Seriously, does Toffoli have anything left in the tank?

Forbort sucks and we dont need a dman, so the SJ trade is a no go. i would do the second for Toffoli though

Bruins wouldn’t even do that trade if kovalchuk had 0 cap hit

Yeah toffoli add one great year but for
Most of is career he was a average players. So a second round pick and a b prospect would
Be the max they could
Get

Boston, Winnipeg and Tampa prefer to sign McAvoy, Laine, and Point. Calgary has two goalies who got more wins last year than quick, each.

SJ has enough defensemen, but will take a forward. Any forward. As long as they don't cost anything.

Edmonton counters with Brodziak+Russell+3rd. And along with Forbs, Doughty, and Martinez, that gives you four top-four defensemen to start the season, while the kids develop.

Laf turcotte kupari is the future

If the Kings are retaining 50% of Quick's salary, there's going to be a 1st round pick coming back, especially if Quick is staying in the division. Otherwise the Kings will keep him. If they're only retaining $1M or less, then I could see them accepting less than that.

Kovalchuk trade is fine. My guess is that he goes to Washington, not Boston though. Kings would have to take back a cap dump for either team to make it happen, as neither have space to fit Kovalchuk's contract, even at 50% retention.

Not sure Winnipeg goes for that Carter trade. I think both players aren't worth their contracts, but at least Perreault's term is shorter. Carter has a bit more potential upside, but not three draft picks' worth. If this deal does get done, I think it would be an even swap with no retention or draft picks going either way.

Tyler Toffoli isn't going to return a 1st round pick, especially from a team where that pick could very possibly be a lottery pick. A 2nd and a B prospect is probably what he is worth. If the Kings are going to trade Toffoli, it should be for a 2nd round pick and an offensive prospect that is expansion draft exempt. With Edmonton, I would target Ryan McLeod.

I can see Forbort getting moved at the deadline to a team with defensive injuries looking to add a depth defenseman. A 2nd or 3rd is probably fair, depending on defensive options available at the time.

If Kings by some miracle do win the lottery, the future will be bright for LA. It's already looking pretty good, even without an elite talent like Lafreniere in the pipeline.

Kings would walk away from that mess of a deal.

For whatever reason I have a feeling Toffoli is gonna go off this season. However i think he is most likely going to a playoff contender for a 2nd and a good prospect. If he goes off like I think he will maybe even a 1st and a prospect.

Quick can land a 1st round pick and a good prospect. Teams with no starting caliber goalie will do whatever it takes to get a starting goalie. Especially one like Quick who is a god in the playoffs. I don't want Bennet or any other roster player till we see if Turcotte, Kupari, JAD, Vilardi, Bjornfot, Anderson, and Clague pan out. We don't want that Jets player. We can trade Carter for 2nd and 4th maybe without taking back a player depending on how he is this season. Kings are better off keeping Kovi till his contract expires. He did way better last season than ppl give him credit. He will do really good this season. We can also afford to keep him at 6.25M.

I have wanted to trade Forbort since his 2nd season in the NHL. I would place him on waivers that's how bad he is. He makes Doughty look so bad too.
