lineup and a pick.

Jets don't want to give up on the current window so they backfill for 55 departure by bringing a local boy and multi cup winner home going into the last year of his deal. He isn't what he used to be but this clearly puts PLD as 1C and we'd be asking Toews to play 2C for us until Perfetti, Gus, Vilardi, Lucious or Barron can show they deserve a top 6 C spot. He waives because he wants to play for a team that could make the playoffs and the Blackhawks aren't that team.

As you point out, the last thing the Kings need is another center. They certainly aren't sending their best defensive prospect out for another center.

Not a chance Chicago does that even without retaining on Toews. I know it's hard for people to understand the player he was, he is today and he was at the beginning of the season are all different things, and it's hard to put a price on leadership on the ice, but Toews is NOT a cap dump and the risk of Chicago trading him amongst the season ticket holders and to the spirit of the team is way too high to accept a lowball offer.

Los Angeles shouldn't be investing significant assets in acquiring a fourth center. We might be interested in Ehlers or Morrissey, but no other Jet appeals except on a depth basis.

Yeah just doesn’t make sense for LA. Why get another C. No trade to be made between these teams.

The Jets might do the Chicago trade if Scheifele is moved. But the Jets definitely aren't going to sell low on Scheifele and Dillon as you propose here.
