Big Kings trade

I would be suprised if the Kings cut bait this fast on PLD especially if they need to retain for 7 years. Also do not think Ullmark will get a first plus. Goalies rarely go for that much, the only goalie I can even think of who returned a 1st would be Ryan Miller going to the blues, and worked out pretty bad for them lol.

I feel swayman could be negotiable down to high 6’s- 7 mill.

Doubt LA entertains that, if we wanted those picks there would have to be 0 retention. I also don’t know if I want Dubois, he has the skill the size the speed to be an absolute star in this league but he seriously lacks any drive or motivation to work hard. He’s lazy but maybe with a better coach who holds his players more accountable he could become something again.

Goalies don't have that kind of value, especially with only one year of term and it's unlikely LA throws in the towel on PLD after one down year and retains to boot.

"PLD has negative value" and that's why I'm acquiring him to play #1C on a Stanley Cup contender.

Makes sense.

I'm really curious to know what the full deal was between LA and Boston, this wasn't it though. I only see them retaining in a 1 for 1 situation.
