did NYR want to part from Kravtsov? I figured since they have trouble with scoring and the market isn't filled with a bunch of high scoring forwards, why not try out a veteran Russian that might resurge with Panarin on the PP, or maybe provide some bottom 6 scoring (if he can wake up).

If the Kings want to push the envelope in being competitive come playoff time, they need at least some scoring. Now, I know what you're thinking: "bruh. have you been watching? Both those players suck. They aren't scoring either. how does this help?" well, similar to the last trade, with the youthfulness of the Kings forward group, maybe putting one of these experienced wingers with players like Byfield could create a resurgence. Also, Bergevin clearly likes both of these players.

With the cap hit Klingberg has, I believe a true contending team wouldn't either have the space for his $7mil, or they wouldn't want to part with too much in forcing Anaheim to retain. This likely will be met with angry comments, as Savard is not worth Klingberg, but the way i looked at it, is Savard can solely provide protection for Zegras and the rest of the youth. Nobody is doing it since Deslaurier left, and it's not like they're shooting for first in their division, so his defensive mishaps won't hurt them as badly as he would on a good team. Plus, he's on the cheaper end, he's a vet with experience, and ideally, he and Pezzetta can implement some fearfulness in that roster.

SO MAYBE, INSTEAD OF ROASTING MY MOVES, hit us with an alternative. Where do you think Klingbizzle is going? What should the habs do?
