I don't see LA being interested at all in that trade. They don't need those players. You would need to major sweeten that with a high pick or strong prospect.

You also can't put Ladd on LTIR if he's, you know, not injured. And since he played last week, I would imagine he's probably okay.

They would take Leddy , but not komarov

Over the last severel weeks when this trade was proposed there was a consensus with Kings fans that Leddy and Komarov would be move for a six . Leddy has regain alot of value from the playoffs. Ladd has two ACL surgeries on two different knees in the past two years I'm sure Lou can find a way. If not Bailey is gone.

I mean maybe they would. I just don't see the point for them. They're not contending, so why add a couple of veterans with high salaries? To help another team out? With cap space at a premium they'd be much smarter to put theirs up for bid. Make teams pony up with picks or young players to dump some contracts. It would be a missed opportunity IMO to just add these guys. I am not saying they're bad players, just that they don't really fit on the Kings.

You can't "find a way" to LTIR a guy. Either he's injured or he isn't. Unless Lamariello is using mob connections to take him out Tanya Harding style, you can't just pretend he's injured. Bailey is the one player you might actually get a return for.

Kings fans on here trade a 5th or 6th for Leddy every other day.

Komarov would take bellows + mid round pick which I can actually see them doing

I would definitely consider selling high on bailey.

Kings fan chiming in here. We would love to have Leddy. Tobias Bjornfot and Mikey Anderson are going to be very good players, likely battling for the privilege to play with Drew Doughty until he retires. However, they're not ready for those kinds of minutes in the NHL just yet. Best case scenario for LA is to find a veteran LD capable of playing defensively responsible, big time minutes against opponents top line to let Drew stabilize after years of a carousel on his left side. The two years on Leddy's contract are ideal because after that one of the two prospects mentioned above will be ready to make the move up to the first pair after marinating on the 2nd/3rd pair.

Komarov is constantly added in because the Kings won't want to spend more than a 3rd rounder on bringing in someone that would be a luxury. In addition, the Kings have the cap space. I'd love to see them pull the trade w/o Komarov, but would take him if absolutely necessary.
