Description
Hey there, so the Los Angeles Kings are in a bit of a rough spot on D right now and they need to make some moves to try and fix that. Trading Sean Durzi, Alex Turcotte, Sean Walker, a 2023 1st round pick, and a 2024 2nd round pick for Jakob Chychrun and Karel Vejmelka from the Arizona Coyotes could be a good move for them. Chychrun is a solid defenseman who can help shore up the Kings' back end, and Vejmelka is a promising young goaltender who could provide some depth in net.

As for putting Jonathan Quick on LTIR until the playoffs, that could actually be a smart move for the Kings. Quick has been struggling this year and putting him on LTIR would give the team some much-needed salary cap relief, while also allowing Quick to get healthy and hopefully play better in the playoffs. It's not ideal, but in the current situation, it might be the best option for the Kings.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Harvey Pinard is a decent player, but he's just not on the same level as Andersson. Andersson is just an awesome player, and it would be a real shame to see him go. I don't think trading him for Harvey Pinard is a good move for the Kings.

You have to be injured to go on LTIR. Quick is not.

The Kings put Andersson on waivers earlier this season. If anyone wanted him, they would have claimed him for free back then.

I disagree with the statement. While Harvey Pinard may not have the same level of recognition as Andersson, it is unfair to judge his value as a player solely based on reputation or past performance. Every player brings unique skills and attributes to a team, and it is possible that Pinard could bring valuable contributions to the Kings. Additionally, player trades are often motivated by a variety of factors beyond individual performance, such as team dynamics, salary considerations, and long-term strategy. It is important to consider the full context of the situation before making a judgement on the potential trade.

I disagree with the statement. Just because Andersson was placed on waivers and was not claimed, it does not necessarily mean that he has no value to other teams. Teams often have specific needs and priorities, and a player that goes unclaimed on waivers one time may be in high demand at another point in the season or in the future. For example, the Calgary Flames claimed Oliver Kylington off waivers in January 2021 after he went unclaimed earlier in the season, and he has since become a regular contributor to the team. Therefore, it is possible that the Kings could still receive a valuable return in a trade for Andersson.
